Scar Tissue.

I fell in love with a spiteful man.

And as he robbed the last bit of light from my eyes,

I stood firm,

my arms open for the scared little boy that stood before me.

And even now, as I lay abandoned in the islands of darkness, I still think

“He just needed it more”.

What’s the difference between a safety net and a trap?

One releases you when you’re ready.

The other….

You’ll have to break yourself into pieces to get out.

i wish you kinder, softer days that put your heart at ease

Protected my peace so hard that letting the right one in felt like a trap.

Little did I know the trap was just safety net, and all I had to do was trust us enough to jump.

Growth can feel small.

But seeing the breadcrumbs and stopping

Seeing the breadcrumbs for what they are

Realizing that they won’t lead to where you want to go.

And then leaving the breadcrumbs there,

Even when you’re starving

Even when there’s no other sustenance in sight

Even when you’ve never been the one to give up before reaching the destination

Even when the destination is obviously a train wreck

But seeing the breadcrumbs

Seeing them, and leaving them there.

And turning back, with the hope that there’s another path

Or a secret garden entrance you missed.

Walking back and starting over again -

That’s still you moving forward.

That’s still your growth.

date someone who is interested in you . i don’t mean someone who thinks you’re cute or funny . i mean someone who wants to know every insignificant detail about you there’s a difference between attraction and interest ,find the person who wants to learn every aspect of who you are

The safe choice may not set fire to my heart, but at least he can’t break it.

Not like you did.
