Butterflies Rising Quotes

“heartbreak has this way of making your world seem so small, just taking everything that has meaning and collapsing it into one single story, with only one other person, and just one version of yourself, in just one version of life, with what feels like no way out, and as if there is nothing more to know but this world is too wide, and this universe is too big, and you are just. too. beautiful, and there is just way too much inside of you… for you to let this be the end this isn’t the end…”

“i didn’t know how to measure my worth, and it led me to someone who measured his worth in attention from her, and also her, and her… and any other her to hurt me he thought there was power in possession and pain, and that a man’s kingdom should be built on the stepping of her back and the forfeit of her crown so i forfeited. and i faded. but i’m learning things… like how real lovers don’t come in numbers. they aren’t prisoners. they’re not meant to be suffocated, or left for granted… and how i’m full enough of wonder to hold someone’s attention, that my full voice matters, my full-bodied existence is beautiful, and that a man on the strong side of oppression isn’t the same thing as a man who is strong.”

“beautiful… the way you say it, how it feels. too. good. like quenching thirst on my skin. how i feel too desperate to hear it… but how i can't let it stay because i'm too unsure to hold it. so please… don't say it. i want to have heard it enough in my own voice that i don't need you to say it… but, also… so that when you do… i can let it fall on me without a fight …let me fall madly for me first.”
