Naturelovingadventurer - The Wondering Adventure

“I don’t know a perfect person. I only know flawed people who are still worth loving.”

— Unknown

sometimes we don’t want love. we want to be chosen. to be seen fully, in all our chaos, silence, and need, and still be the one someone reaches for without hesitation. real connection isn’t loud. it’s in the small things. how someone stays when you’re quiet. how they look at you when you think you’ve said too much. how they don’t flinch when you’re not easy to hold. that’s what we ache for. not perfection. just presence.

My heart, like a wild spring day.
