“You own your life, your life doesn’t own you”

[reflectirx-deactivated20240613]

lonely.

i wonder how many people lay in bed  and think about their loneliness the void in their hearts not because they’re incomplete but because of the people that surround them the lack of understanding they fake interest they don’t understand our passions what we love, what makes us cry but maybe they’re in the exact same position we’re just afraid to expose ourselves.

Find balance in your life. Work hard but don’t let work take over your life, you will lose yourself. Love, but love for the right reasons. Life is too short for anything mediocre. Know who you are and know that you are worthy of reaching your dreams and that it is never too late to start creating that life you have always dreamed of. Do not compare yourself to others, that’s just deadly. No two souls are the same. You are your own person, you are beautiful and you are unique. Put your trust in the universe. Some things are just meant to happen, and some are not. Let go of whatever is stealing your happiness, it’s hard but it is worth it. Embrace change. Embrace life. Everything happens for a reason, sometimes you just need to breathe, trust and let go.

Charlotte Freeman (via wordsnquotes)

I miss you. But I like missing you so hard because it makes me feel strongly that you are not a dream, you are real, you are living, and I’ll meet you again.

“Ci sono le Donne. E poi ci sono le Donne Donne. E quelle non devi provare a capirle, sarebbe una battaglia persa in partenza. Le devi prendere e basta. Devi prenderle e baciarle, e non dare loro il tempo di pensare. Devi spazzare via, con un abbraccio che toglie il fiato, quelle paure che ti sapranno confidare una volta sola, una soltanto, a bassa, bassissima voce. Perché si vergognano delle proprie debolezze e, dopo avertele raccontate, si tormenteranno - in un’agonia lenta e silenziosa - al pensiero che, scoprendo il fianco, e mostrandosi umane e fragili e bisognose per un piccolo attimo, vedranno le tue spalle voltarsi ed tuoi passi allontanarsi. Perciò prendile e amale. Amale vestite, che a spogliarsi son brave tutte. Amale indifese e senza trucco, perché non sai quanto gli occhi di una donna possano trovare scudo dietro un velo di mascara. Amale addormentate, un po’ ammaccate quando il sonno le stropiccia. Amale sapendo che non ne hanno bisogno: sanno bastare a sé stesse. Ma, appunto per questo, sapranno amare te come nessuna prima di loro.”

— Alda Merini
