"He loved her in a subtle kind of way. It wasn’t the kind of love you see in movies, with swelling music and giant gestures and running through the streets to catch a departing train. It wasn’t the kind of love that Byron or Shakespeare wrote about, with flowery language and hyperbole and iambic pentameter. It was still and deep, like water that you might mistake for shallow if you just watched the surface. It was entirely his, not dependent on her own feelings for him, and it would still be there whether she, or him, or everyone else on the world disappeared. It was a subtle kind of love, but it was true."

"Do not settle for less than exactly what you want. Your heart’s desires are there for a reason. Chase them. Pursue them relentlessly. Do not lose sight of your goals. They are your very reason for being."

- Franki Durbin (via perfect)

i feel so vulnerable and i hate it. Everyday i hope you don’t hurt me because i know i wouldn’t be able to handle it. I’m so scared your getting tired of me. I just wish things could be like they were in the beginning. What changed? what happened? I wish i could trust you like i used to so i wouldn’t have to worry about anything. I wish you never lied to me. i don’t understand why you would. what did i do to make you feel like you need to? i would do and i do everything and anything to make you happy. Why does it feel like you care less now? i feel like you take me for granted. i refuse to be treated this way and even though walking away would be the hardest thing i would ever have to do, i will if you continue you to hurt me. I hope that you realize what you have, i hope that what you say to me is true and i hope you really love me like you say you do.

i just wish for once in my life for someone one to treat me the way i treat them.
