“Loving someone with addiction is heartbreaking. Loving someone in recovery is heartwarming.”

If you want to love me, let me be strong. Let me stand on my own two feet and make my own decisions. Let me fight my own battles and raise my own voice. Let me speak for myself and take control of my own situations.

I want to feel like the best damn thing about your week.

I want our love to be loud. I want it to be fierce. I want it to be passionate. I want it to be anything but mundane and ho-hum and familiar.

You kissed me and it tasted like poetry.

When you love a girl that isn’t afraid to love, you see that love is nothing to fear.

You say you love me, but you don’t. You don’t love that I’m standing firm on my two feet, that I’ve never felt the need to lean on anyone else, that even when I let you in so willingly, so freely, I still won’t make you my savior. Because I don’t need any saving.

Here’s what you need to know: It’s okay to not feel okay. It’s okay to be ‘off’. It’s okay to hurt, to be confused, to feel broken, to cry, to just need a break. It’s okay to need someone. It’s okay to seek help.
