“I’m sorry, you didn’t deserve that.”
“No, actually I really did.” He looked at her, puzzled.
“I Don’t think I understand.”
“I knew he was hurting me, I knew he wasn’t treating me right, I knew I deserved better, but I stayed anyways.
Sometimes you love someone, you love them so much, that you let them hurt you. I wanted him to touch me, even if it made me bleed.
I wanted those seconds of happiness even if it meant a night of tear stained pillows.
In my gut, I knew it wasn’t right, but I’d spend hours making excuses just to try to feel it was.
I put myself second to put him first,
and I thought,
that he’d do the same.
Eventually you’ll end up where you need to be, with who you’re meant to be with, and doing what you should be doing. Patience is the key.
Note to self? Don’t waste your time worrying about those people who don’t even waste a second thinking about you.
There are bad days when she wants you to help peace find a way to stay. She wants your eyes to spark, paying every attention to her.
She wants your silence to hug her, and your presence to be in the present moments.
There are bad days where her ears don’t want to listen to the noise of advice, her brain isn’t looking for a solution.
While her eyes are not searching for anything but stillness.

Be still with her.

Be a listener.

Be a comfort.

Be a servant.
Just be there and try to solve nothing.
Sometimes other people’s emotions, struggles, memories, or grief are too much for us so we hurriedly dismiss it, shame it, or distance ourselves.
But what people need most in their feeling moment is for us to get close to them.
Feel what they feel.

Whatever is worrying you right now, forget about it.
Take a deep breath,
Stay positive,
And know that things will get better.
Stop wishing your life away. Stop wishing for Friday, dreading Monday. Wishing you were done with school. Wishing you would find your soulmate. Wishing you would be this or that.
It’s time that you start loving every moment that you’re still blessed to be living in. Pursue your gifts, listen to you spirit, follow your intuition, explore your art

and

create,

create,
create your own magic.
