what a shame doctors don’t prescribe vacation to secluded seaside towns like they used to
"But there is a clarity about September. On clear days, the sun seems brighter, the sky more blue, the white clouds take on marvelous shapes; the moon is a wonderful apparition, rising gold, cooling to silver; and the stars are so big."
– Faith Baldwin, Evening Star
— Susan Sontag, from “Death Kit,” (1967) (via lunamonchtuna)
I always am about to go to sleep at a beautiful 11pm and then something happens to me
It's amazing to know just how much our faith would grow if we spent less time telling God about our problems and started speaking words of faith over those problems instead.
In my storm I would always complain about my feelings, but nothing changed. I complained about what I lacked, but nothing changed. I would complain about how things looked like they were not going to workout, but still nothing changed. But I realized that nothing was changing because my words were not changing.
God knew how I felt, what I lacked, and how things looked - not only was He fully aware, He was the One in total control. He wanted me to understand that, and start speaking words of change into my situation instead of just complain.
If the hair on our heads are numbered, then every word we speak must be recorded. If God is listening, and you can bet the world He is, then He wants to hear words that will cause Him to move, and nothing will do that like words of faith.
So speak to your situation words of faith and be consistent in doing so. If you know God has opened a door for you that no man can close, then confess that!
If you know your latter days are going to be greater than your former, confess that!
If you know God is working your situation out to your advantage, confess that!
Confess words of faith and watch how things begin to change in your favor!

To: My secret love
Would you please notice me? my love for you? all these days and weeks and months, i want you to notice me. I want you to see that that person you're with is no good, i could and would treat you a lot better. that is what you deserve.
I know maybe you can never feel anything for me other than what we have, but then tell me why do I feel that gaze of yours on me, eye contacts which linger, soft touches which shoot electric current through our spines. why do i feel this peace and happy feelings exploding in my chest when I see you smile. is it only what we have? nothing more?
your laugh, your eyes, your smile, your spectacles, your hands and your voice, everything is just so beautiful. I know the exact things to say to make you laugh. I know whenever you're sad, whenever you're angry or upset. I even know sometimes what made you upset. I want to keep you happy. To see that smile of yours. To hold your hand. To go places with you. To be in bed with you. in your embrace. to be with you, emotionally, physically, mentally. Be mine.
That night, when you cried to me about your grandparents, i wanted to hold you, to hig you and comfort you. to kiss you and tell you everything's gonna be all right.
That time when we laughed together and talked for endless hours, I want to do that everyday.
Your smile. Your smile when i bought your favourite biscuits. I want to see that again.
I love hearing your rants after the day ends, amd you're all tired and weared out, I want to hear those everyday.
You hear all my rants and talks. even the things i feel like are unnecessary, you hear them too.
When we fought, you stayed. You stayed and figured it out with me.You stayed.
I remember the time when things weren't great at my family, and you comforted me.
I want to be with you. Be with me please. I want to kiss you on your forehead, to play with your hair, have you lay down on my lap. To have you in my arms at the end of the day. To come home to you even when we're both tired, but seeing your mere smile would fix that. To talk to you endlessly on calls, To laugh and cry and to love and fight with you.
Be mine.
