my favorite love language is trying, actually

[suntara]

like when people try to learn your hobbies or try to play the same sports that you play in an effort to get closer to you, people who try to love you the way you love people, people who will go to places you want to visit just for your sake, people remembering, putting in an effort. just. trying

I appreciate the person who understands the value of putting in effort.

There is life after depression. It’s a constant challenge to stay afloat, but I’d rather fight just for a chance to see the sun, than be stuck indefinitely in the shadows.

To be free and loved unconditionally by someone who you love unconditionally and allow to be free must be an amazing thing. And by free I don’t mean a pass to go fuck around and do what you like. Freedom doesn’t mean dishonest. No, I mean free as in, there are no limitations and no restrictions, when it comes to your character, dreams and passions. Do you, I’ll do me, let’s support each other and be free.

CHANNEL WHAT YOU'VE LOST

This afternoon, I spent hours looking for a draft I wrote a long time ago. I searched in all of my journals, my notes app, my emails, my school folders... nothing. I spent the rest of the day in a mild obsession, and attributed the time to digging through anything that might have been even a fragment of what I was looking for.

Now, the time is 11:25 pm. I still haven't found the writing. However, I've found so many pieces that I'm going to utilize and shape into something grand. Spending so much time working on this has shown me that I've actually written more material than I thought, and I'm able to piece together other writings that I'd entirely forgotten about. While being gracious with myself, I started writing what I can remember, and added really beautiful pieces from the other drafts.

In the end: I actually don't know if I even wrote down the thing that I thought I did. But what I've gained is writing something that I'm proud of, and that is more compatible and intentional than before.

And again you crossed my mind. I missed you a little today. I wish I could tell you about my day again. I wish I could share everything with you like before.

Do you miss me?

Do I cross your mind? I hope I do.

We don't talk anymore. I don't ask how you are because you wanted me to stay away; it hurts, but I know it's for the best. If this message reaches you, I hope you're okay and happy with your life and happy with someone you're able to love. A small part of me still wishes that someone was me, but I know we can't be anymore. There's no more us, and I need to accept that.

Take care. I will always love you even if our paths never cross again. A piece of you will always stay with me. I will cherish the memories even as I learn to let go. No matter where life takes us. I hope you find all the happiness and love you deserve, and if one day you ever think of me too, know that I'm wishing you well from afar.
