your life will be wonderful because you will make it wonderful, and it will be full of love because you are full of love.

Simone de Beauvoir, from a letter to Jean-Paul Sartre (Paris, Sunday, 10 September 1939)

Unfortunately, the truth is that you’ll probably always feel less loved or seen than you actually are. There are many people out there who decide against admitting their love for you or even uttering a compliment out loud, you only know about a fraction of the adoration that exists for you: there’s what you’ve been told about and there’s what you feel. But there’s also what you don’t even notice. Try to remember that however you’re feeling (lonely or invisible or unwanted) is valid and real, but it isn’t all. The world would be incredibly tiny if what you’re feeling was truly all there was.

My grandma has taught me that, the orange was meant to be shared and split between others in half or in quarters. On a summer's day just to sit on the park bench by your side, eyes closed, it is like you are eating the sun and it floods the gate of my mouth.

I wish I could keep peeling your oranges for you forever to let you know how much love I have stored inside this orange section by section.
