just be yourself

“I tell people not to bother with looking for a boy who opens doors and walks you to your car. Because they’re just a little more acknowledging. But at the end of it, everyone stops doing the little things.”

Lately, I’ve been having those days where I just want to shut everything off. Shut my senses, shut my emotions, shut out people from getting to close. I don’t have the time for unnecessary closeness, you know? Why would anyone want to open their heart to someone and willingly give up everything for them to have the other person say “Oh, actually, nvm. I take it back, I don’t want it.” There’s too many things in life to deal with, and honestly, anything temporary is just pointless.

"I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (“I’m not a big one for paying compliments…”), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself. For a moment life suddenly feels lighter, a bit more Gene Kelly dancing in the rain."

look at the way he holds her. look at his facial expression. it’s as if he feels like if he lets her go, it will be forever. his desperation to stay holding on to her is simply rare. he’s holding her with the intention of never letting go. he needs her. and this is what I find beautiful.

"Socializing is as exhausting as giving blood. People assume we loners are misanthropes, just sitting thinking, ‘Oh, people are such a bunch of assholes,’ but it’s really not like that. We just have a smaller tolerance for what it takes to be with others. It means having to perform. I get so tired of communicating."

Sometimes I miss you.

But I think that’s just me hating the idea of being alone. So I force myself to believe that I miss you.

I don’t. Not really.

I’m not going to change for you.

I don’t care how much you think you have such an effect on me, but I won’t feed your ego. I’m not the type of person that gets easily pushed around. If you think you had that kind of power over me, well, I’m sorry for disappointing you.
