So...
lovelives:
I am starting to believe that I am dumb to think I can have a fairy tale romance.

Where our love stands through everything.
Oh well… There went that dream.

Unless I love you.

On to the next one?
See, I was never out for a “next” one anyways.
I’m too focused on getting MY self together.

OH EM GEE.

I don't know why...
but I really love seeing a thugged out, hard-looking black man, and then seeing his face brighten up in a smile as he’s holding his babygirl.
That’s so cute.

I have that stupid, annoying, anxious, ball of knots and excitement, hope, and nervousness in my stomach every time my blackberry vibrates.

I’ve been thinking about death a lot lately. No, I’m not suicidal. I just keep having visions of the people I love dying, sometimes me dying to save them.
And the lately...

MmmMm love
provimi:
everyone on tumblr seems to be talking about love. i have only one thought: no one will ever hurt me enough, break me enough, make me cry enough, lose my trust enough, kick me down enough, treat me like shit enough to make me not believe in love (i dont mean staying with them, i mean loving someone else). i could never be one of those people that swears off love or trusting or men. i...
