the color of low self esteem

miguu:

what i never
learned
from my mother
was that
just because someone desires you
does
not mean they value you.
desire is the kind of thing that
eats you
and
leaves you starving.

Life is too short to waste time on people who don’t lift you up, who don’t inspire you—they’ll eventually drain you.
― Katie Kacvinsky, First Comes Love (via dulcetdecember)
