Eib's Life

1. Be proud of what you achieved so far. Although you might doubt yourself sometimes, you’re doing great. 2. Don’t take life so seriously. It’s always good to laugh at yourself sometimes. 3. Be aware of what type of people you surround yourself with, not everyone wants the best for you. 4. If they make u feel unwanted, leave. If it doesn’t make you happy, leave. 5. Look forward to the little things - like talking to your crush or eating your favorite food. 6. Appreciate the things you have and the people who care about you. 7. Replace your “I’m sorry’s” with “thank you’s”. Spread gratitude instead of negativity. 8. Don’t stress about your future. Everything that’s supposed to happen will eventually come to you. 9. Don’t be afraid of trying out new things. You’ll regret the things you won’t do more than the things you’ve done. 10. Sleep darling, give your body a break. Everything else can wait. ♡

I’m not there yet. My heart hurts and the tears fight like hell to reach the surface. There’s an ache that’s always lurking deep in my soul, stretching across my body, making its presence known. It comes in waves, the feeling of a broken heart. Sometimes I’m okay and other times… i can’t fight it. But here’s the thing, I know I’ll be okay. I know one day I’ll wake up and my broken heart won’t be the first thing that comes to mind. One day I’ll have new people in my life that will make all the pain a distant One day you’ll be a distant memory.

I held out empty hands. There was a scar on my finger Where a ring had sat a long time. I set aside the work for the day. I cleared my schedule. I cleared off my desk, Put those papers in the bottom drawer Where no one could see them. When you called, you asked to come over I reluctantly agreed. I didn’t know how to start. You asked, and I talked About all the things that laid heavy on me. God did I talk. Until my voice felt like rust And it was suddenly evening. I had handed over all that had hurt me. Now my hands were empty. My soul felt empty too. The difference between a full and empty bucket Carried 5 miles in the heat. I finished filling out those papers. I went to bed. One love doesn’t always cure another, But friendship can sometimes find a way Of healing the things that are broken in your heart. I lay in bed, One last thought for the night. He left you, and that is whatever it is. The days that came before today were hard But I will try again tomorrow.

1. It will get better. I promise all these problems will be stories one day and you’ll laugh at them thinking how silly you were. 2. Don’t make promises you can’t keep. If their laugh isn’t music to your ears or you don’t see the whole world in their eyes, don’t promise to love them forever. 3. Your grades don’t define you. The test you almost failed won’t matter in 10 years, what will matter is how good of a person you are. 4. However, don’t ignore your education. Education is one of the most powerful weapons you can ever have. Read as many books as you can and never ever stop learning. 5. Listen to your mother, I promise whatever she advises you is probably the best for you. No one truly wants the absolute best for you as much as your mother. 6. Never ever comment on anyone’s appearance, if they can’t fix it in 5 minutes. Criticisms stick and they will see that there’s something wrong with them everytime they look in the mirror, even if it for a split second. 7. Compliment people as much as you can, kindness goes a long way in such a cruel world. 8. Never ever forget where you came from no matter how high you reach, be as humble as you can, because you can lose everything in a second and you won’t have anywhere to go except back home. 9. If they want to leave for no reason, hold the door open for them. If they think you don’t deserve an explanation for why they’re leaving, then they don’t deserve a second of your time. 10. Love yourself, love yourself, love yourself. I can’t stress this enough, it is a long process, but every time you see a flaw in yourself, learn to love it, then watch yourself slowly change it.

Why must I suffer? Why should I be the one afraid to love again? Why…why me?
