"No one talks about functional loneliness. The kind where you're present but not felt. You go to work, you reply on time, you smile when you're supposed to. And yet you feel like no one truly knows you. Not fully. Not deeply. You're surrounded but not held. You're visible but not known. And the worst part is you have gotten so good at surviving like this that you don't even know how to ask for more without feeling like a burden. So you keep moving. And the ache just becomes part of the background noise you live with." Sourced: Instagram - @growfemalemotivation

Be gentle with the ones who take photos of everything. To some, it might seem they aren't living in the moment. But usually these people have experienced so much loss and are deeply sentimental. They don't want to ever forget. They never want to overlook moments in the future, knowing their memory will eventually betray them. They have a huge heart. They are nostalgic. They cherish memories. They cherish people. These are the ones you want to hold dear. They appreciate everything, even the smallest of gestures. These souls will never make you feel like you don't matter. - Samira Vivette
