What if I wasn’t meant to feel, only to see? What if I was only meant to watch, never to experience? For years, I’ve tried nurturing and sustaining relationships by changing myself to what I thought was best for the people I love. It’s important for me to know that they have everything they want, [...]
What if I told you everything I’ve been hiding so deep inside? If I just looked you in the eyes and told you every single insecurity that plagues me daily. Or how about that I just don’t feel good enough for you. Because I don’t. I don’t feel like I’ve been the person worthy of [...]
“If they are showing you who they are and not who you perceive them to be, let them.” — Cassie Phillips If people misunderstand you to be someone you’re not and hate you for it, let them. If people take your presence for granted every single time and never really cared for your feelings, let [...]

What if all my trying only gets me close, but not quite. Have you ever tried so hard that your bones remember the weight of the effort, even when your mind has already begun to forget? I have. There are nights when I lie awake and think about all the versions of myself I’ve given [...]

You just wake up one day, maybe on a Tuesday morning or a Saturday afternoon, and something feels … different. Not [...]
But Not Always for the Right Reasons. You haven’t heard from them in months. Maybe even years. You spent countless nights wondering if they ever thought about you, if they ever regretted leaving. And just when you’ve finally learned how to live without them — ding. “Hey, how are you?” Like nothing happened. Like they didn’t disappear [...]
When a man says “I need some time”, you can hand him a watch. When he says “I’m not ready for a serious relationship”, you should believe him.
