quote – Page 3 – Silenticel

I haven’t lived long, but I’ve lived long enough to know that closing myself off to the world doesn’t prevent pain; it only postpones it. I am learning to live with my heart off it’s hinges and the door wide open because pain is going to enter regardless. It is better to enjoy the time I have in the sun than waste it worrying about when it’s going to rain.

things i wish i’d realized before: don’t miss out on incredible experiences and incredible love just because you are afraid of getting hurt; the world is going to hurt you regardless. love fearlessly. // a.s.m

You always used to say if something was meant to be it would happen, and yet I can’t help but wonder if perhaps sometimes we are meant to fight for things to happen.

to my first love: i’m scared to stand idly by and hope for things to work out between us, because what if they never do? what if i was meant to fight for us? // a.s.m

If you find someone who makes you believe in love, never let them go.

I regret leaving every day // a.s.m

I’ve heard that quote that says ‘do one thing every day that scares you.’ But what if every day is a nightmare that I’m not quite sure how to navigate? What if every day in itself terrifies me? What then?

the unpredictability of my state of mind makes life similar to a haunted house ride // a.s.m

You don’t need to understand it to enjoy it.

don’t let your fear of the unknown prevent you from enjoying life // a.s.m

Every now and then
I fall in love again,
but I think
you’ll always have my heart.

i don’t think i will ever really be over you // a.s.m

There’s a difference between missing someone and missing having someone.

you don’t miss me, you’re just lonely // a.s.m

I either feel like I’m too much or not enough.

i’ve never felt just right for anybody // a.s.m

you and i
are under a spotlight and
there’s not much room in this
petri dish to dance,
so hold me close and sway with me darling,
dip me over the edge.

because they’re watching our every move // a.s.m

I was your shooting star: just
a bright wish passing by
to get you through a dark time. But
you are my moon, persistently
invading my
thoughts at night and burning
your afterimage into my
mind.

you never loved me, but my love for you is imprinted in my irises // a.s.m
