Show me... teach me.... how you want to be loved. And I'll do it right this time.

She'll never know how many reels I saved thinking about her.

I can't make you understand.

I can't make anyone understand, What is happening inside me.

I can't explain it to myself.

[iaamravi]

“Bahut majboor hokar main teri aankhon se nikla, Khushi se kaun apne ghar se bahar jaata hai.”

“Gale milna ya na milna marzi hai teri, Lekin tere chehre se lagta hai tera dil kar raha hai.”

[iaamravi]

May this year treat your heart gently, return your strength in quiet ways, heal what last year couldn't hold, and remind you that surviving was already a victor.

[iaamravi]

You just have to find yourself.

Everything else is on Google.

One month left before 2025 ends, and I want to thank the people who introduced me to the new ways of living. Who made me comfortable in their presence, and who helped me forget my own bottles for a while.

They say if something occupies your mind, you can write it out, and the thought will leave. So I did. And I wrote about you, and I wrote about you, and I wrote about you, and I wrote about you, and I wrote about you- and still, I write about you.

Perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you can run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die.

The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they are doing it.
