#hurt

There’s no magical healing in this. I won’t wake up tomorrow fixed and joyful. I’ll still hurt and grieve. But moments like this, with Colton? They make it all bearable. He doesn't fix me, doesn't heal me. He just makes life worthwhile. He helps me remember to breathe, shows me how to smile again. He kisses me, and I can forget pain, forget the urges I still have to cut for the pain that erases the emotions. ↗

What do you do when the one person you want comfort from the most is the one who caused your pain? How can I want so desperately for him to wrap me up in his arms but also want so much for him to leave me alone. ↗

And maybe that was love. Being so vulnerable and allowing someone else in so far they could hurt you, but they also give you everything. ↗

Is that love, do you think?" he asks, sounding genuinely curious. "Being crazy about someone no matter how much they hurt you? ↗

Everyone always wants to know how you can tell when it's true love, and the answer is this: when the pain doesn't fade and the scars don't heal, and it's too damned late. ↗

To make one person the center of your world is bound to end in disaster. There are too many factors outside your control. ↗
