"I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together."

-Lisa Kleypas

There is a silent cry that only I can hear,

The silent cry that you’ve been hiding for a while.

You can show your tears that you’ve been quietly hiding to me.

Can I listen to your familiar self-talk too?

Don’t be the only one hurting,

Give me your silent cry.

Do not blame yourself for something you cannot control.

forgive yourself. forgive yourself for not being where you dreamed you would be. forgive yourself for all the wrong things you said. forgive yourself for the times you messed up even when you’ve tried your best. forgive yourself for the way you hurt, belittle, or abandon yourself in the past or in the present. forgive yourself for not being perfect. you don’t have to be perfect to be worthy (of love, understanding, compassion, kindness).

This is your reminder that even if you struggle with your self-esteem and self-love, it will get better. There is still time. It is never too late, my love. I see how hard you have been trying to accept yourself, to embrace your flaws and I am so proud of you for that. Just because you feel the darkness again, does not mean your efforts were not worth it. With every time that you try again, you choose yourself. And there is so much beauty and so much strength in that. I promise you, it will get better. For now, just keep trying. I love you.

feeling validated, heard, seen, and acknowledged in a friendship is so important. it’s the most beautiful feeling i think. being able to tell someone the most private feelings, exposing yourself at the most vulnerable, and being met with empathy, understanding, and confirmation that you’re not just being whiny, spoiled, ungrateful, or any of the other self-deprecating things you tell yourself you are when you’re breaking down. to have someone bring you back to reality when you’re busy minimising your struggles, yeah, that’s really beautiful and it’s truthful. someone who sees you where you are exactly as you are, not better or worse. just you. that’s so important in a friendship. definitely the most beautiful feeling.

Always choose to be kind.
