my peace is more important than your insecurity. leave me be— go work on yourself.
If I won the lottery I wouldn't tell anyone, but there would be signs.
#it’s a raylla thing
There are lights up here in the north
but you see, I'm in LOVE. I'm in love with the way my best friend talks to me at 3 a.m., the way my mom makes my coffee, the way my brother gives me half of his orange. I'm in love with strangers I pass in busy streets and the way the newspaper boy sits on his cycle, the way people hold hands and the way their eyes shine. I'm in love, I'm in love with it all.
