always in my headspace
When he’s a “When we don't know who to hate, we hate ourselves” guy and i’m a “Tell me every terrible thing you ever did, and let me love you anyway” girl
My friend asked me, “who’s the most beautiful out of your friends?”
I wanted to say, “you cannot rank beauty. Beauty is all around. We are beautiful when we all sit in a circle and laugh until tears stream down our face. We are beautiful when a mother wakes up an hour early so all of her children can go to school with full bellies and a secondary supply to last them through the day. We are beautiful when a lumberjack plants a tree for every one he cuts down, and when someone lends their neighbor rice when they have none to spare. We are beautiful when two best friends roll down a grassy hill, roaring their triumph to the sky, saying ‘we are here we are here we are here.’ We are beautiful when a nurse holds the hand of a dying patient when no one else showed up to do so. You cannot rank beauty. Beauty is in every breath, every glance, every touch, every thought.”
Instead, I said nothing at all.
of course, I feel too much, I'm a universe of exploding stars.

Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it.
