“She’s a mystery shrouded in shadows so thick they are like honey, but you best believe she is something much sweeter as you sift through her mind and find things funny..”

“Do you know what torture by hope is? After despair, calm sets in, but hope can drive you mad.”—Anna Akhmatova, quoted by Lydia Chukovskaya in the “The Akhmatova Journals,”
The reason the work you’ve done on how you feel doesn’t seem like it’s working is because you need to do it until it works. It’s never been “this strategy will pull you up” it’s always been “here’s something you can do that will END with you getting out of that hole” the climbing still hurts and the being underground still hurts but that doesn’t mean it’s not working
*doing laundry* “this doesn’t feel better
*cooking meals* this doesn’t feel better
*exercising* this doesn’t feel better
*making art* this doesn’t feel better
*cleaning the apartment* this doesn’t feel better
*somewhere months or years down the line*
holy shit

You… I never thought I’d fall in love with you; but now I can’t imagine life without being in love with you.
