peace and quiet
“I keep thinking about that night. I held you close like a secret, afraid you’d slip right out from between my fingers if I loosened my grip. You looked at me like some people look at the moon, or so I was told. In hindsight, I never felt like you knew me. You never knew me at all. And I think that’s what I’ve come to regret the most - I almost gave you everything and you gave me nothing at all.”

Good Morning Everyone! Every day may not be good but there is something good in every day.
Story of my life.
(Because sometimes the biggest threat to them… is them.)
➵ Pushing people away before they can leave.
➵ Saying “I’m fine” when they’re not, and getting mad when no one sees through it.
➵ Pretending not to care so they don’t get hurt.
➵ Quitting things they love when they start to go well.
➵ Staying in bad situations because at least it’s familiar.
➵ Ghosting when things get too emotionally intimate.
➵ Joking about real pain so people don’t take it seriously.
➵ Falling for people who are emotionally unavailable.
➵ Making plans they know they’ll cancel.
➵ Overcommitting to avoid dealing with themselves.
➵ Getting angry instead of being honest about fear.
➵ Comparing themselves constantly, to everyone.
➵ Never celebrating wins, only fixating on flaws.
➵ Sabotaging good relationships because they don’t think they deserve them.
➵ Chasing chaos because peace feels boring (or unsafe).
➵ Apologizing too often or never at all.
➵ Giving up halfway just to say “See? I told you I’d fail.”
➵ Playing the therapist friend but never talking about their own pain.
➵ Procrastinating until it's impossible to succeed.
➵ Acting like they don’t care about something they actually desperately want.
I may be a tiny speck of light In the cosmos.But I was not without purpose.
