hi i just want to remind you to keep going
you'll get out of your winter soon
spring will come

i hope you'll find strength and warmth within these words
if not, i hope you'll find it elsewhere

just strive and thrive for a little bit longer
it'll get warmer eventually

what do you call that hurt you feel that is less than a heartbreak?
you know the one that you can't categorize as heart wrecking pain but still makes you want to rip your heart out?

the one that makes your heart hurt just enough so that you can still carry on with your daily life
but still enough to keep you up at night

it's like a cut that will not make you bleed
but will still leave a scar
it will scar and remind you of someone

someone who showed interest
someone who caught you off guard
someone who made your heart flutter

someone who keeps you up at night thinking about the endless what ifs

what if you had given it more time?

would the cut be deep enough to bleed?

i havent been here for a long time. hi there. i wrote this yesterday, minutes before midnight. i had the worst headache plus my sinuses(?) were failing me. despite all that,, these thoughts were the ones that kept me up. i havent written anything for so long, this isnt something im proud of.

these are just my raw thoughts and questions. i didn't know what to do with them, so i just wrote them down my notepad and brought them here in the hopes that maybe you too can relate. so here it is, this is for anyone who is hurting but still functioning bc the wound wasn't deep enough.

the wound didn't need time to grieve or heal or move on. it's just there like a mosquito bite that you scratched.

and once again, i'm stuck
trapped in this loophole
of disappoinment and
unhappiness

it's like an endless routine
where i'm standing still
watching everyone go
and grow

while i'm just here,
stuck inside the void
inside of me

and once again, i'm stuck
trapped in this loophole

stuck at the lowest point
again (repeat x times)
just when i thought i'm already okay

a bittersweet scent fills the air

some are blissfully unaware
trap on their own world for two

some are filled with despair
trap on their hearts reserved for /you/

some are questioning what they have
some are still holding on the past
some are just barely holding on the pieces
some are clawing their way out

some are confused, some are clueless

some are waiting for a surprise
some are wishing for anything at all

some are hurting, some are hurting

letters, flowers, chocolates, surprises
let me show you my love

oh no we're just friends
this doesn't mean anything

you know that you didn't have to
I wanted to

thanks but...
I understand

**When will my time come?

happy late valentine's to all

Let her go
because all that hurt isn't worth it

and we both know that
you're only holding on a ghost
admit it,
she already left months ago

How can you call it love when
you've been hurt over and over again

Aren't you tired
of the same act that she plays
she's not even a good actress

Aren't you tired?

You deserve happiness
and admit it you won't ever find it with her

I hope that you realize your worth
don't waste your love on her
I have no right to say this. I'm just an observer to your story. An outsider. I don't know anything. I don't know the whole story. But from the excerpts that I've seen—I saw that you're tired. And whatever reasons you have for not letting go, remember that you don't deserve this. It's not your fault that she failed to recognize your worth. You deserve so much more.

Don't settle for what is given,
for what is convenient,
for what is easy.

"she's not like other girls"

she'll probably give you **** when you say that to her
she's not an exception
she believes in every girl's beauty

she believes in the splendor of the world
her eyes sparkle with wonder
her feet itch to wander
her heart soars for all that is beautiful

but she also believes in all the ugliness of the world
her eyes shut with horror
her feet refuse to stand up
her heart breaks for the sake of humanity

she will not comply to your standards
because she'll sometimes be inadequate
or because defiance will appeal to her more

she does things in her own quirk and pace

she'll heat water and make coffee
then put in the fridge to let it cool
she'll wait for the weekend just to
waste her time in bed
she'll throw a party when she reach
a certain age just because
she thinks it's a good number
she'll be distant for a couple of days
she'll come back eventually
she'll just wander through her solitude

she's pretty
but not that pretty

or so she thinks

she wears a crop top but then gets
bothered whenever a bit of skin is exposed
she swears to only wear neutral clothes
but lets her mother buy her some color
she admires other people's body but
is still in the process of loving her own

she pours water to make the glass full
she sips just enough to make it half empty
maybe that's why her lips are chapped

she's different just like everyone else
she's no chosen one
she is not destined to save the world or anyone
except maybe herself
she's not a special snowflake
though sometimes
she think she is

she is not an exception
she is not an
she is not
she is

she
she was not born to love
or validate
or understand
or protect
or be there
for you

though sometimes
she feels obligated to
