Je ne regrette rien

“If you feel exhausted after being with a group of people then maybe you are meant to be with one person at a time. Maybe you’re the kind of someone who truly listens when a person is broken, hopeless, and needs a little bit of kindness in their life. Maybe you’re the kind of someone who likes talking about philosophy, aliens or the meaning of the universe at 3 am, and there’s a person out there who likes having those conversations too. Maybe you’re the kind of someone who naturally cultivates a person’s belief when you gently remind them that their own ideas for the betterment of their life are not crazy but are beautiful, wonderful, and amazing. Maybe you’re the kind of someone who helps people leave this world much better than they once found it, and that in itself is a remarkable way to exist.”

Presently greedy, I want your attention and affection. Possibly too much. I like knowing when I’m on your mind when you think about me, the urges you have, when you crave intimacy. I don’t want to scare you away, by how much I care about you. Sometimes it’s difficult expressing how I’m feeling, it’s terrifying being vulnerable. I have a distaste for really opening up, sharing my inner thoughts with just anyone. They aren’t always happy and bubbly, at times sinister.  

“Don’t take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.”
