It’s okay to grieve the loss of people you once tried so hard to hold close.
Maybe they simply weren’t meant to stay.
Maybe they were chapters, not constants.
And deep down—you knew.
You felt it in the quiet moments,
that the bond was fragile,
threaded more by your effort than by mutual care.
You were the glue, the bridge, the fire—and yet,
no one else brought warmth to meet yours.

You told yourself it was real.
You wanted it to be.
Even when every part of you whispered otherwise.
You stayed, not for them, but because
you were afraid of what would be left without them.
You weren’t trapped by anyone but yourself—
confined in the comfort of familiarity,
even when it dulled your spirit.

And that’s okay.
It’s okay to be alone for a while.
Solitude isn’t silence—it’s self-discovery.
This is what you’ve always craved:
space to know yourself without noise,
freedom to walk your path unshadowed.

Maybe this is your grand reckoning.
Your karma.
The universe stepping in
to peel away what you no longer need.
To teach you how to stand on your own,
to walk into rooms alone and still feel whole,
to sit with discomfort and call it peace.

It’s asking you to trust again—
not blindly,
but patiently.
To learn that not everyone comes with hurt hidden in their hands.
That not all love is a lesson.
That you don’t need to carry what no longer fits.

No, those mistakes were not you.
They were growing pains.
And you are allowed to grow.
The universe is infinite for a reason—
there will always be space for your becoming.

And because you wouldn’t take the leap,
the universe gave you a push.
Ready or not.
Because truthfully, no one is ever truly ready.
You just go.
You just enter the unknown.
And there—
waiting all this time—
was you.

She’s been calling.
She’s been patient.
She’s been ready.

So don’t fight it anymore.
Take the step.
You’ll be amazed at what rises from the ruins.

Stay strong.
Let change reshape you.
Let it bloom.
Let it bless.

It’s okay to be afraid—
just do it afraid.
Have courage.
Because the version of you who has waited so long
is finally ready to meet you.
And the universe is saying: it’s time.

You will be fine, child. Trust.

Darling, put yourself on a higher pedestal.
You are greater than what you make yourself out to be.
You are smart,
you are beautiful.
You lived even before them,
why not live again ?
For yourself.

I’ve always wondered what pushes Sisyphus to keep pushing the rock,
The struggles it took to bring it on top.
Just to find it at the bottom, and again he pushes it up
I’d like to think he rides the rock
When it rolls down from the mountain top,
I hope he enjoys the gust of wind as he sled down, carefree
And that he was… genuinely content.
And it was actually worth it,
To spend his eternity striving to be happy.

If you don't heal what hurt you,

You'll bleed on people who didn't cut you.

You look
and a beauty she is
Then she moves, smiles and talks
and the beauty is gone.
    You look
and you don’t see beauty at all
Then she moves, smiles and talks
And a beauty she is!

Beauty is more then what the eyes can see.
It’s indeed in the eye of the beholder.

The crushing weight of uncertainty
Can certainly be
The end of me
But why lie beneath
The lies and heat
We've lived and died
In subtlety
You're ripening
Now it's time to see
Him playing for pipe and string
He's not the type to sing

Hanging from the rafters.
