A person raised in love and another raised in survival, will never see the world the same way.

“don’t ever beg for a friendship or relationship with anyone. if you don’t receive the same effort you give… lose that contact”

“One of the hardest decisions you’ll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.”

“You deserve a relationship that enables you to sleep peacefully at night.”

“She remembered who she was, and the game changed.”

There is a kind of sadness that comes from knowing too much, from seeing the world as it truly is. It is the sadness of understanding that life is not a grand adventure, but a series of small, insignificant moments, that love is not a fairy tale, but a fragile, fleeting emotion, that happiness is not a permanent state, but a rare, fleeting glimpse of something we can never hold onto. And in that understanding, there is a profound loneliness, a sense of being cut off from the world, from other people, from oneself.

Always and forever grateful that i have been blessed to come across people in my circle older by 10/20+ years, people who walked the path long before me. Grateful for the chances to hear their stories, observe, analyse and conclude for myself. I came out with countless insights but there is one i deem so valuable that i always repeat to myself and i wanna share it:

“My brain hums with scraps of poetry and madness.”
