Nayyirah Waheed said this quote

Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.

~ Nayyirah Waheed

If someone does not want me it is not the end of the world. But if I do not want me, the world is nothing but endings.

~ Nayyirah Waheed

Desire is the kind of thing thateats youandleaves you starving.

~ Nayyirah Waheed

never trust anyone who says they do not see color. this means to them,you are invisible.
