losing yourself while trying to love someone is so dangerous.
you remember being so healthy and vibrant before love showed itself at your front door. you let him in your home wondering if you should trust him. now there's regret because you're weak. you've given up so much for love. you've emptied your cup while pouring your all into love's cup. what happens when his cup overflows? what happens when your glass is empty and you're thirsty?
you remember dreaming to fly and now your wings are broken. see, that's what love does. it tells you to leap when you aren't ready yet. love sometimes tells you to swim when you can't backstroke. at times, love can be venom. toxic. you tell yourself repeatedly that you'll die for a person. but what happen when that day comes? do you really wanna die for love? is this what love does to people?
never let love enter your home without protection. one must have themselves if they desire to have others. self love. self love should never decay when the idea of being in love exists. you come first. your wings are never to break because of love. if love stops you from flying, then let love fly.
we all wanna be worth something to someone. however, never should we rely on others to remind us of our worth. rely on your own speech. speak to you. trust me, you are valued more when the love you have for yourself is blooming. the person we love should never allow the love we have for ourselves decay. you and i are to be reminded that our existence matters. your presence is a blessing.
taking a step back from love is key. self-evaluation. ask yourself. should i be doing this? would i do this if it wasn't for love? what will this do to me? there's certain moments in love where we must remind ourselves who we are and what we are worth. love shouldn't make us forget what we deserve. you and i don't owe anything to anyone. not even for love.
take that leap on your own terms. not love's terms. spread your wings and fly.
