unlike anything else

If he wants to leave you, let him leave. You are terrifying, strange, and beautiful. Not something everyone knows how to love.

silent

To say "I want you"
would sound far too eager.

To say "I need you"
would sound far too desperate.

To say "I love you"
would sound far too hasty.

So I remain silent,
hoping not to sound
too indifferent.

beautiful disaster


I will teach my daughter not to wear her skin like a drunken apology. I will tell her ‘make a home out of your body, live in yourself, do not let people turn you into a regret, do not justify yourself. If you are a disaster it is not forever, if you are a disaster you are the most beautiful one I’ve ever seen. Do not deconstruct from the inside out, you belong here, you belong here, not because you are lovely, but because you are more than that.’ Azra T.
