i was so fucking sad when i was 14 and now when i fold my laundry or see a pool of moonlight on the floor of my bedroom i know that miracles exist. i see love in everything. love sees everything in me too

“why are you tired? you haven’t done anything all day” the simple fact that i exist drains me. hope this helps

I want mutual obsession, I want to be the hunter and to be hunted. I want to be the cause of your desires, your horrors, your sins. I want, as a parasite, to possess and feed on your mind, your body and your soul; I want to have so much of me in you to the point of driving you insane, to the point where you and I begin to merge. Do not spare yourself, I want you to do the same to me: haunt me, alter me with your attentions and with your word, subjugate my will, ruin me, disgust me, condemn me to love you. And let's love and hate each other to death, but let's love and hate each other through death and after; I am yours and you are mine, for eternity.

The thing about Dionysus is, he will come to you in your dirtiest, filthiest, most shameful place. He will meet you where you are, and he will never ask you to be just one thing, to be holy without being profane, to be whole without your brokenness.

The thing about Dionysus is, he knows. He knows, he knows, he knows. We are human, body and soul, and he knows. He knows body. He knows soul. He’ll ask alot of us, more than we think we can give, but he will not turn his back to our weaknesses.

He will come. He will find us, wherever we are, and - maybe this, most of all - when he goes, he will not leave us here.

― Kahlil Gibran, The Madman

"And I realize in that moment maybe I am heartless after all, because the beautiful girl with the copper hair grinning back at me right now is the one who stole it."

Heartless (Chestnut Springs Series) by Elsie Silver

In My Dreams I Hold a Knife by Ashley Winstead 

“But no matter how much I tried to cling to the shining jewels of my accomplishments, it never took long before my shadow list surfaced. Everything I’d ever failed at, every second place, every rejection, mounting, mounting, mounting, until the suspicion became unbearable. (…) My life was a narrative I couldn’t parse, full of conflicting evidence.”

Daphne du Maurier, from The Parasites
