" We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased. "
C.S. Lewis (via feellng)
" saint jude, patron saint
of hopeless causes (of
almost ruined things) (of

stick your bloody fingers
into the fire & rip me out.
rescue me from this unrighteous
ruining & let me begin again.
give me a softer start this time.
give me an untainted body &
savior that doesn’t want to kill me.
give me a story i am not always
waiting for the ending to. "

hey kids if ur parents are abusive, dont be surprised if they suddenly change all their behaviors when u finally move out, if they start acting very nice and never even allude to all those times Before when they were treating u bad. this is a form of gaslighting and if u plan to keep distant from them as an adult, this may well be the defining characteristics of ur interaction w/ them. it’s tough to navigate this, because u will almost definitely wonder: was i abused? listen… when u sit in ur own home someday, maybe w/ a loved one, and things feel good, and the past feels far away, ur abuse was not made up. ur parents really did those things, and whether or not u want to keep them out of ur life or form a new dynamic w/ them, that’s up to u. but never let them make u believe they were always good to u.

I’m angry at everything that I’ve lost this past year. I lost my general confidence in driving a car, and it forces me to hide inside my house. I’m angry that I’ve let people into my life with unlimited chances to redeem themselves but it just won’t do. I’m finished with giving my trust to people who will only ever decide to choose themselves over anyone else. Up yours.
