Scribbling little pieces of myself

[fromemwithlove]

'Speak now or forever hold your peace,' the words said by preachers at the end of wedding ceremonies all over the world, right before the vows. It's a last chance to speak, a moment that makes everyone's heart race. But let's be honest in real life we don't have those chances. In real life, saying the right thing at the right moment is beyond crucial. So crucial, in fact, the most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Lately what I've begun to fear more than that is letting the moment pass without saying anything.I think most of us fear reaching the end of our life, and looking back regretting the moments we didn't speak up. When we didn't stand up for ourselves or someone who needed help. I think the words you stop yourself from saying are the ones that will haunt you the longest. And sometimes these are the ones that would have meant the most...

I should have asked you to stay, instead of throwing my feelings away.

Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.

Cupid,

close my heart and throw away the key. I'm so tired of this sick game.

I wish I had the right courage to say what my mind doesn't want to admit.

Not everyone knows what they really want.

I thought about you today, it brought a tear to my eye. Still not understanding why.

The beginning of this strange year had seemed so beautiful and harmless, even nice, with those round figures. For some it would have been the year of diploma, of the driving license, of Erasmus, of the adventure expected for a lifetime. But it went as it went. For some things there is still time, and for others not anymore. Everyone has their own story, their own version of this pandemic. A personal page in the tragedy. There are those who have been luckier, and others less. Who has lost the job of a lifetime, and who has reached the peak of their career. Some have stopped without knowing how or when they will be able to restart again. Others, on the other hand, never stopped. We redesigned the borders with the walls of the rooms. But, of course, staying indoors was the least of all evils. We had more time, more hours to make sense of. We allowed ourselves to slow down, in a tomorrow that was identical to the present. We will spend a different Christmas, it's true, and we will make it go well. After all, it has been an exercise that lasted 12 months: to get the best out of things.

May all your wishes come true,

Merry Xmas everyone🥂🥂

I don't know what exactly you left me, but I know that what I miss from me you carried it away.

We spend time counting painful scars, but more often we forget those of happiness.

There is no sunset that doesn't remind me of you

We are our choices and our fears. The stairs we choose to climb, and those we decide to abandon. The steps we leave behind, the glances we meet, the smiles we give away. We are the words, the phrases we can't say, the only ones that would really be worth talking about.

I was just a number on your list.

The man who dwells on the regret of a sunset is turning his back at the beginning of a new dawn.

Each person who passes through our life leaves us a legacy. Whether it's for a minute or a lifetime, something remains. It doesn't matter whether they have understood or disappointed us; whether it was a certain smile in the queue or a dedicated speech from a stage. People mark us, we mark them...
