Peace Of Mind❤

Find your place and close your eyes, so your heart can start to see. When you give up being self-absorbed, your being becomes a great community.

“I, I just wanna jam tonight yes now, smoking on some trees till the early light yes now we, we just wanna chill with you, loving the weekend, it’s just me and my friends, some that I take to my end”

So many of us long for love but lack the courage to take risks. Even though we are obsessed with the idea of love, the truth is that most of us live relatively decent, satisfying lives even if we often feel that love is lacking. In these relationships we share genuine affection and/or care. For most of us, this feels like enough because it is usually a lot more than we received in our families of origin. Undoubtedly, many of us are more comfortable with the notion that love can mean anything to anybody precisely because when we define with precision and clarity it brings us face to face with our lacks–with terrible alienation. The truth is, far too many people in our culture do not know what love is. And this not knowing feels like a terrible secret, a lack that we have to cover up.

One day you’re going to see her holding hands with someone who took your chance. She won’t even notice you because she’s too busy laughing with the stupid jokes he makes. And it will burn your heart seeing that beautiful smile on her face and realizing that you’re not the reason anymore. And then it will finally hit you: it was her, it was always her.

Happiness is when you drink the vodka without trying to drown your memories. Happiness is when your phone vibrates and your heart doesn’t drop three stories into your stomach or get caught in your throat because you hope it’s them texting you. Happiness is the first night you don’t stay up until 2am thinking back to every sweet nothing they whispered in your ear and questioning how someone could say all of that and still leave. Happiness is the result of realizing that their presence is not essential to your survival. Happiness is remembering that you are enough.
