Quote by butterflies rising

“i once loved someone who tried to control me, and so it became somewhere i couldn't breathe. but i also once loved someone i couldn't trust… and that was a kind of prison, too. because freedom and trust aren't strangers to each other… like there’s a way you feel yourself pulled so strongly to someone who makes you feel free… and i also think you don’t ever feel more like letting your heart run wild than you do with someone to whom the state of your heart matters.”

“i want to believe in things, beautiful things, even the impossible and untouchable feeling things, even the ones we've been told not to and i want to believe in me, and in becoming the most beautiful version of me, and in beautiful things being for me… i want to fiercely believe i'm worthy of it all, even when my fears tell me not to and i want to believe in kind things, and in a world made of good souls and compassion… a world where the light is where the pendulum finally swings no matter how hard it feels… i want to believe so much in these things.”

“your standards for love are going to make some people uncomfortable. and they will try to make you feel like those standards are too high. i think it’s because those standards threaten their comfort zones. what you believe in either challenges how they treat people… or how they've accepted being treated. but none of that is about you. this is your own life. and it will be your own love and your own heart. so don’t ever let anyone make you question your own standards… keep them high.”
