“You are not your failures.”

You are not your failures or rejections. You are not the boy who couldn’t love you, the job you couldn’t get, the school who wait-listed you.

I’ve come to find when you don’t forgive; you rot.

If a soulmate is someone you can sit in silence with, knows you better than you know yourself, and brings out the truest “you” there is, well, then I have found my soulmate in my closet girlfriends.

It’s a slow, painful death of a relationship, and the worst way to go.
