If you could read my mind 
   you'd be in tears.
 

Small talk with people you used to have deep conversations with is heart breaking.

look at the stars   look how they shine for you

When I started on Witty I was in 9th grade and 15 years old,

I am now 19 and a high school graduate studying Psychology.

  To the girls who love with their  

entire hearts, who pour all of themselves into the relationships, into the people, into the family members, the friends, and the men they love—don’t ever change. Don’t let the world make you harsh because it doesn’t understand the power of forgiveness. Don’t let life turn you cold because people haven’t discovered how loving doesn’t make you weak, but actually gives you strength. See, you have things figured out. You know that there’s power in being a good person, a person who loves and doesn’t look back with regrets. You know that every relationship has built you, every kiss has changed you, and every heartbreak has made you a better lover. You’ve been hurt, but that hasn’t stripped you naked, hasn’t made you careful or guarded. You know that even in hurt there is redemption, and you’ve crossed to the other side, refreshed and renewed. Things haven’t always gone your way; in fact, you’ve had your share of loss and loneliness, but you still love because that’s who you are. You care. You care too much. About things and people, about the ones you’ve loved, about the relationships you’ve been in. And it’s okay to be that way. You have a lot of feelings, a lot of heart. You are too much. But it’s okay to be too much. It’s okay to pour yourself into all aspects of your life, even love. It’s okay to keep believing, keep falling. It’s okay to forgive those who have hurt you. Because forgiveness not only lifts them, but frees yourself. You are not weak because you care too much. No, don’t hurt yourself in the process. Don’t let yourself be taken advantage of or give yourself away with nothing in return. But you shouldn’t feel that it’s weak to care about things and people. Truthfully, you are as strong as they come. So please, never stop caring and loving with that big, beautiful heart of yours. Because for the right person, you won’t be too much. You will be the perfect amount.

You  see  that  girl  staring  into  space?
if you were to ask her what was wrong,
she would say nothing, when in reality,
everything is. she's sitting there, wondering
what she did wrong, what she could've done
differently, how she would've changed it
if she had the chance to. and if she had the
chance to go back and do it all over again,
would it end with the same result?
that's why she stares.
