I hear almost every argument is a race for the victim spot. - Andrea Gibson

Lately I’ve been thinking about who I want to love, and how I want to love, and why I want to love the way I want to love, and what I need to learn to love that way, and who I need to become to become the kind of love I want to be…and when I break it all down, when I whittle it into a single breath, it essentially comes out like this: Before I die, I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.

Some people will never understand the kind of superpower it takes for some people to just walk outside.

I suffer
from unrequited self love.
I love myself, but I don’t
Love myself
back.
