Hannah :

“If you looked back I wouldn’t be there. I did stay awhile though”.

this is one of the most heart breaking poems I've ever heard

𝓶𝓪𝓭𝓭𝔂 :

17 feels like a life time ago now looking back at 30.

maisie :

This is the most beautiful thing about losing someone. That version of people we loved gets to stay ours forever, long after we’re loved by others and our favourite colours change. My favourite colour is pink now, but if asked, they would say it’s blue and I think that’s so beautiful

Juliet Baer :

While I’m glad I didn’t end up with my high school/college sweetheart, I’ve always appreciated the fact that we grew up together and helped mold the adults we eventually became for the people we were actually meant for. It was worth every fight over nonsense, feelings too intense to really understand and the us vs the world mentality. Some people are really meant for a season/a reason and there is something so wonderful about that.

Katie :
