I mourn for all I could’ve been, all of what I will be, and all that I am.

The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human. Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.

never not thinking about this

[poets-wonderland-deactivated202]

“Time, moved so fast, I thought it would last. Now when I think of you, And wonder how you do. Somehow, somethings change, That can’t be rearranged. The memories will do, Those good times shared with you. When I was young, You were the guiding one. You taught me to care, How to love and how to share Recalling all the times, When we said what’s on our minds. And dealt our point on views, As I grew, and you did too And now it last’s, the time has past Your days have come and gone. But, like a great song, The melody will linger. And when it’s played, I’ll remember our day. When I first heard that sweet refrain, Somethings change, somethings change. Somethings change, somethings change.”

If you can pour your heart out, let it be for the right person, because you can never experience the same moment twice. A person who is sure of you will never make you feel that you are taken for granted. There will be a moment of thrill, warmth, understanding, patience and most of all, time. Time which can give you assurance that you are secured and loved, and offer you support through ups and downs. Your heart is your temple, protect it. Never look at your sky only filled with your moon without its stars.

How do you go through sadness?

I live with it but don’t make a home out of it. I make space for it in my bed, we eat dinner together sometimes. we walk at night but it falls asleep before I get home and I forget about it. it comes out in loneliness, it comes out in anger, it comes out in desire for attention; and I remember that something is just hurting and make space for it to hurt. I listen to the birds sing. I pay attention to flowers growing. I let it exist with happiness because sometimes they are together. I make a point to become kinder to myself.

Some people live in cages with bars built from their own fears and doubts. Some people live in cages with bars built from other people’s fears and doubts; their parents, their friends, their brothers and sisters, their families. Some people live in cages with bars built from the choices others made for them, the circumstances other people imposed upon them. And some people break free.

It’s okay to change your yes to a no. Yeses aren’t permanent. They’re something we choose again and again, each and every day. Something we have the right to recall and reconsider as soon as saying yes no longer feels conducive to our wellbeing and happiness. It doesn’t matter whether you said yes to a job, a date, a relationship, sex, a favor to a friend, a social endeavor, or a vow of silence — you don’t ever have to commit to something that forces you to compromise who you are and what feels right; especially if it’s something you agreed to under pressure, intimidation, or force. Changing your yes to a no might make people angry. It might hurt their feelings, cause them to see you as a flake, and result in lost connections. But if saying no means staying true to yourself, honoring your feelings, and making self-care a priority, it’s worth it. You are worth it. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.

The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things in life like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people in life recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation. For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you.

You have the ability to reconstruct yourself over and over again

In this world, there are things you can only do alone, and things you can only do with somebody else. It’s important to combine the two in just the right amount.
