reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)

TRUTHS I HAVE LEARNT:

1. no one knows what love is; or at least no one can give me a consistent definition. this morning when i asked my mother she said ‘darling, it is the way a breath travels through the body. an essential movement that alters ever so slightly depending on the reason behind the inhale and the strength of the exhale.’ last night when i asked she rolled her eyes ‘love is the reason i havent killed you for leaving dirty socks on the floor.’

2. the stars lie like humans do, but only because they have no voice of their own. all we ever hear them say are the thoughts we think so deep down in the dark that they require the light of a star to unveil them.

3. humans are beautiful but so are storms and i know which of the two i am more afraid of.

i. There’s a corner of my mind where we sleep all tangled legs and cheeks pressed to shoulders and slow breaths.

ii. What I want is your shadow painted on my bedroom wall, my lipstick smeared at the corner of your mouth, your toothbrush in the holder beside mine, my name falling from your tongue in the middle of the night.

iii. There’s a vintage wedding band gathering dust in a locked jewelry box.

iv. I want to take you home to meet my family, want you to understand the ground from which I was born, want you to walk the labyrinth of my history, want to read the library of yours.

v. You run to me in the airport and we sway with the relief of the drumming of our heartbeats knocking together once more.

vi. I want to feel your fingertips against each stroke of ink in my skin, want to thread my fingers through your hair, want to tangle our lives together until we can never pull apart again.

vii. Our white-knuckled clasped hands ache from holding on too tight, nails digging into each other’s palms, but we don’t let go.

viii. I want to forget the word love ever existed separate from our names.

“Here’s how you stop being average: When you wake up in the morning and need to brush your teeth, and you have that thought, “Oh, I should actually floss too,” then floss. When you go to make yourself breakfast and you have that thought, “Oh, I said I was going to eat healthier,” make the healthy choice instead of the unhealthy one. When you go to head to train for work and you have the choice between taking the stairs or the escalator, and you hear that voice in your head that says, “Oh, I said I was going to be more physically active,” take the stairs. When you get into work and you sit down in front of your first task, and you have that thought, “Oh, I said I was going to work on being more productive,” turn off all distractions and get to work—instead of browsing Facebook, for example. When you leave work and you’re exhausted and you have that thought, “Oh, I said I was going to work on my book this week,” don’t go to the bar. Go home and work on your book. When you get ready for bed and you feel like winding down, and you have that thought, “I said I was going to read more instead of watching so much Netflix,” pick up a book instead of opening a web browser. Being average is a choice—that’s what a lot of people don’t understand. You know what you need to do. And a tiny, faint voice in your head reminds you of what you need to do, or what you had said you were going to do, a lot more often than you might realize. Start listening to that voice.”

The Signs As Things I Love About Life

Aries: When you fall in love with someone over and over again. Taurus: When you get to hold someone’s hand for the first time or receiving a really tight and warm hug. Gemini: When you laugh so hard that your stomach begins to hurt, but you continue to laugh because of the amount of joy it brings you. Cancer: Seeing a baby or small child smile at you or hearing the laughter of a baby. Leo: When you unexpectedly have an amazing day and it leaves a permanent smile for the rest of the day. Virgo: When you’re listening to certain music that makes you feel calm and gives you chills that causes your hair to stand up. Libra: Having a strong interest in something and perusing it. Scorpio: When you release all the emotions you’ve been repressing and you finally get an sense of relief. Sagittarius: Going on adventures with your friends and having the time of your life. Capricorn: When you watch a movie with a deep meaning and it gives you a different outlook on life. Aquarius: Sitting down in a crowded area and watching people going on with their lives and wondering “who they are” and “what is their story”. Pisces: Being alive.
