naive melodies: Archive

I don’t believe that love heals.

I believe that it does many things for people. Gives them a sense of worth. Makes them able to take risks. But it does not heal.

I do believe in risks.

I also believe in bravery.

I believe in the merit of being open to being weak and vulnerable.

I believe in authenticity.

I believe we should hope for a better future. And do our damnedest to protect the present.

These are things I know and hope to be true.

But I don’t think that love heals.
