“Blowing out someone else’s candle doesn’t make yours shine any brighter.”

Why do certain memories knock on the door when it’s the quietest?

“You have to meet people where they are, and sometimes you have to leave them there.”

“I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.”

The story they have created about you reveals a lot about... them. Be at peace.

Dr. Thema Bryant

I used to think I was too emotional. Now I realize I was just deeply alive in a numb world.

I’ve learned to stop begging for closeness. If they wanted to, they would.

“If. The only word that is a thousand letters long.”

— Stephen King

I stopped expecting apologies. Some people don’t feel the damage they cause.

I hate how easily I make myself small to make others comfortable!

No one warns you that sometimes peace feels unfamiliar. Like you’re waiting for the chaos to come back.

I’m constantly torn between ‘it is what it is’ and ‘it shouldn’t be like this.

I don’t want to disappear. I just want to be missed enough to know I mattered.

Funny how easily people replace you.

How fast someone who once swore they’d never leave can start acting like you never existed.

But I don’t chase anymore.

If you can let go of me that quickly, I was never held properly to begin with.

I stopped explaining myself when I realized people only listen to respond, not to understand.

I’ve been tired since 2019.

Like… soul-level tired.

But I still show up.

Smile. Text back. Do the work.

And crash alone later.
