My name is Jackie. I'm a mother, a daughter, a friend, a mentor. I love fashion on the cheap, but it's got to have attitude and it's got to be something I can feel comfortable in. I've become hardened by life, but I've still got my soul. New York City is my second home. I don't put up with bullshit. Kissing on the lips is my favorite thing in the entire universe. I'll fall in love with you the second we meet, but I don't believe in fate. There is more to me than this life, and I will find the missing pieces. Just give it time.

Do you remember how it felt that night
Knowing then and there was where we’d start to grow?
You see, I just needed you to know.
Mae, I Just Needed You to Know

Quote reblogged from roman candles. with 7,393 notes

I am not the first person you loved.
You are not the first person I looked at
with a mouthful of forevers. We
have both known loss like the sharp edge
of a knife. We have both lived with lips
more scar tissue than skin. Our love came
unannounced in the middle of the night.
Our love came when we’d given up
on asking love to come. I think
that has to be part
of its miracle.

This is how we heal.
I will kiss you like forgiveness. You
will hold me like I’m hope. Our arms
will bandage and we will press promises
between us like flowers in a book.
I will write sonnets to the salt of sweat
on your skin. I will write novels to the scar
on your nose. I will write a dictionary
of all the words I have used trying
to describe the way it feels to have finally,
finally found you.

And I will not be afraid
of your scars.

I know sometimes
it’s still hard to let me see you
in all your cracked perfection,
but please know:
whether it’s the days you burn
more brilliant than the sun
or the nights you collapse into my lap
your body broken into a thousand questions,
you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
I will love you when you are a still day.
I will love you when you are a hurricane.

SOME THINGS (change).

- I want to get into using gemstones and crystals in conjunction with meditation. 

- I need to be kinder to myself.

- My dreams have been bizarre/vivid the past few nights. Lots of symbolism. Mostly telling me that I am stressing the fuck out emotionally, which is absolutely true.

- I want a dog. Real bad.

- I love my family more than anything. My two loves are the most important people to me.<3

Have you ever considered

That your utter lack of self-worth, self-respect, and self-love might have something to do with all of your “failures”?

When you say you are “nothing”, you become nothing.

When you profess yourself as a “failure”, then so you are.

I’m not sure why this hasn’t been spoken of before, or if it has, why this concept has been given no thought.

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”

The truest statement in the world.

Love yourself, respect yourself. No one will unless you do first.

You make me feel like singing
But I’ve got better use for my tongue
‘Cause even when I kiss you,
I can still hum.

It’s one of those days where

all I want to do is sing/shout or possibly even make my Facebook status that Brand New lyric:

THEY’RE JUST JEALOUS ‘CAUSE WE’RE YOUNG AND IN LOVE

like 19 year old Jackie would because I’m so goddamn happy.

<33333333333

(^ 19 yr old Jackie would put that after it, too)

You took the time to memorize me
My fears, my hopes and dreams
I just like hanging out with you
All the time

All those times that you didn’t leave
It’s been occurring to me:
I’d like to hang out with you
For my whole life

Stay,
And I’ll be lovin’ you
For quite some time.

T. Swift, Stay Stay Stay

Last night I was given

some really good insight on pretty much the only insecurity I have in my relationship and I have to say, I feel better.

I won’t allow myself to feel threatened by someone who feels the need to attempt risking another person’s happiness for their own selfish gain. It’s not going to work, and I know that.

I won’t give this situation attention anymore because it’s not worth my time. Little girls will  be little girls, and there’s nothing I can do but keep doin’ mah thang. And I’m okay with that. 

Our love is stronger than any volume of jealousy imaginable. Can’t you see? We’ve already won.
