You don’t deserve my time, but you deserve my forgiveness. You deserve God.

It’s wanting to be close to someone, literally anyone, but always keeping people at an arm’s length because giving someone that kind of opportunity also means giving them the opportunity to leave.

There he was. His blue eyes locked with mine and he hurried out of sight. Ouch. Awkward.

“The first thing I notice in someone is their smile, but also I think one of the main most attractive things to me is someone who has wit/intelligence. I am a sucker for a person who speaks with conviction.”

I’m teaching myself how to love myself so that one day, if someone (who meets my now unwavering and impeccably high standards) does come along, he/she will know how to love me, too.

You don’t have to worry about doing what someone else wants to do.

I, like many young girls, had been brainwashed by society to think that my body was sacred. That my temple was to be protected at all costs and that I was a conquest to be conquered over time.
