[I.D: A compilation of posts and quotes about love. From top to bottom:
Tumblr user ‘princes-heels’ says, “Remember that love will always come back to you. In a different form, different person, different touch. But in any way, love will always come back.”
A simple drawing of a person taking their heart from their chest and throwing it away with a smile. This person then receives one heart, then two more, then so many their whole chest is filled.
Tumblr user 'inkskinned’ says, “I want to be so kind it echoes backwards in time and undoes the things that hurt you. I want to be so kind it radiates from me. I want to be so kind that I make someone else find faith in humanity again. There’s not much I can do, I’m small and weak and I only know so many words. But I know I can be kind. And sometimes, I believe, that changes the world.”
Two lines of lyrics from an unnamed song: “Nothing in the world belongs to me; But my love, mine, all mine.”
Tumblr user 'littlespoonsokka’ says, “Oh and btw the love was there and it changed everything. If you even care.”
Tumblr user 'boymiffy’ says, “[tearing at my hair] No love however brief is wasted, no love however brief is wasted, no love however brief is wasted.”
Tumblr user '2aminhouston’ says, “Any love I made you feel is yours to keep.”
A meme image of two skeletons facing each other, their faces nearly touching, edited to say, “Love be like, 'I will end in heartbreak or death.’ My partner in life, you made the pain of existence worthwhile.”
Tumblr user 'theviralwitch’ says, “I think you should tell people how important they are to you not because they could leave at any moment, but because they’re here now, and it’s worth saying.”
Tumblr user 'noodle’ says, “Love is the most important thing ever.” In a reblog to their own post, they add, “Not just romance. Just having love in your heart.”
Tumblr user 'criterioncollectiongirl’ says, “Just so you know everything in the entire universe is always about love and when it isn’t about love it’s about the absence of love. Hope this makes sense.”
Tumblr user 'fatsoupy’ says, “Eye-opening Tumblr post for me included the words, 'People are meant to be burdens,’ as in humans rely on and support one another and it’s not a bother it’s our purpose; to love and be loved in return. So if you’re ever think you’re being annoying just remember we were made to love and it’s going to be okay.”
An image of an unchecked box next to the sentence, “Remember that you can’t save everyone.” Added beneath it is a second box, this one checked, reading, “Remember that you have to try.”
Tumblr user 'mjalti’ says, “You think you’re waiting for love to find you when it reality it has saved you in a thousand different ways since the sun rose today.”
A quotation reading, “What I regret most in my life are failures of kindness. Those moments when another human being was there, in front of me, suffering and I responded… sensibly. Reservedly. Mildly.”
Tumblr user 'jb-blunk’ says, “In this terrifying world you continuously have the power to offer someone else a little relief. Why would you withhold that. Do you remember what a little relief feels like? It feels like a lot.”
Tumblr user 'ponchopeligroso’ says, “Every single person you know has something in their life and past that is probably worth collapsing to the ground in an uncontrollably sobbing heap over, so be nice to each other and tell good jokes.”
Tumblr user 'headspace-hotel’ says, “The theme that always resonates me the most in stories is, 'The world is cruel; therefore I won’t be.’”
Two lines of text in quotation marks - possibly dialogue, possibly quotes - which read: “I’m useless alone.” and, “We are all useless alone. It’s a good thing you’re not alone.”
Tumblr user 'cheruib’ says, “Why is it SO incredibly sweet when a stranger smiles at you like. I don’t know you but here’s a piece of happiness in this crazy world. I’m giving you this smile because it’s all I have to offer, and I want to offer you something. You’ll forget my face, probably, but you’ll remember this, at least for the rest of your day, or the afternoon, or your lunch break. Hope you had a good day. Hope the rest of it is better.”
A picture of a slip of paper on which is written, “To love and win is the best thing; to love and lose the next best. Lucky numbers: 2, 42, 54, 30, 56, 44.” Below it is another slip of paper, on which is written the title, “Urgent”, and then two Chinese characters, with their pinyin - “jí” and shì" - next to them.
A set of tags from an unnamed user, reading, “#Maybe the nature of humanity is that we think being cool and lonely will gain us love. But the paradox is that love is attained through #embarrassing yourself by asking for it instead.”
Tumblr user 'tordenvejr’ says, “Vulnerability is clumsy but it’s the only thing worth anything.” / End I.D.]
