❝ to be human is to be filled with emotions. let yourself free. allow yourself this necessity. instead of pushing the anger away or cowering from the envy, accept it as a part of your being. instead of telling yourself this is not who you are, give room to the negative emotions and let them pass by in a tide. we're a mix of good and bad both and sometimes, it takes experience to know. there's balance in everything. day and night. sun and rain. sky and ground. highs and lows. rise and fall. submit yourself to nature's dispense and watch yourself grow. ❞

hi, been back from hiatus for a few days !!  I’m starting to repost all of the chapters of dear simon because yes I’m still in love w my baby boys  <3  thanks for being there/coming back !

❝ one thing i have learnt this year is to live and live in the moment. life is tough, life is overwhelming and life is a struggle. a struggle to hold on. a constant battle of choosing between what it is and what it should be. this year, you found yourself in situations you never could've possibly imagined yourself to be in. you looked for yourself in everywhere you went and everyone you met. you thrived, you survived, you tried - even if barely. for the year, days, life to come, live. live in the moment. stay. breathe. it gets better. ❞

❝ idk who needs to hear this but be so completely yourself that everyone else feels safe to be themselves too. stop changing yourself, your habits, your way of thinking, acting, dressing, speaking; only to be liked or accepted by people or their society. as friends, stop being mean, pretending of it as a joke. stop being insensitive towards someone's appearance. stop letting the third one walk behind saying the path is too small. compromise. squeeze em in. as a girl, stop dressing or speaking in a certain way to be noticed by a specific guy. stop pretending to not notice when another girl needs your help. as a guy, stop killing your habits just because someone else says they're not 'manly' enough. as lovers, stop keeping things from the other just for their sake. as a parent, stop doing what others tell you what would be good for your child. life is too short to have it be lived as someone else. be responsible. stay you. ❞

❝ when we're in pain, people are too quick to say, 'get over it', 'move on', 'its not that bad' but we don't get over grief by denying it. we have to feel it, we have to give it it's due. we have to dive down to the very depths of our sorrow, relive every terrible moment and endure the torture of asking what could've been and what will now be. we have to bleed out before our hearts can start beating again. ❞

❝ telling someone they need to let go and move on is speaking to them in a language they don't understand. letting go can be the most difficult thing to do, some of us never let go. we remain stuck forever. the language of letting go means placing yourself at a centre of a foreign place where you understand nothing. a place so uncomfortable, it stirs an anxiety in your belly, where each second is stretched into a lifetime. it is the acceptance of their death. whether there has been death or not. letting go is not knowing when you'll come out of them. it is knowing eventually you shall.	❞ - rupi kaur

❝ it's just really scary how unpredictable people are. at one moment, they make you feel as if you're finally home and get you all comfortable and attached to them and the next they could be so brutally distant and harsh to you. that isn't everyone though. life has its own ways to teach us a lesson that is letting go of what doesn't want to stay. believe me what wants to stay will find a reason to, despite all odds. who wants to genuinely be with you will never abandon you. someone who doesn't wanna stay won't care how deeply you love them. it's a tough lesson to learn. i hope you let go knowing that the better is yet to come. stay strong. ❞

❝ start where you are and move with humility; recognizing that you may make mistakes along the way and that's okay. what matters is that you are showing up. do not let fear or shame consume you. do not invite them into the conversation. give them no power, no voice, no authority, no control. instead, choose grace; knowing that grace will guide your steps and help you to find your footing as you navigate your way to the future. lean in to the fight - even when it's uncomfortable, even when it'd be easier to back down and do nothing. take your stance. there's work to do. the universe is in motion and so should be you. ❞
