You'd be my light.

This is my little corner of the universe where i get to let my mind be free, with no one to say i can't be me.

Risking it all for love once more.

But if I don't, then what IS worth the risk? I'd regret it more if I didn't try.

I'm striving for happiness either way.

It’s funny how you can forget everything except people loving you. Maybe that’s why humans find it so hard getting over love affairs. It’s not the pain they’re getting over, it’s the love.

Paranoia.

Whose fault is it anyway? Mine, or yours? Or both? And- Does it make a difference whose fault it is? Maybe it affects how it can all be fixed. Is it something to be fixed? I'd say it needs to be removed completely. But then, when it goes- What goes with it? Something important? It's possible. No one wants that. So how much do I keep? How do you find the balance When everything is turned- Inside out And Up side down. Everything is ripped apart and scattered Making all un recognizable And Overwhelming. Where do I start to clean up this mess? And will you help? Wasn't it Your fault Anyway?

Let go of the Shame.

Shame is a horrible anchor. The more ashamed you feel, the more it drags you down. You have to let it go.

Realize that, what you're going through, it is because you are human. You are a beautiful person who's lost their way. And there shouldn't be any shame in that, although I know you think there is. You feel like you don't deserve any better, but you do. You deserve the best. Because you only get one life, and it should be filled with love and joy. Let go of the shame. You've heard this before, but you're not alone. We are all dealing with something, and we all feel alone but we're not. If you can just let go of some of that shame, you might start to feel like you. You might realize that your loved ones are supporting you, not judging you.  If you can just let go, maybe you can shine again. 

Your illness/addiction/disorder does not define you. You have let it become a monster because you are trapped in your own mind. Share your pain, release the beast and you'll see it will start to shrink. Attacking it head on scares it away, and you'll see you can come out on top. You are strong. You just need to remind yourself constantly. 

Don't let yourself forget. You were happy. You can be, again.

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

Journey to Love.

How many of us truly love ourselves? And if we don't, and aren't putting great effort towards it now, how long will it be before we do? Do we want to be 50, having to say that we're still working on it? I don't. The journey to true joy is a long and hard one. But even a few steps forward at a time is closer to your goal than just staying in one place. Change is scary, but it can be an amazing thing, if you let it. Let that, and your past, make you better, not bitter. Today is the day. Take that first step. <3

Ahead.

What happens When the lover becomes the fighter? When the protector Becomes the villain- When the person with the answers Becomes the problem? Do you stay, or do you run from them?

You'd think it would be simple- You run, of course. But emotions are a heavy anchor; They keep you tied down. More unyielding than an iron ball and chain. As desperate as you are to run You just don't have the strength After everything he's done.

Hope is as crippling As it is life saving. Do you wait, Because things might get better? Or is there hope in a new life? How long is too long to wait?

When do you leave it all behind, And become your own protector? When do you stop fighting, and begin to love yourself? When do you stop asking questions,

and move ahead?

-When someone has been mean to you, why would you want to be good to them? -You wouldn’t want to. That’s what makes it hard. You do it anyway. Being good is hard. Much harder than being bad.

Love is so painful, how could you ever wish it on anybody? And love is so essential, how could you ever stand in its way?

I really hope I am making the right choice here.

Don't make me regret it.
