I hate men lolol

The more I hear about guys, the more I wonder if they can feel anything, tbh. Like, imagine a guy telling his girlfriend that he loves his female friends? Honestly, that's sooo messed up.

❝ 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. ❞

❝ how many of you didn't know certain things about yourself until you discovered them after spending a few hours with a new friend or going on holiday with your cousins? then suddenly you came across a trait you never knew you had. it's like you have to go through new experiences to know how you'd respond to them.
          
          
          you need to taste new food to find out what your favourite cuisine is. you need to press your feet into the sand and the ocean to remember how good it feels. you need to laugh at a few jokes before you learn more about your humour. you need to meet people, talk about life, philosophy and politics to know what your views on those matters truly are. you need to feel happiness like never before to realise what it means to you and how much you need it in your life.
          
          
          and you need to feel pain on the hands of people that you'll accept you don't need going forward. you need to fall head over heels in love with the wrong person to know what it's like when it's with the right. and sometimes you need to go through the darkest moments in your life so that when they pass - you realise that you want to truly welcome the light. ❞ 

❝ 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. ❞

❝ there will be some things you won't get over. some things that will sting you so hard they will set you back to where you started and you will hurt and hurt and hurt. but you will also rise from it. you will learn from the past. you will adapt and survive no matter how hard it gets. you will shape your own reality and accept how you should never settle for anything less than you deserve. ❞

❝ and i hope you find more than just yourself. i hope you find it in you not to hurt the people you love, not to put yourself down when you feel like breaking apart. i hope you find miracles....the kind that will make you believe in love again, in trust again, in people and in magic... again. i hope these things for you to tell you how beautiful life can be. i believe these things will happen to you because you deserve it. you deserve someone to go home to, a place to shelter you when it rains, someone to run to when you feel vulnerable, someone who understands you know? you deserve to be loved in all places, especially where you least expect it. that's all. ❞

❝ Maybe you should stop overthinking so much and trust the way life happens. Things change, every year you grow into someone else, every year you have the opportunity to start over again and begin to rise and face the world the way that you want to. Take this with you, you beautiful human being...don't be afraid to fail. Don't be afraid to fall. Don't be afraid to get your heart broken. Don't be afraid at all. The fear is in your head. The doubt is in your heart - and regret survives in the memory -  that is, of you feed it, if you give into it. So please before you go, overthinking is a self-inflicting act. It is the suicide, the doubt of self, the tragedy no one understands. It is instant death without lifting a single word so don't give into it. You know you're stronger than that and capable of so much more. ❞

❝ The most people can do is feel sorry for you. They may feel bad that you had to go through a rough phase and some may console you. Some of them will even be proud of how you managed yourself, how you pretended to be fully functional despite it all. It is beyond their capacity to imagine how you emerged from fire, unscathed but as a different person. A person who believes less in miracles and pushes forward, who is afraid of happiness being followed by tragedy, who has little energy to persue formalities of an interaction. They don't know, they can't but you know you are a survivor. You know you are a fighter. Give yourself some credit. Be kind to yourself. ❞
