1 " I am playing hide-and-seek with the person I used to be and the person I could be "
― Christina Hart , There Is Beauty In the Bleeding
2 " Beginnings are beautiful— the potential, the hope, the realization that you can still feel. But the endings are where the magic happens. The world crashing down around you as you reassemble all the parts that make you. The slaughter, if you think about it, it’s gorgeous. "
3 " I am playing hide-and-seek with the person I used to be and the person I could be and I cannot find either of them anywhere. "
4 " There's a terrible sadness in meand I don't know if it's personalor just part of being human. "
5 " And then I realized the problem wasn’t all the things they said about me, the problem was that I believed them. "
6 " I love when it rains, when it seems like the sky has had enough of keeping it all in and finally explodes "
7 " There is beauty in the bleeding. There is hope in the healing. "
8 " Living in the past takes up a lot of time. Sometimes it will even take your future if you let it. "
9 " I’m sorry that I pick people apart, dissecting them into fragments of things I like and things I don’t like, "
10 " And just like other girls,I have been conditionedto say "sorry"even whenI am not wrong. "
11 " am playing hide-and-seek with the person I used to be and the person I could be and I cannot find either of them anywhere. "
12 " Sometimes I wonder if they can still smell me on their sheets or if they just think of me whenever loneliness wraps her hand around their throats. Maybe they feel me in the squeeze, maybe they remember me in the choke. Or maybe I am their safe word, "
13 " And I carry on, because it’s the only thing I can do. "
14 " WRECKAGE When everything feels harder than it once was, I need you to remind me of the soft places within me. When I am standing amidst the wreckage, remind me to dance. "
15 " They tried so hard to break me, but they didn’t try hard enough. "
16 " There is always an escape. There is never an escape. "
17 " I am still learning about love and what it should be. I am still learning about love and what it isn’t. "
18 " TRYING TO BE OKAY And maybe life isn’t about growing up or moving on, maybe it’s about being who we are and where we are and being completely okay with it. "
19 " That’s the problem with giving someone your body. Sometimes you never get it back. "
20 " I had a dream of you. And in it, you loved me too. "
