hey… this is for you, if no one said it today… you look lovely today; lovely in your own way. not for comparison, but for your own impression; an expression that stood strong, through every battle you’ve already won. won— and still soft enough to smile through it; still standing, even when standing was the hardest thing to do. you’re not something to be measured— you are the measure; a compliment living in its own sentence, resting in your own kind of beauty… and if he never said this to you, let this message find you well… right on time, just to remind you— "you already are everything good you’ve been waiting to hear."

If No One Said It Today
God, I know You understand the direction of every heart far better than the one who carries it. I never truly understood how someone could feel so close, even when we were raised under different skies, with prayers that may not sound the same. And yet, somehow, within all those differences, I found something that felt like… home. I do not ask You to change him by force, nor do I beg for him to rush toward what I believe in. I only ask for one simple thing— if there is a light You have ever placed within me, if there is any goodness that comes from You that he has once seen, even for a moment, let that be enough to make him wonder. Let that be enough to make him seek. And if one day he finds something that brings peace to his heart… let it come from You, not from me. Because I know— what comes from humans can be questioned, but what comes from You never loses its way.

ABOUT A HEART I DO NOT CONTROL
God, I carry this hope in the quietest way I know. I do not speak it, I do not force it, and often, I even hide it from myself. Because I am afraid— that if I hold it too tightly, I might end up hurting the very things I am meant to protect. But You know, behind all this silence, there is a prayer that keeps repeating without a sound. If he is truly a part of the goodness You have written for me, then bring him closer in the most gentle and rightful way. And if not, do not let this hope turn into a wound.

ABOUT THE HOPE I KEEP IN SILENCE
God, I am beginning to understand that not everything that feels right to me is something I should pursue in my own way. There are things far too vast for me to control their direction— including a heart that was never mine to begin with. I do not know how to introduce You to him without making him feel like a stranger to himself. So I choose silence, and I entrust that part to You. If there is indeed a light that You have prepared for him, let it arrive like the morning— not forced, not demanded, but certain in its coming.

ABOUT A LIGHT I CANNOT FORCE
I apologize for very little reasons. I say sorry to people even for the slightest mistakes. Sometimes I feel sorry for no reason at all. And sometimes I fumble to say sorry even when there is no fault of mine. It may portray me as silly, weak, childish, sensitive, desperate, or someone pretending to be nice. But for me— it’s fear. it’s my overthinking, my assumptions, and my over analysis of the situations around me. I fear losing beautiful bonds and friendships over small fights. I overthink that my slightest words or actions may hurt others. I assume and blame myself to be at fault. I analyze and conclude that the mistake is mine. And I don’t feel bad or regret apologizing— because people are more important than my self-esteem sometimes.

Between Fear and Sorry
Death isn’t the end. It’s armor coming off. The body falls, the soul stands bruised, brilliant, remembering. We come for lessons too heavy to learn anywhere else. Grief. Betrayal. Powerlessness. Love that splits you open and demands you grow. Not punishment. Preparation. The strongest aren’t lucky. They volunteered. Some arrive quiet. Some land like thunder — endurance baked into their bones. The ones who survive what should have broken them. The ones older than their birth certificate. The ones strangers pour pain into without knowing why. That isn’t coincidence. That’s memory. Some return, not because they failed, but because they mastered survival and were asked to walk again with steadier hands. Not saviors. Not saints. Just warriors. They walk through fire without turning cruel. They hold space when rooms collapse. They protect without announcing it. They bleed quietly and still teach others to stand. Scars are proof, not damage. Heavy lives are trust, not punishment. Carry your light. Finish your promise. I didn’t land here by accident. And neither did you. Some break cycles. Some hold the line. Some walk into darkness and return with proof it can be survived. Call it resilience. Call it warrior. Call it truth. I am not here randomly. And neither are you.

Not Here By Accident
Don’t get lost in your pain, know that one day your pain will become your cure. The heart is a thousand-stringed instrument that can only be tuned with love. Love opens, love transforms, love shows you the secret door to the self you never knew existed I did not love her at first; I loved what her presence did to me. Each heartbeat was a question, each glance a mirror showing me the secret landscape of my own soul. In falling, I rose; in desiring, I learned; in knowing her, I discovered myself!!!!! WORK FROM: To her who already knows !!

LOVE AS MiRROR!!
Some of us are lucky to find a golden bucket of peace. It’s calming a quiet kind of beatitude. When we immerse ourselves, we loosen the day’s grip, and daily troubles slip away, like coats we don’t need anymore. We enter a special place safety, belonging, familiarity. A place we don’t want to leave. Ever. Have you found yours? Treasure it. It’s precious. It’s rare. Believe in possibilities. Light up the world.

