H- Honestly…I just care so fucking much about the stupidest things. I wish I could turn it off.
S- Turn it off?
H - Yea. I wish I didn’t care so much. I feel too hard.
S- Oh come on. If being the world’s biggest empath is your tragic flaw…
H - I would hardly say that.
S- Why not?
H - I have been so…awful to you.
S - You have so much of love in your heart, Harper. You need to keep putting it in different places. You just have to keep going.
im a really affectionate person once you get past my 5 layers of shyness, awkwardness, fear, vague dislike, and loneliness

Stop apologizing for being alive, stop saying sorry for experiencing emotions
“Stop apologizing, Harper. Stop apologizing for taking up space. The world needs more of you, not less.”
How silly to compare her
to hurricanes
to thunderstorms
to temporary
cliche swirls of emotion.
She is concrete. She is permanent.She is brave with her words
and slick with her heart.
There is concentration dripping from her pores
and love sticking to her bones.She is a lifetime of goodmornings.
She is the warmth of lilac sheets.
She is firmly planted.
She sticks in your mouth
and slams against your jaw.She is everything
imaginable,and you’re telling me
the best you can come up with
is a fucking 30 minute storm?

She is always sitting with her little nose burrowing into books.
‘You gave me hyacinths first a year ago;
‘They called me the hyacinth girl.’
—Yet when we came back, late, from the Hyacinth garden,
Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not
Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither
Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,
Looking into the heart of light, the silence.
T. S. Eliot, “The Waste Land" (via inampullapendere)
“I’ll bring you hyacinths to make you smile, and you’ll never have to hide it.”
(via ktbergs)
