“People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them and their response is “you’re safe with me” - that’s intimacy.”
— The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid (via jenshraders)
I think I want my next piercing to be through my heart with a wooden stake
And today I will not suffer. Today I will not burn. Today I will be fine, my emotions will not churn. And, by the end of today will I consider you mine.
D. G.
I promised myself I would never fall in love, but it was 4am and we were laughing way to hard and I felt happy for the first time in a long time.

“And when you are old, I will still be there, carrying you. When your limbs grow tired, your eyes are weak, And your hair a silvery gray, I will carry you as I always have. I will carry you and save you.”
— Isaiah 46:4
Sie liebten sich beide, doch (Heinrich Heine)
Sie liebten sich beide, doch keiner
Wollt es dem andern gestehn;
Sie sahen sich an so feindlich,
Und wollten vor Liebe vergehn.
Sie trennten sich endlich und sahn sich
Nur noch zuweilen im Traum;
Sie waren längst gestorben,
Und wußten es selber kaum.

You want to know what happiness is? It’s waking up in the middle of the night for no reason, shifting under the blankets and feeling the heat of the person next to you. You turn around and see them in their most vulnerable state. They breathe as if the weight of the world lays on anyone’s shoulder but their own. You smile, kiss their face in the most gentle manner so as not to wake them. You turn back and an involuntary grin forms on your face. You feel an arm wrap around your waist, and you know it doesn’t get any better than this.
