A words for you

The fight to prove yourself to someone
who doesn't deserve you is a losing battle

what is there to achieve when the one
you want
has nothing to give you in return

where is the benefit
in going to war for someone
who'd rather fight against you instead of
beside you

You will always be a lot of things.
Not everyone is going to like you or
understand you.
And in the times it feels like you are on
trial, Try to treat others with good
intentions, Even the ones that don't
deserve it.
Be you, even when it's hard.

You don't get to keep everyone in your life forever
there are some people
that are just meant to be a sunrise for you,
a light to pull you out of the darkness
there are friends, lovers, relationships that are seasonal
and no matter how deep of a conversation
you had with that person at 2 am
no matter how much you shared your heart
even if you can still draw the lines of their smile
like the map of a too familiar road in the back of your mind,
there almost always comes a time
to move on, a time to let go.

Sometimes it's not the butterflies
that tell you you're in love, but
the pain.

remember that sometimes it's ok to
close your eyes and forget the world,
to think for yourself,
breathe deeply,
and do that one thing you've been
putting off for months
and when you are ready to view the
world with new-born eyes,
you will find that the stars still shine,
the waves still crash,
the sun still rises, and
your heart still beats.

Enjoy the little things in
life. One day you'll look
back and
realise how big they were.

there will be days that are filled with so many
miracles, and days where you question every
little moment.
there's nothing wrong with living in the in-
between,
where life is going by day by day...a sense of
calm and a space to collect..
Spend more moments in the in-between so you
can appreciate every day.

Don't break your back for
someone who wouldn't even
bend theirs for you.

Don’t learned the hard way that
you cannot always count on
others to respect your feelings,
even if you respect theirs. Being
a good person doesn't
guarantee that others will be
good to you. You only have
control over yourself and how
you choose to be as a person.
As for others, you can only
choose to accept them or walk
away.

There's always
some truth behind
"just kidding",

knowledge behind
"I don't know",

emotions behind
"I don't care"

and pain behind
"it's okay"

The irony is that when we're standing
across from someone who is hidden or
shielded by masks and armor, we feel
frustrated and disconnected. That's the
paradox here:

“Vulnerability is the last thing I want you
to see in me, but the first thing I look for
in you”.

just because you choose a person
doesn't mean they're right for you

just because you love a person doesn't
mean they're the one for you

so much of what we feel for someone
can be so one-sided and yet we think
that if we give that person more than
they deserve that somehow it'll
change the way they feel about us

we drink the poison our minds pour
for us and wonder
why we feel so sick

do not look for healing at the
feet of those who broke you

Silence is the best answer to someone
who doesn't value your words.

Be careful what you tolerate.
You are teaching people how
to treat you.

Don't waste words on people who
deserve your silence. Sometimes the
most poweful thing you can say is
nothing at all.

She hides all her problems behind a
smile. Behind her smile is a world of
pain and hurt. You think you know
her, but you really have no idea.

You can't go back and change the
beginning, but you can start
where you are and change the
ending.

"You know you really love
someone, when you don't hate
them for breaking your heart."

Some people will only love
you as long as you fit in
their box.

there is a difference between
someone telling you they love
you and them actually loving
you

Sometimes feelings are unstable, and people
don't mean what they say. Sometimes words
just aren't enough, and you lose your way. But
we're still moving even if we feel still. Time
keeps going, the universe keeps existing, and
so should you.

Sadly, the only way some
people will learn to appreciate
you is by losing you.

Time has no agenda. You can meet someone and love
them right away or grow your love over many years.
You could have known someone for eternity and they
still could not understand your core existence, yet the
stranger at the bus stop knows exactly who you are.
Time doesn't mean a thing.

Is that why you play the music so
loud? A beat to drown as the
thoughts, sound so high you
cannot think, lyrics so dose to
home you don't even blink.

Those mistakes you've made along the
way are lessons, not failures.
You were meant to get back up and
find a way that resonates with you.
There is no expiration date to
reinventing yourself.

You have shed a thousand skins to become
the person you are today.

And if you ever feel overwhelmed
by the many people you once were,
remember,
your bones have grown, but what makes
them has never changed.

“ Kill my old self but,
the new me isn’t much
better”

It's not the fear of losing them
that scares us,
it's that we have given them so
many of our pieces
that we fear losing ourselves
when they are gone.

Darling,
you don't have to be seen to be
worthy. you are still whole
without their acknowledgment.
you will still breathe without
their surveillance.

everyone has a chapter
they don't read out loud.

Your patience will be tested. You will get frustrated,
some day will hurt more than others. But you need to
move on from what has already happened, appreciate
the things still around you, and embrace the things
that are yet to come.

She keeps so much inside her,
and then cries over her
flooding thoughts.

-Nikita Gandhi

the truth hurts because we
live in a world so used to
lies.

You'll never know
how truly damaged a person is
until you try to love them.

You gotta understand that some people
never really grow,
never learn their lesson,
never recognise their mistakes,
never acknowledge their faults,
never admit they were in the wrong.
You'll never receive an apology from them, and
you'll never see their behavior change.

don't spend your life trying to fix
people you didn't break.

People hate when you show
them how it feels to be treated
the way they treat you.

"And like the moon, we must go
through phases of emptiness to
feel full again.

Sometimes you need to
stop seeing the good in
people and start seeing
what they show you.

"In a world where everyone
wears a mask, it's a privilege to
see a soul."

The moment that you start
to wonder if you deserve
better, you do.

You’re so used to being mistreated
that anything opposite of what
you're used to, scares you
even if it's what you deserve

Ask for it
Ask for help. You don't have
to do it all alone.

You are enough.
Every morning, every sunrise, every day.

No matter how hard we try,
what's meant to be a lesson can never
end up being love.

Sadness in her eyes yet she smiles
like it's her last time.

Don't be afraid to lose people.
Be afraid of losing yourself by
trying to please everyone
around you.

My darling,
you hold so much sadness in your
eyes, I can almost touch the scars
of your soul and cry.
