I love being horribly straightforward

I love being horribly straightforward. I love telling people I love them and telling people they are absolutely magical humans and I cannot believe they really exist. I live my life as straightforward as possible. Because one day, I might get hit by a bus. Maybe it’s weird. Maybe it’s scary. Maybe it seems downright impossible to just let people know you want them, need them. But there is nothing more beautiful than being desperate. And there is nothing more risky than pretending not to care. We are young and we are human and we are beautiful and we are not as in control as we think we are. We never know who needs us back. We never know when the bus is coming.
