She

Her wild imagination is wandering but she's nowhere to be found.

afraid

We're all afraid. Afraid of love. Be open to anyone. To let someone in. We are afraid of getting hurt, of feeling emotions we cannot control. We are so scared most of the time that we forget to enjoy things. Do not live in fear. Do not live your life being scared of everything. Being afraid is normal, but do not let this stop you from trying things and being happy.

feelings

We hold our feelings back most of the time because we don't want to look too desperate, too eager, or too interested. We hold our feelings back to protect ourselves from being hurt. We don't want to be emotional or unreasonable. We time ourselves when replying to or responding to someone's messages. We set the distance. We build walls. We stayed in silence. We hide our feelings. We hide the truth from everyone, and that is because we are afraid to get hurt. But every time we hold ourselves back, instead of feeling good, we feel alone. Instead of enjoying life, we suffer from holding our feelings back. From staying quiet, from hiding things that are supposed to be said. We have misunderstood.

Remember that it's okay to show how you really feel. Tell someone that you enjoy having them around and that you love them. Telling someone that it's hurting you is okay. It's okay to talk to someone when everything is too much. It's okay to ask for help. There is nothing wrong with vulnerability, with being human. Showing them what you really feel is not something you should be embarrassed about. Being truthful about your feelings is normal. You can be emotional. You can have a weak side. That is totally okay because you are human. You don't need to always hold back on your feelings, especially when they're already too much to handle.

you

There is nothing wrong with showing who you are. There's nothing wrong with being gay, bisexual, lesbian, or whatever you are. There is nothing wrong with being you. Instead of being embarrassed about who you are, be proud of who you are. Being different from the crowd is okay. You don't need to be someone you are not. You don't need to try so hard to be someone or pretend to be someone. You don't need to please everyone around you. You don't need to be the person they would love; instead, be the person that you would love. It doesn't matter if they love you or not. Love and acceptance that are given because of pretending to be another person won't make you genuinely happy and it won't last. The love and acceptance that you have for yourself is the greatest thing you will ever have and need. The love and acceptance that you will receive from other people is just a bonus. Be yourself. Be the person you want to be and not the person they want you to be.

it’s you

Someone can be happy without needing anyone in their life. Happiness is not something you should rely on from someone. It's not surprising that someone can stand and be happy on their own. Happiness and being strong (or being able to stand alone) are not the people around you's responsibilities, but our own responsibilities to ourselves. Your happiness is your responsibility. It is your responsibility to be strong and a complete person. The people around you are just there to guide and support you, but it's you who should make things work for yourself.

worth

I don't need to prove to anyone that I am worth it because I will always be worth it without needing to prove that I am. I don't need their validation or their comments about me because this is me and being me is worth it. I don't need to prove that I deserve things that I do deserve from the start. I won't live by proving to everyone that I am worth it and deserving because I will always be even without any validation from other people.
