“I’m not doing awfully well but I’m trying very, very, very hard,”— Anne Sexton, from a letter to Florence Ehrhardt, c. February 1974
I am figuring out which parts of my personality are mine 
and which ones I created to please you.

I used to think I was being too picky but fuck that. I deserve someone who wants to know about me. It may sound silly but I don’t wanna be out here fucking with people who never ask my favorite color or if I ate today. I deserve someone who wants to hear my dreams just as much as I want to hear theirs. I deserve the same energy and effort I release. Fuck that.
