Being loved openly builds the most uniquely beautiful connections. At the end of the day, nothing is more attractive than someone who stands firmly in front of you and chooses you. At the end of the day, nothing is more comforting than the kind of love that grows from certainty and conviction — no games, just presence.

When you look at a loved one, a stranger, try to look at their soul. Look into who they are underneath the trauma, the protective shells, the walls. look past who they have turned into because of the mortal burdens they had to carry. See how perfect they are as God made them.

Perhaps,

Her silence is a sign of maturity too. Speaking up and being loud may equal to being mature, and so does keeping it silent.

She might lose words to talk, communicate and provide solutions. She doesn't know what else to do thus being silent and staying away is the best answer for all.

Her silence is the closure you seek for.

random thoughts — what if writing is not my niche anymore? 🥲

“I’ve seen the way he looks at you.”

“How does he look at me?”


“Like he never wants to look away.”

“I lied,” he whispered against my ear. “I have read your books.”

His hands tightened on my waist and he spun me away from the car, opened the door, and got in, leaving me gasping at the sudden cold of the parking lot.

You can teach someone how you receive love but you can’t teach a soul how to care. You have to see someone, truly regard them to extend your heart to reach them. You have to respect their presence in your life & consider them as a part of yours. That is how you care for someone.

To do well, for us.

Are you still allowing your wounded inner child to pick your romantic partners?

If it drains you, it's not for you. Always remember that.

“Do you have any questions?”

Only about a million. What if I can’t do this? What if I’m not strong enough? How did I get here, with this face and your eyes looking through me and your hands wiping on your pants like I’m contagious?

I shake my head. Nope. No questions. At least, none of you can answer.

If happiness is your goal, you'll be depressed forever.

Truth is regardless of what you feel; sad, happy, angry & etc, the work must be done, the responsibility must be carried.

The fact you're still breathing at this moment proves that there's always a blessing to count on.

God answered my prayers, sometimes in ways I don't understand until I reflected.

The more you heal, the less you see disagreement as an attack. Everyone is unique and gains experience and insights from their journey. Also, as you grow, you will disagree with previous versions of yourself. Respect yourself and others, agree to disagree, and adjust accordingly.

Understanding our childhood doesn't mean we're blaming our parents. There is a difference between blame and awareness. When someone goes into blame, there's usually a lot of underlying shame.

to hate
is an easy lazy thing
but to love
takes strength
everyone has
but not all are
willing to practice.