Golden Bucket of Peace
I believe in self-love. I believe we shouldn’t depend on others for happiness. But in the long run, we all need someone— Someone who admires our efforts, Someone who showers love and care, Someone who stays loyal, Someone who lifts us when we fall, Someone to lean on—when self-care isn’t enough. Is it too much to ask for just that?

Between Independence and Longing
After everything didn’t you learn anything? You were supposed to be healing by now, reflecting on the mistakes, on the love you gave that was never solid— only wind. It was not true, even if you are certain it was. It wasn’t, love. It was emptiness, a hunger for affection. If you had stopped, just for a moment, to think about it, you would have known too. You shouldn’t be writing about us, about our love, our undone plans. You should be writing about your traumas.

we can always begin again
You’re kind of funny, you know. I wanted to stay in our home, but you said I was the one moving out— because I chose separation. You yelled at me when we tried to fix things, shouting that I should pack my things and walk away. Now you’re the one moving, asking if I want to live there. Of course not. I’m on another frequency now. And yet you want me to solve the problems with the painting— me, the one you invited to leave. Where’s your speech now? You wanted the house. So— keep the house.

Keep the House
Your poetry still blossoms in my heart each morning, just like I told you before. I also said my heart would decide by October. We’re almost there. But your last message struck something in me, made me rethink if you were truly worthy to enter this sacred space I’ve built around myself. I feel older now, wiser, more beautiful, radiant. I’ve grown so much these past months that the tarot reading from the start of the year finally makes sense. And you— you are still immature.

This Sacred Space
Today is a portal day— a day to close cycles, to remember, to say enough. And who messages me? You. Like confirmation from the universe. I saw the photos online— you with her, traveling, smiling. But always behind sunglasses, so no one notices how bored you are. My sister says she’s just a filler, a stand-in. There’s no glow in your eyes. All that’s left is to laugh at the scene, because deep down, it feels almost comical. So I wish you happiness— though my heart is stormy, angry, torn. If I wish you harm, I create bad karma. So— many felicities.

Many Felicities
Now that I have clarity, lucidity— I see it was impossible for us to continue together. It’s a fact, undeniable. Your world is too small for me. I am expansive, vast, I fill rooms and lives. In your world, the same stories repeat, the same people with the same problems. And there is nothing wrong with living that life. But my soul asks for something else.

Too Small a World for Me
I wonder if you think I’m dying for you, worrying for you, suffering for you. In your fantasies, how do I appear? Red eyes, tear-stained cheeks? I must look terribly bland in your daydream. But the truth is— I’m fine. Thanks.

Yes, you made it through— alive. Good. I’m glad. But I promised my best friend I’d take a couple days before answering you. I set boundaries. Actually, you set them first. And now I won’t cross them. Even if you made a scene, claiming you might die. How foolish. Stay quiet. Recover. One day, I’ll answer you.

One Day I’ll Answer You
If you change a story, you change a life. Be gentle with the words you whisper to yourself. They can bind you, or set you free. They can say: “you are too small,” or “you were born for this.” Stories are seeds— whatever you plant within, will grow. So tell yourself the tale that makes your soul remember its wings.

Change the Story
Do you remember how happy, how joyful I seemed? Though deep inside, I was pure sadness, pure depression. Do you remember how I tried to keep the air light, to show you how much I loved you? How I hung on your neck like I might break it with the weight of my embrace, how I kissed your cheek as if I might press it straight into your skin? You hated it. Told me to get a grip, to find direction, that I was a little crazy. Yes— crazy with love for you. And when the crisis came, the first thing you wanted back was my madness.

Sing to Yourself
Yes, I can get upset over silly things. Yes, I can get angry at the smallest details. And that’s okay. I take those feelings, pour them into poetry, or fists against my pillow. And that’s okay. But if I spoke of these little things— the failures, the sadness— to everyone, not all would understand. And that’s okay. It’s about feeling, letting it out, letting it pass, and finding peace within myself.

And That’s Okay
You are not my daughter— you are the daughter of his late brother. But everyone used to say you looked like me, that you could have easily been mine. And that was fine. I called you princess, because you are. I don’t know when you will realize this, but the place you’re growing up in is a hard one. I won’t say I miss you, but I wonder— do you ever miss me? Because in the few moments we shared, you clung to me, you painted my face, brushed my hair, and for a while— I became a princess in your kingdom. I hope the little time we had was enough to show you there is more to life. Never stop dreaming, Nic. You can go far. All it takes is believing.

For Nic, the Little Princess
There’s a girl at school with porcelain skin, white as snow— but her wrists are covered in red lines. I had to report it to the administration. It was the right thing to do. I don’t know if she knows it was me. But now she lingers in the principal’s office, her face even paler, nauseous, locking herself in the bathroom. I fear I’ve made public what was sacredly private in her universe— and that it may get worse. My chest feels heavy imagining what she might do to herself, if they don’t care for her the right way. Because once, I was a girl just like her.
