“Is that all you want to be? Liked? Wouldn’t you rather be passionately and voraciously desired?”

— Margaret Atwood, from “Bodily Harm,” (via violentwavesofemotion)

poetic:

People are in such a rush to fall in love. We base our relationships off a physical connection rather than an emotional one. We force ourselves to like someone so we won’t be alone. We settle for those that don’t quite satisfy our wants and needs. Stop looking for love, let it find you. The best things in life are worth waiting for and love is definitely one of them. Sometimes it happens over night and sometimes it takes years but you have to have patience. Learn to love yourself so that you don’t feel like you need to be loved by someone else in order to feel complete.
