"You are terrifying and strange and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love."
I saw fear in her eyes
not like the fear
you feel when watching scary movies
or the fear
you feel when you ride a roller coaster
for the first timeBut the kind of fear
that haunts you
the fear
that holds you down and forces you
to watch it over and over again
the fear
was of herself
she feared who she was
she wasn’t her anymoreshe was the fear
that consumed her.
"Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form."
Rumi (via larmoyante)
