“Things have their ways. They speak to us. They nudge us. Things live amongst us. Or, more properly put, we live amongst them. When I look at something, at anything, that thing quite literally fills my body. To perceive is to be affected. It is silly to think that we have some soul, some being, that is free from the life of things, that is somehow better than, or disengaged with, the materiality of things.”
— Daniel Coffeen, The Life of Things

To feel everything
So very deeply.”
— David Jones, Love And Space Dust
Tagged: Girls Who Feel Too Much
“Poor Sasha. Poor girls. The world fattens them on the promise of love. How badly they need it, and how little most of them will ever get. The treacled pop songs, the dresses described in the catalogs with words like 'sunset' and 'Paris.' Then the dreams are taken away with such violent force; the hand wrenching the buttons of the jeans, nobody looking at the man shouting at his girlfriend on the bus.”

“There are going to be people who cannot contain all of the love you are capable of giving them within their chests. They will fumble with the enormity of your affection; they will try to cleave at the heart of you, collapse you until you fit into the shapes and the sizes of their needs. They will tell you that you are too much — too intense, too soft, and you must walk away. You must remind yourself that when you do not fit into the contours of their arms, it is not because you are too big, too free, too liberated, it is because they simply were never meant to hold you at all.”
— Bianca Sparacino, You Deserve The Love You Keep Trying To Give Everyone Else

“If you love something, love it completely, cherish it, say it, but most importantly, show it. Life is finite and fragile and just because something is there one day, it might not be the next. Never take that for granted.

Say what you need to say, then say a little more. Say too much. Show too much. Love too much.

Everything is temporary.
Love outlives us all.”
— R. Queen, keys of shadow & light

“i dont know what living a balanced life feels like
when i am sad
i dont cry i pour
when i am happy
i dont smile i glow
when i am angry
i dont yell i burn
the good thing about feeling in extremes is
when i love i give them wings
but perhaps that isn’t
such a good thing cause
they always tend to leave
and you should see me
when my heart is broken
i don’t grieve
i shatter”
— Rupi Kaur, Balance
