your body is yours. it is not up for criticism by anyone, not your friends, not someone you’re daiting, your parents, or some rando on the street. it is yours, and yours alone. no one else’s opinion in it matters.

The problem was that I craved intimacy to the same degree that I detested commitment.
Don’t allow your wounds to turn you into a person you are not.
Paulo Coelho (via thelovejournals)
My soul made love
to your soul.
Long before
our bodies met.
My heart wasn’t supposed to break for an almost lover. But it did.
And God, it hurt like hell.
Two people who were once very close can without blame or grand betrayal become strangers. Perhaps this is the saddest thing in the world.
I’ve been in love before, it’s like a narcotic. At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day you want more. You’re not addicted yet, but you like the sensation, and you think you can still control things.You think about the person you love for two minutes then forget them for three hours. But then you get used to that person, and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If he’s not there, you feel like an addict who can’t get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need, you’re willing to do anything for love.
They did feel it, yet neither spoke of it, for often between ourselves and those nearest and dearest to us there exists a reserve which it is very hard to overcome.
When a thing has served its purpose, it will go away. If you try to hold on to something that has already fulfilled its purpose in your life, you are going to hurt yourself. If holding on is disturbing your peace of mind, it makes sense to let go. Surrender all attachments to people and things that you have been struggling to hold on to.
