you shine
brighter
than all the
starlight
there has
ever been
or ever
will be.
- emotional abuse is still abuse.
you deserve
someone
who makes
you feel
like the
otherworldly
creature
you are.
- yourself.
be wary
of the boys who
only ever tell
half-truths
because they
will only ever be
half in love
with you.
- slay those dragons.
when
someone
offers to
save you
make it
your mission
to
save yourself.
- i believe in you.
the end.
