I’m not looking for somebody who will

" Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence. "
- me: *lays down in my bed*
- my entire body: YES! YES! YES THANK YOU GOD!!!!!! YES YES YES YE
“Just trust your gut”

John Joseph Powell, The Secret of Staying in Love
just think about how grateful your future self will be if you keep going. how glad you will be for having worked so hard. it will all be worth it.
