You can’t keep choosing someone who doesn’t choose you. You can’t. Because your person is going to be your person for the rest of your life. Not just when you’re young and things are perfect, but when things get messy and when you make mistakes and the world is less shiny. You have to make sure that you have someone by your side that wants to be there. Someone who wants to support you, and encourages you. Someone who gives you as much effort as you give them. Someone who wants to hear you laugh, and make breakfast with you, and listen to all of your dumb jokes for twenty, thirty or even fifty years. Because there’re difficult things in life, really hard and haunted things that make it heal and hurtful at times. But love shouldn’t be one of those things. Love should be your safe place. So please, just don’t give up the best parts of yourself to someone who doesn’t see the value in what they’re receiving. Don’t settle for anyone who doesn’t look at you and know, without hesitation, that they want to stay.

Stay single until it feels easy, simple like breathing. Stay single until you don’t have to constantly remind someone how to be better or how to treat to you right. Stay single until you find someone who knows exactly what you need before you have to ask, someone who understands your love language and will do their best to learn it, who’s willing to make compromises, who wants to make sure you’re both understood and appreciated. Stay single until you find someone who would do anything to make you feel loved and heard.

I’m not who I’ve always been,
The world that lies outstretched before me,
Is not the only one I’ve seen,
I’ve travelled on the tails of comets,
I’ve burned up in the hearts of stars,
I’ve been spat out of supernovas,
That left me scattered near and far,
I have dined in distant galaxies,
And taught the birds to sing,
I’ve danced for a whole lifetime,
Upon Saturn’s dusty rings,
I’ve been there long enough,
To learn what makes the willow weep,
I’ve sung celestial lullabies,
That sent the moon to sleep,
I’ve been both the flowering water,
And the stone that blocks it’s way,
I’ve been frozen, I’ve been molten,
And I’ll be again someday,
Though I’ve been a billion things,
This is the first one that can smile,
I’m pieces of the universe,
Living as human for a while….!

noor
sadness begins to feel
comforting
when happiness begins to feel
unreal
does happiness even exist

Even the most trusted person can lie.
Even the best friends could change.
Even the sweetest person can cheat.
Even the strongest friendship can get ruined.
Even the person you love the most could be gone.
Sad to think, hard to accept but this is the reality.
Treasure what you have and be happy❤️

The very thing that
distinguishes us both is that
I wouldn’t hesitate to
choose you in every
lifetime. But you wouldn’t
even choose me in this one.
And although I gave you
my flesh and bones, I know
I can’t love you into
loving me. So there you are,
overflowing with my love,
And here I am pleading for a
droplet of yours or
whatever I could salvage.
But there must come a time
where you recognise that, to
grieve someone hurts a lot
less than forcing them to be
a part of you. And I know I
should not beg for love, but
just once I wanted someone
to be afraid of losing me.

We hope you enjoy your stay,
And please feel free to be yourself,
As long as it’s in the right way,
Make sure you love your body,
Not too much or we’ll tear you down.
We’ll bully you for smiling,
And then wonder why you frown,
We’ll tell you that you’re worthless,
That you shouldn’t make a sound,
And then cry with all the others,
As you’re buried in the ground,
You can fall in love with anyone,
As long as it’s who we choose.
And we’ll let you have your opinions,
But please shape them to our views,
Welcome to society
We promise that we won’t decieve,
And one more rule now that you’re here,
There’s no way you can leave…..!
