I would love to say
that you
make me
weak in the knees
but
to be quite upfront
and completely
truthful
you
make my body
forget
it has knees
at all.
— Derrick Brown, Love Language (via weatherbeatensoul)
Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
— Kahlil Gibran (via quote-book)
