Human
Marie-Lyne Jul 2018
To accept what happens
As devasting as it is
Is what makes you human
128 · Jun 2018
Not your psychiatrist
Marie-Lyne Jun 2018
Keeping someone sane is
the most devasting decision we
take in our human existence
127 · Mar 2020
Finally
Marie-Lyne Mar 2020
To understand yourself
is the first step to heal yourself
127 · May 2021
Self-Therapy
Marie-Lyne May 2021
How you deal with yourself
When you’re not okay
Speaks a lot about you
126 · Jun 2019
Relatives
Marie-Lyne Jun 2019
They feed you
With negative energy
And You’ll end up feeling like nothing

L'amour
Marie-Lyne Jun 2018
What is love?
To act around someone
as if you're totally alone

What is hate?
To keep a distance
from people you used to love

Minerva
Marie-Lyne Feb 2021
My story is very simple
I lost my grandma several days ago
Not to be sad was a hard task
Especially in this melancholic pandemic
Rare are the things that make me happy
Vast are the emotions that I want to escape
At last, I don’t want to associate death to pain
125 · May 2018
Please understand me
Marie-Lyne May 2018
I am not asking you to love me
But to accept me as I am
125 · Jul 2017
Adulthood
Marie-Lyne Jul 2017
What if
I wanted to be an adult
But an adult with some human qualities
I don't want to go to work
If I woke up unable to breath, speak or walk
Where's the problem?
If you cried because you can't stand it anymore
Because you've had a tough day
Or because you've suddenly missed all the people that left

If you think you're a strong human being
because you can control your life, your feelings and your problems
Then you're everything but human
Listen to me
I don't want to transform myself into a mechanical process where all the organs of a human being are forgotten

Adulthood is an illusion just like love
Being an adult will not make you braver
You still have all the feelings and the fears of your childhood
But you know how to hide them

Thoughts
Marie-Lyne Jul 2019
Second chances
Are only given
To the ones
That deserve it

Missing someone
Doesn’t always mean
You have to go back

When you move on
You’ll know why you relationship never worked out

What a mess
Going back to what
Makes you sad
124 · Sep 2019
3:00 pm
Marie-Lyne Sep 2019
We are always surrounded by people who don’t understand us
We always give chances to the people who don’t deserve our attention

But maybe

Someday
We’ll realize
That we should only understand ourselves
And we should give ourselves the chance to start again
after every failure
123 · May 2018
Day 1
Marie-Lyne May 2018
I want to believe in myself
I want to be better
Study more
I'm healing
But sometimes it gets so hard
and I don't think I can do it
anymore
but there is hope
better days
I want to feel everything
Allow myself to be human
It's okay to have a bad day
We should be more gentle
with ourselves
To forgive ourselves before
forgetting others
123 · Oct 2018
Nature
Marie-Lyne Oct 2018
If you find nature, the only place
where you belong
Then my dear,
I think you're
entering the
cycle of life
123 · Mar 2019
Beginnings
Marie-Lyne Mar 2019
Beginnings are the things that we should always search for
122 · Jul 2018
Advices
Marie-Lyne Jul 2018
Let go
of what keeps
your human roots
stuck to the ground

Let go
and liberate yourself
You deserve better my dear
Second chances are not always
worth the try

