When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn’t make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking. When we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. “It’s all right” we whisper, “I’m here, I love you.” and we lie: “I’ll never leave you.” For just a moment or two the darkness doesn’t seem so bad.

Even after the entire world has taken me apart, there’s still a part of me left for you.
– I Wrote This For You: The Remaining Me (via kari-shma) Via twentythree :May you do the things you want to and always remember what it felt like when you were doing them.
– I Wrote This For You: The House We Keep Moments In (via kari-shma) Via twentythree :Things end. People leave. And you know what? Life goes on. Besides, if bad things didn’t happen, how would you be able to feel the good ones?
– Elizabeth Scott (via kari-shma) Via twentythree :About me
I want a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep and wake, knowing my heart is safe.
