Over time, you might find yourself growing apart from them and preferring the company of the people around them. That’s usually a sign that the connection that once brought you two together is no longer there.

None of the people around them seem to like them.

They can tell when something’s going on with you without you even having to say anything about it.

Of the 12 signs, Pisces is least likely to betray you.

Darling,
if ever you find yourself
delirious and overwhelmed
with the temptation
to reach out to me,
I hope you choose
to crawl back into the grave
that you dug for yourself instead.

We must take care of ourselves and each other if we wish to continue functioning in a meaningful way.

Loyalty is painting your own face so you can follow them into the circus just to make sure that they don’t lose themselves. Loyalty is reminding them that this is not home and the paint does come off.

The fights feel like a relief, because you finally have an excuse to run away from them; to avoid them.

Family isn’t in the last name. It’s in the lessons and the matching scars.

In the beginning, we were so happy. The house was everything we needed.

Blame genetics. Blame evolution. Blame her parents. Blame the planets for the way that they aligned in the sky that night.

I think of you
at 2 a.m.
dancing around my bedroom by myself,
surprised by how much I can move
in the space
you no longer occupy.

Not to brag or anything, but I can make some bomb ass blanket forts, with the assistance of your living room furniture and my inability to grow up.

Call me crazy, but I swear, I can’t help but see the entirety of my childhood reflected in your face. When I look at you, I can’t help but feel a little homesick.

Thank you for keeping me from drifting away from myself, or drowning in anyone else’s expectations.