Just remember that even a movie
sequel is worse than the original
122 · May 2018
A simple observation
Marie-Lyne May 2018
To open up to a world full of opportunities
Is the most sacred thing right now
122 · Dec 2018
Why?
Marie-Lyne Dec 2018
Why do we do this to
Ourselves
Torture ourselves with
Things that we can’t control
What is it that makes life
Threatening
Devasting
Completely
Meaningless
It’s the ideas in our head
The bad thoughts that accompany us
everyday
We can change
It’s not a destiny
It’s how you deal
How you work on yourself
To tolerate pain
Sadness
And every little thing
That can connect us to a past
That will never happen again
Do not say
I was happy back then
But more
I choose to be happy
To be satisfied by boring
Routinized moments
I choose to make magic
Out of the ordinary life
122 · Jun 2021
Move on
Marie-Lyne Jun 2021
Move on
And stop worrying
Move on
And allow yourself to have bad days
Move on and choose yourself
Every time you want to give up
Move on
So the sadness will stop taking root in your soul
Stop having hope in a change of scenario
Stop overthinking
You are too precious to feel like this
You don’t deserve what happened to you
You are stronger than you think
121 · Aug 2017
Wars
Marie-Lyne Aug 2017
If only wars destroyed
buildings and walls
not souls
Men and woman continue their life
with half a heart
with half of their feelings
Wars ****
childhood
innocence
ignorance
We lie on the floor
not knowing if tomorrow
we will have another chance to continue dreaming
of better days
and some security
for our family and friends
121 · Aug 2018
60
Marie-Lyne Aug 2018
60
In 60 days
I tried my best to rediscover
my country Lebanon
It was weird
to experience
the other side
that I didn’t see before
the side
where everything is okay
where youth still governed an
important part of society
But most of all
to see how your school friends
have blossomed into mentally mature human beings
who aren’t afraid to show their fragile souls to the world

This time
I wanted to feel everything
feel the heat
feel the human interaction
feel the pain, the sadness of leaving
but also feel the joy
of recovering from insignificant
and useless scars

How much
was it important
To change your room,
your wall hangings
the ideas in your mind
but to keep your childhood
best friends close
no matter the distance
and no matter the time
119 · Oct 2018
Progress
Marie-Lyne Oct 2018
We need to take care of ourselves
not matter how hard it is seems
It doesn't have to be majestic
It should get ugly
Because starting something new
isn't easy, it is terrifying
But trust me when you get there
it's worth it
It's a lot of work
But think of how much you need it
How much it is important to your soul,
to your body, to your confidence
You're not alone in this
Everything takes time
Look around you
Even nature takes time to grow
Do not expect progress to
happen suddenly
You have to keep going
no matter the time
For what counts is our
experiences , how much we have
felt, even suffered to accomplish ourselves
119 · Jul 2017
Not a summary
Marie-Lyne Jul 2017
One day
a person
will come
and they will
sum up everything
you've been through
in one phrase
But what if
I told you
that all the
little details
cannot be
summarized
Marie-Lyne May 2018
Revenir
Pour détacher nos racines humaines
Revenir
Pour se souvenir du passé
Revenir simplement
Pour apprécier un présent plein de morceaux de joie

Je veux que mon existence aie du sens
Que ce que je dis soit non pas éternel
Mais lu par quelqu’un qui comprendra
118 · Aug 2017
Inspired by The Martian
Marie-Lyne Aug 2017
I want a love that can trascends earth
that is able to travel to Mars
An outside of this world love
Where we could live on a deserted planet
Only us

