Dark side ⬛️

1. You do not need a reason to cry. 2. Gentle hands cupping your face, pressing a warm mug of cocoa into your chest, and curling around your trembling fingers is the best cure for a broken heart. 3. Tea is not a drink restricted to the months of Winter. 4. Once you have fallen asleep in the arms of somebody you adore, your bed no longer looks inviting – simply empty. 5. Rainy days are not an excuse to stay indoors. 6. Love isn’t as straightforward as Hollywood would have us believe, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth falling. 7. The smallest gesture can change a life. 8. There is nothing more comforting than a good book. 9. If you think the sky looks beautiful: take a photo – it will never look the same again. 10. Never conform simply because you do not fit society’s mould of beauty – wear the clothes that make you feel invincible, and listen to whatever music gets you up on your feet dancing around your room at 9pm on a Wednesday night. 11. Avoid procrastinating: the work has to be completed at some point, and pushing it aside will only cause anxiety and panic. 12. Look up from your phone for a few minutes each day, and appreciate the miracles of nature before they disappear. 13. A smile from a stranger lights up your heart and warms the deepest corners of your tired soul. 14. If you are trusted with a secret, those words are for your ears alone. 15. Love yourself from the moment you wake until the moment you fall asleep – nobody else will be able to love you the same. 16. Clean out your wardrobe every so often; there are hidden treasures in the most unlikely of places. 17. Don’t rush to turn 18 so soon – becoming an adult is not as glamorous as it seems.

This is how you lose her. You lose her when you forget to remember the little things that mean the world to her: the sincerity in a stranger’s voice during a trip to the grocery, the delight of finding something lost or forgotten like a sticker from when she was five, the selflessness of a child giving a part of his meal to another, the scent of new books in the store, the surprise short but honest notes she tucks in her journal and others you could only see if you look closely. You must remember when she forgets. You lose her when you don’t notice that she notices everything about you: your use of the proper punctuation that tells her continuation rather than finality, your silence when you’re about to ask a question but you think anything you’re about to say to her would be silly, your mindless humming when it is too quiet, your handwriting when you sign your name in blank sheets of paper, your muted laughter when you are trying to be polite, and more and more of what you are, which you don’t even know about yourself, because she pays attention. She remembers when you forget. You lose her for every second you make her feel less and less of the beauty that she is. When you make her feel that she is replaceable. She wants to feel cherished. When you make her feel that you are fleeting. She wants you to stay. When you make her feel inadequate. She wants to know that she is enough and she does not need to change for you, nor for anyone else because she is she and she is beautiful, kind and good. You must learn her. You must know the reason why she is silent. You must trace her weakest spots. You must write to her. You must remind her that you are there. You must know how long it takes for her to give up. You must be there to hold her when she is about to. You must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept. And, this is how you keep her.

You miss someone because in essence you’ve given them a piece of yourself or more so created a space and time for them inside your heart. They become part of you. In their absence it’s like losing a part of your body. You feel pain and at times it’s hard to function. Missing someone is painful because you feel like you’ve lost that person but you know where they are. When we say I miss you What we’re really saying is I miss the part of me that is you.
