It took me a while to realise that not everything in life is meant to be a beautiful story. Not every person we feel something deep with is meant to make a home within us. Not every person we want to spend our whole lives with is meant to be a forever. Sometimes, people come into our lives to teach us how to love; and sometimes they come to teach us how not to love, how not to settle, how not to shrink ourselves ever again. yes, sometimes people leave-but that's okay, because their lessons always stay, and that is what matters. That is what remains. It's harsh to say, but sometimes we need to accept the reality and move on for good.

trust your heart enough to walk away where it does not belong anymore. you belong where your efforts are appreciated. you belong where your soul is understood. you deserve to feel at peace. be where you can be the best version of you.

i was desired. but never loved. i was a choice. but never chosen. i was a maybe. but never the one.

Most people aren't worth your time. But you're a lover. A believer. Someone who naturally cares. It's in your blood. In your soul. Looking for a way out. For a way to touch other people's lives. To try to save them. No matter how they treat you. You care too much. Love too much. Feel too much. And that's okay. But that's how you end up getting hurt. That's how you end up disappointed. But that's you. & one day, it'll all make sense. One day, you'll understand why you are the way you are.

pain romanticized is still pain. it doesn't hurt any less. not all scars are beautiful. not all wounds heal. sometimes when you are left with no choice, you move, you crawl, you scream, but you don't turn around. you do not have to be the one who stays back in the empty house. you might as well be the one who burns it to ashes & never look back.

at this point it shouldn't matter who is against you and who is with you, you've already wasted enough time building permanent places in your heart for temporary people, call it being choosy but pls don't allow negative & selfish people to let in, you only allow genuineness and authenticity

I don't remember falling in love with you. I just remember holding your hand realising how much it would hurt when I have to let it go.

The day you find yourself, you will realise that lovers are not meant to take you on a journey but walk alongside you, they're not meant to fulfil you but appreciate how complete you are in yourself. Lovers are not meant to break your heart each day, and they're not meant to make you feel unworthy or unloved. The day you find yourself, you will realise how incredibly magnificent you are imperfect, yes, but - filled with so much goodness and light that you will strive to be even better each day. The day you find yourself will be the most beautiful day, because after that, you will never accept less than what you deserve.
