“If they wanted to they would”

No—

It’s a “slow burn relationship”

Everything is fine

But—

“If you’re not theirs in 3 months you never will be”

However—

“Good things take time, don’t rush it”

And—

“If you want it you have to fight for it”

Yet—

“Don’t chase anyone”

I know how I feel but what am I suppose to do?

If I do one thing I ‘lack self worth’

But another I’m ‘clingy’ and ‘going to quick’

Left, right, up, down

What’s true?

What’s not?

These days nobody know what we are suppose to do

[da-lahr]

Every time I think of you my thoughts jump around from place to place

Unable to focus on just one thing

I adore you

I hate you

No I don’t hate you

But some days I really wish I did

My thoughts have become a rollercoaster named after you

The kind of rollercoaster you are willing to wait a long time in line for

Just to experience for 5 minutes

I’m scared

I’m excited

I think I might throw up

But with one tight embrace of the lap bar I remind myself

I am safe

You’re there to keep me from spiraling out of control

Just enough to keep me on track to enjoy the ride

[da-lahr]

With you

I feel safe

The sensation of peace that calms my anxious being disappears the moment I am with you

I spent years building this wall brick by brick

Then one day you appeared and so did a door in the shape of you

You didn’t demolish the wall I spent so long building

Instead you have taken the time to slowly deconstruct it one brick at a time

By not only do I feel safe physically,

But mentally and emotionally

I feel safe around you

But not only that,

I feel heard

And my god it has been years since I have felt my voice be heard

[da-lahr]

When I am with you

A sense of peace overflows me

My anxious mind is at ease

The comfort I feel around you is beyond anything I’ve ever felt

My racing heart slows

I can finally breathe

Because everytime I’m with you

I feel seen

I feel understood

I feel loved

But most of all

I feel safe

[quotemadness]

I’m never ashamed of my words. My words are me and how I feel. If that’s a crime, then they should not have given me a mind and heart.

“Never underestimate the power of a small act of kindness. A selfless gesture, a moment of reassurance, even the warmth of a single smile, can be enough to save a person. After all, even in the deepest darkness, all it takes is a little light to illumine the way forward.”

“I’m thinking that it might actually be possible for things to work out sometimes. Definitely not everything and maybe not the way you imagined. But sometimes, when you least expected it, life surprises you.”
