18. dream girl in her dream world

[shootingstarshine]

i often miss that little girl whose dreams had no barriers. who believed in a world where anything is possible with a heart that was full and unbroken.

“I hope you fall in love with someone who never lets you fall asleep thinking you’re unwanted.”

in my dreams i run to you

[thatpinkkwitch]

i just heard the phrase “if you wouldn’t trust their advice, don’t trust their criticism” for the first time and i don’t think i’ve ever needed to hear anything more

[dhia-dreaming]

And once I was told "if you don't agree with their actions, why do you seek their approval"

[shootingstarshine]

if you love something, love it completely, cherish it, say it, but most importantly show it. life is finite and fragile, and just because something is there one day, it might not be, the next.

never take that for granted.

[shootingstarshine]

i'll forever be the person who says "it's okay, i understand"

[seaphine]

I can’t afford another bond with the wrong soul.

[zexox]

there was a version of me who begged to be chosen. she rests now.

[seaphine]

sorry i didn't text you back, i replied to the message in my head and simply assumed the telepathy worked.

[seaphine]

they injected me with mental illness when i was a baby because they didn't like that i radiated moonlight and had stars inside my eyes. they were jealous of me.

[seaphine]

If it is meant for you, it will cross oceans, distances, and doubts to reach you.

[tragicburnout]

it's all fun & games until i'm unreachable, unavailable and uninterested

[gr4ndtheftcanoe]

i don't want to be 'easier to love' i just want someone to think loving me is worth it

[shootingstarshine]

you are my blue crayon. the one i never have enough. the one i use to colour my sky.

[8nin]

do you think of me when it gets quiet?

[shootingstarshine]

the bird.

the bird soared so high up and up gliding across the blue sky

nothing could ever tear down or hold her back she wore freedom as a crown

she traced the sky with hopes and dreams she could not be tied back with ropes.

her voice was her strength she spoke out loud her songs was all her wealth.

she hoped for another day when her rights 'would have a greater meaning', she would say.

I never really felt like I belonged. Not truly. Not with my family, not with my friends, not even with acquaintances. Yeah, there were moments, times I had real friends, people who saw me. But then life happened, my father's postings, their own shifting paths, and we drifted. Slowly, silently. And I was left behind.

I've never truly known that feeling of belonging, not in shared laughter, not in teasing jokes, not in loud, chaotic fights. I was just… there. Smiling like I meant it, sitting quietly, wondering how long before I'd be alone again.

It's in the way I always came last on the priority list. The way I was left out of cousin hangouts. The way my interests were laughed at, not leaned into. Maybe because they were all boys, and I was just the girl, the odd one out. A burden, maybe. So why bother taking me along?

And so I sat, again, with people twice my age, absorbing their critiques like bruises: how wrong I was, how short I was, how incapable I seemed to be. And it never ended. "You're always on your phone," they said. But no one asked why.

Why I was always the one left out.

Why I was trying so hard to hide my tears.

Why my hands kept shaking.

Why I dug my fingernails into my skin just to hold it all together.

They never looked beyond the surface. Never saw the quiet battles. Never really saw me.

All they saw was someone who wasn't enough. No one ever stayed long enough to see who I truly was.
