You stay because you love them.
And they tell you they love you.
Because you want to believe it’s somewhere deep in there— and maybe it is.
But not enough.
Not in the way you need.

You are peace and gratitude. You are all things calm and comforting. You are a light rain on a sunny day, tapping against my window. You are the calm, not the storm.

All she wanted was to feel okay.
And she couldn’t even have that.
MK Ireland #266 : desperation
“Have you ever been in love before?”
“Yeah…with you.”
MK Ireland #265 : conversations part one
“I just- I love you so much, I don’t even know how to say it.”
“I know. I do too.”
MK Ireland #264 : a nameless night together
I look at you, and I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone more beautiful. Inside and out.

I’m going to be the most obnoxiously loud happy person this world has ever seen because I spent ten years consumed by suffocating depression and I am damn proud for overcoming it and I won’t silence or stifle myself for anything or anyone anymore.
MK Ireland #260 : h a p p i n e s s
I want him. I want him again. And more. And all to myself.
MK Ireland #259 : desire
I’ve got that excited, nervous feeling you experience when you fall in love for the first time and I thought it was something I’d never experience again. I’m not a nervous person, ask anyone. But then I’m talking to you and…I falter…my stomach flutters. I feel like I’m 15 again and don’t know what to say. It’s silly but it’s exciting. I feel young again, full of life. I’m nervous and it’s terrifying, but it’s empowering because I can still feel that. I can feel it again. It’s something I’ll never lose. If I’ve learned anything in my past 19 years, it’s that there are so many things in this world that will light your soul on fire, that will make you feel alive. Don’t settle for any less than that. Don’t settle for mediocre love, you deserve something passionate and wild, you deserve to feel that adrenaline. If you don’t have it yet, keep searching.
MK Ireland #257 : adrenaline
You hurt me so quietly, I confused it with love.
MK Ireland #252 : pain & suffering
One day, even my deepest scars will be healed.
MK Ireland #251 : clean
Intentional or not, if all he’s doing is hurting you, at some point you have to walk away.
MK Ireland #250 : self preservation
I’m finally starting new again…I’m not sure if that thought’s more refreshing or terrifying.
MK Ireland #247 : leaving you
