always been the dreamer.

25. BWN. My words are fathomed from the thoughts I have brewed internally, over broken hearts, sadness and musings.

the woman you’re becoming will cost you people, relationships, spaces, and material things. choose her over everything.

‘i’m happy on my own,’ you defiantly told me, but i saw the way you glanced at that couple in the park. is that one-bedroom apartment starting to feel too quiet, too empty, too big for your aching heart? now you will drown yourself in projects at work, hiding away from the loneliness that creeps into your bones when there is nothing left to distract your senses. you tell yourself you’re content by being immersed in the life you chose, but how worthwhile is it when there is no one to share it with?

suddenly the days scale the years here is your heart walking you are tired holding yourself up at your side the birds bid farewell to the absent season

“Sensitive people are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There is nothing they won’t tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. However, the moment you betray them, reject them or devalue them, they become the worse type of person. Unfortunately, they end up hurting themselves in the long run. They don’t want to hurt other people. It is against their very nature. They want to make amends and undo the wrong they did. Their life is a wave of highs and lows. They live with guilt and constant pain over unresolved situations and misunderstandings. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred or being hated. This type of person needs the most love anyone can give them because their soul has been constantly bruised by others. However, despite the tragedy of what they have to go through in life, they remain the most compassionate people worth knowing, and the ones that often become activists for the broken hearted, forgotten and the misunderstood. They are angels with broken wings that only fly when loved.”