Astronauts will be stupfied
Because what we have inside of us
has never been proven before
Two hearts not related to each other
but attached by an invisible wire
Beating with the same intensity
We'll mix Earth and Mars into this infinite universe
118 · Nov 2017
Is this happiness?
Marie-Lyne Nov 2017
Happiness is waking up in the morning and being able to get up
Happiness is sorting out your clothes and realizing that you have too many
Happiness is knowing that you’re lucky
Happiness is finding out that your stress is meaningless
Happiness is not being afraid of useless things
Happiness is taking care of yourself everyday
Happiness is bathing in a warm water
Happiness is sleeping early
Happiness isn’t that hard you know
But we always forget ourselves in this chaotic world
I want you to take care of yourself no matter what
To love yourself and admire your body even if it’s not perfect
I want you to wake up everyday grateful that you’re living this life
I want you to have all the things that we’re missing in your life
I want you to have friends that love not matter how weird and awkward you are
I want you to trust yourself enough so you’ll never worry about the future
I want you to give yourself some time to sit back and relax
Make time for yourself , for your own self
It’s not good to neglect yourself
You are enough my dear
But stil don’t know it
Don’t wait for someone to tell it to you
My darling you are strong because you’ve decided to fight
But don’t lose yourself in it
It doesn’t matter if you win or you lose
What matters is your effort, your strength, your ability to stand up again
If you're thinking that your life should be all about good moments
You’re wrong
Look around and you will see that all this chaos inside of your head doesn’t exist
You will have more confidence once you understand that being yourself is the best thing you’ll ever learn to do
Have a good life and appreciate what makes you weak
118 · May 2018
Talk
Marie-Lyne May 2018
Let us talk
Not to critique
But to express a sudden love
An unexpected friendship
And a connection that suprisingly blossomed
118 · May 2021
Uninspired
Marie-Lyne May 2021
Feeling empty
Is a harsh feeling
As if nothing makes sense
As if suddenly everything stops for a while
We need to have faith
In ourselves
And accept our mood swings
Our moments of despair
We shouldn’t take decisions
We should simply let go
And let everything fits into its own way
118 · Apr 2020
April
Marie-Lyne Apr 2020
And they asked:
What word defines
your society?
And I said :
Instant coffee
Why?
Because we desire
energy
and
speed
in everything
we do
117 · Aug 2018
Why?
Marie-Lyne Aug 2018
Why don't we bring
the everyday routine into our lives
and accept it
as boring as it is
Why don't we bother ourselves
and just imagine how much life
was meaningless without effort
Why don't we see
all the beauty left in
this world
Why don't we give ourselves
the chance to start again
117 · Jun 2019
Write it
Marie-Lyne Jun 2019
Life is not a script that we should follow
But a story that we should write
117 · Jan 2019
Winter
Marie-Lyne Jan 2019
Don’t wait for the world
To show you what it has to offer
You have all the potential
To be happy
Despite circumstances
seasonal depression
And the harsh snow weather
Sincerely,
A girl that lives in Canada

Life
Marie-Lyne May 2021
There are places
People
Places
That make you feel alive
They remind you of your strength
They bring you back to a challenging life
A busy one
Where distraction
Is a must
115 · Mar 2018
Seconds
Marie-Lyne Mar 2018
This rush
This madness
What is this feeling
How can you describe it
Is it okay to always want it?
What if someday it fades
Just like everything else

But for now we are in control of
ourselves
And we are experiencing moments of exctasy even if they only last  seconds
114 · Nov 2020

We stare into screens
Afraid to be ourselves

Emotion work
Marie-Lyne Apr 2018
We have always convinced ourselves that we have feelings for someone when we didn't
And we always hid the true sentiments for someone that we aren't suppose to fall in love with

Lessons
Marie-Lyne Jul 2018
you are enough
no matter who you are
how old are you
and how much you gain

Second chances
will make you feel better
or you’ll get destroyed forever

Imagine
life without
sacrifices
what a piece of heaven

belong to yourself
to your thoughts
to your piece of mind

I am not yours
even if sometimes
all i ever want is to be with you

Never underestimate
what happens to
people with a broken heart
114 · May 2018
What we need to hear
Marie-Lyne May 2018
Most of the times
We love people
Not because they complete us
But because
They give us a reason to live
Marie-Lyne May 2018
How many people have to fall in love with you
So you'll realise that what you have inside is rare in our world

Houses
Marie-Lyne Jun 2019
Some people are like houses
You can’t guess what they are by their façade, you have to visit them, discover every room in order to truly know them
112 · Jul 2017
Modern
Marie-Lyne Jul 2017
Someone called me modern today
and I don’t know if that’s a good thing
Maybe because where I was born people are usually attached to useless traditions
But we can’t always define someone by their country of origin
Even if we have lived in same places
but we have different parents, entourage and all that stuff
Stereotypes ruin our lives
But we will always find a way to show our true selves
112 · Aug 2018
Maybe
Marie-Lyne Aug 2018
Loving someone needs time
You can't jump from being friends
to lovers in seconds
111 · Nov 2017
It's not about the past
Marie-Lyne Nov 2017
It’s not about the past
nor about your future
Why do we like to torture ourselves?
Is pain the only thing you can feel?
Is absence the only kind of love you know?
Are you telling me that you don’t love your present?
What do you want?
Is this the life you’ve always imagined?
We are human beings and we are melancholic
We are dark souls
But what if
You decided to change
Do you need time to think about that?
