For my friend - all the things I don't know how to tell you when we meet. For the friends whose struggle I know about and can't help with, for those whose struggle I've never realized. For the people I've known in the past, and those I'll meet, someday. This is an open letter to a friend, and to everyone else. This is the things I've learned along the way, thanks to many people. This is how I've learned to love myself. This is my prayer that you get better. This is for you.

"You only live once." This is the overly used excuse that we use every time we make a decision and that's fine because it's true. This also goes with 'Love'. For once in our lives, we would eventually experience this love - the kind of love that just can't die. A love, though not being returned, we are still willing to take the risk. We expect that somehow, someday we will be rewarded. But how long can we give that love a chance? Are we really capable of giving so much without asking anything in return? Are we really capable of being happy, just seeing the person we love happy with someone else? How can we untangle something so twisted like LOVE? How can we survive without breaking? How can we live without hating? Brace yourself for it will be a long roller coaster ride to what we call 'HAPPINESS' - D A L E (myLovelymind) Cover by: @ShebaHanna 🎉
