i think a lot about how it is such a common experience to withstand our deepest pains and sorrows on our own and never even shed a tear, then, the moment someone offers us comfort, we break down completely

sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you’ve been ruined

by ocean vuong

it surprises me, how a gesture so small can feel so very big. how sometimes you don’t realize the nervousness or sadness you were holding deep inside until the touch of someone you love lets it all out of you, like your entire body is exhaling
