listen to your heart when it says "no".

• Stop being sad about your past,
• Stop reading old text messages,
• Stop trying to be someone you're not,
• Stop trying to impress others
• Stop believing that social media acceptance determines your self worth,
• Stop hating your skin

sometimes you give them your heart and they give you shit. and sometimes you hold on to them a little longer because you deeply believe they will change. but that's not the case for most. you can't change someone when their heart isn't there. you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. and you can't love someone who doesn't want to be loved. sadly, this is the harsh reality we go through sometimes.

I feel like I could never give myself to anyone the way I gave myself to you. I feel like you took the best part of me with you, and I could never become the same again.

trust me when I say that your taste in people changes when you begin to love yourself.

If you decide to ghost me, it’s ultimately your choice. If you feel there’s nothing left to say, or I’m not worth a goodbye, I’m okay with that. But just know, I won’t ever look back once you do. Our paths won’t cross again. Once I outgrow our connection, I don’t look back.

..and if I survived your absence, I can survive anything.

I know you're exhausted tonight, but you did your best throughout the day. And I'm proud of you ❤️

you know, i'm at the age where i don't have the energy to waste on inconsistent people, the patience to sit next to my phone waiting on people to make time for me. i don't have time to waste on people who put me last when i put them first

It is not the things that hurt you that define you. It is how you deal with the pain. How you grow from it. What you learn from it. And how you learn to move on from it. That is what defines you. That is what makes you who you are.

The most beautiful thing about life is that you can always change, get better and grow. You aren't defined by your past. You aren't your mistakes.

im currently not rushing anything. period. im accepting that i need to enjoy the process. whats meant to flow, will.

sometimes i let your memory consume me entirely, and i let you linger for a long while because it's comforting to have you with me. i don't hold resentment towards you but i'm still at a loss for words for how i let you lead me on with all of your charm. i knew that you would leave eventually but i didn't care. i was careless enough to shatter my own heart for someone who never felt the same rush as i did when our fingers brushed. i blush at some of the things i've done just to be the center of your attention. i didn't think it through because it was you and i was a fool in love.

@TheLostDiary

I was a fool for the sake of us.

in a world full of darkness, you're the only light you need.

..and over years I've started to see that it's okay to limit who has access to me.

this year I met the most broken version of me. but also the strongest.

you shouldn't have to fight so hard to be loved.

I hate it when people make fun of people from lower socio economic classes wearing super fancy clothes at malls. Like it might just be a casual trip to emporium for you but that’s not the case for everyone. Let people enjoy whatever they want to and keep your privilege in check
