love it when people are just a little bit unraveled. hair wisps flying everywhere, wrinkles in yesterday’s t-shirt, pockets reserved for useless things only. fingers kissed blue from the last pen that fell in love with you. laugh on the wrong side of raw. smile on the right side of bizarre. bright eyes smeared kohl dark, hungry mouth stained lollipop red. messy messy messy messy. you are blurry like the edges of my favorite old photograph. each second you’re born anew. you are beautiful and terrible and the most irreplaceable part of living and i could love you forever and ever and ever

I am in love. So big. And it feels safe and good and like I can really curl up and make a home here.

All the days where I felt so lonely it hurt, or convinced myself that what I deserved was lies and fear and love that was only dished out in minuscule, unpredictable doses are over. They were over the second that I decided I deserve more for myself and my life. And they were long long gone the day I knew I’d fallen.

This is sappy and there is a lot about life that isn’t sunshine and roses and while this love is true and real, it’s not like the movies. It’s much calmer. And quieter. It just builds a home.

I just wish I could tell 2020 Celia what was coming. How happy I would be here. How safe. How even though life is hard and unpredictable and bad days come with the good, I’ve got a good rock in myself. And how in turn, I’ve found a really really good rock to lean on :)

What’s annoying to one person is funny to another. Someone will be flattered by the extra attention from someone others would call clingy. The people who are too sensitive in some people’s eyes are admired for being in touch with their emotions by others. What some would consider rude, others consider refreshing. What some people think of as oversharing, other people see as courageous honesty. Someone who’s too quiet in some people’s eyes is considered a good listener by others. What some people consider too personal, other people would love to discuss in depth. What looks like trying too hard to some people is recognized as genuine kindness by others. The point is that there’s no such thing as being universally likeable, so just focus on finding the people who enjoy the qualities you have to offer and don’t worry too much about the rest. I promise you that plenty of people out there will appreciate you for who you are.
