He is not a bad person for not being
in love with me anymore. To say it out loud. To mean it.
To know it, true as a toothache. To remember how badly
I wanted to have it back, your love. How hard I fought.
But in the end, how even I knew. Like how trees know
to let go of their leaves, that nothing can stop the winter. Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz (via im-sad-lets-have-sex)

My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you’ve been mean to someone, they won’t believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it’s time to stop being nice, then destroy them. Laurell K. Hamilton (via mcccviii)
