"That was a long time ago, but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I’ve learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years".
-Khaled Hosseini, The kite runner
I love you 💌
I hope people around me love me enough to do sadaqa jariyah in my name when I die.

And then September to heal it.
God made the month August to break my heart
-Charles Bukowski, "cancer," from Come On In!
Frrrrr
“I want a bf” “I want a gf” okay??? I want to let go of my past no matter how hurtful the memories might be??? I want love to define me rather than break me in my feverish attempts to seek it????? I want the ever shifting opinions of other people to no longer have such a chokehold on me?????
