riskeverythingfearnothing:

We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time. More…

One day I’m will be strong enough to be honest with myself, so that I can really know, I mean really understand and digest, my own story. Sometimes I get so caught up in building a life, that I forget that my imagination, the world that I’ve built out of dreams, is not my...

See I don’t think you’ve ever been treated. You’ve been lusted after, chased, given ultimatums, pinched, poked, prodded and partitioned. But, you’ve never been treated, taken out, treasured, toppled with flowers that flow over you while you sit in a chair where you’re comfortable, and content and I don’t know that you’ve been held and honored and hoped for. You’ve...

love happens; it is so incredibly messy. and people around you can’t comprehend why you do the things you do, or why you fight so hard for something that seems to cause you so much pain, because simply… they can’t see. they can’t see the invisible ring of insanity that surrounds you when you’re in love. it’s inconvenient and painful and devastating at times, but we can’t live...

I don’t like that people get executed.
I don’t like that we celebrate a human’s execution.
