There is a quiet tragedy to young love for those who did not receive the love they needed in childhood. Often, it is not the absence of feeling, but a kind of emotional blindness - a veiled alexithymia - where awareness struggles to register what the body already knows. Their first loves are often only recognised in hindsight - not because they did not love the other, but because they did not realise they already did.

The truth is, letting go is difficult. It doesn't matter how much your head wants to move on if your heart is still right there, stuck in the past, and filled with hope. Letting go doesn't happen overnight. It's not a linear process. There will be days when it doesn't hurt but there will be others when the simple act of listening to your favorite song or seeing their favorite brand of pasta at the store will throw you into a tailspin. And that's okay. It doesn't mean you're broken or weak. It means you're human. You can't quickly forget someone responsible for some of your happiest memories. Not like that not in the blink of an eye. It takes time, so be kind to yourself while you navigate the healing journey. They may be no longer in your life like they were, but they'll forever be in your heart. Be patient with yourself while stuck in the in between place the place between here and there. That place between wanting to move on and holding on tighter. Even though right now you can't see it through your tear-filled eyes, you'll get through this. I promise, you will. And on those hard days, remind yourself that when life doesn't give you what you want, it's because there's usually something better coming up next.

The kindest people are not born that way, they are made. They are the souls that have experienced so much at the hands of life, they are the ones who have dug themselves out of the dark, who have fought to turn every loss into a lesson. The kindest people do not just exist - they choose to soften where circumstance has tried to harden them, they choose to believe in goodness, because they have seen firsthand why compassion is so necessary. They have seen firsthand why tenderness is so important in this world.

You will not always feel like you don't belong. There is a place in this world for you and there is a place in this life for you. No matter how much you feel like you shouldn't be here, you should. No matter how much you feel like you will never be wanted, you will. You won't feel lost and displaced forever. You will find the friends who are meant to bring you happiness. You will find the people who will love you the way you deserve. You will find love in yourself that is greater and brighter than anything you could have dreamed of. You will find the simple pleasures that remind you how good it feels to be here. And you will find the great big joys that make you feel alive. You are not here by accident. You belong here and I promise, you will find your place.

I'm not perfect and I don't claim to be. I have insecurities, I get jealous, I overthink everything, I have trust issues, and some days I don't think I'm good enough. That's who I am I'm not afraid to admit it, but you know what?
I'm amazing in many ways too. I have a huge heart with lots of scars, a soul that's been through hell and back. Not everyday is my best, some days l ruin things and make mistakes, but I learn from them. I want to grow and be the best version of myself. I'm a work in progress and some day I'll make someone proud to call me their's.

Maybe right now, you're alone because whatever you need to learn about yourself can only be learned in solitude. Maybe right now, the pieces of yourself you're finding are-fusing a truer self into form, a kind of self that will become a more clear and recognizable match for the places and people and opportunities that are meant to come your way.

Take the long way home. Enjoy the scenery. Observe the way they wake up and take note of what makes them laugh. Know when it's about them and when it's about you. Find the spectacular in the mundane. Ask them to text you when they get home, to work, to their vacation destination. Be infinitely curious about how they live their days. Take time apart. Make room on the couch. Embrace the fact you don't know what's best for them. Set boundaries. Express gratitude. Practice trust, even when it's scary (especially then).
Keep both feet on the ground. Admit your mistakes. Accept their apologies. Throw away the scorecard. Kiss like you mean it. Ask more questions. Accept that it can be really hard to merge two paths; keep trying to anyway. Give them the aux cord. Give them the last fry. Give them the last word, even if you're really fucking pissed. Figure out what is worth the fight and what is not. Hold the door. Hold their hand. Hold space. Save them a seat. Notice the scattered gold flecks in their eyes. Tell them you're proud of them; tell them this often. Dance in the kitchen. Play hide-and-seek in the grocery store. Know you're lucky. Don't be hasty.
Point out the dip in the sidewalk. Offer your arm. Offer your heart. Offer your world. Know when it's time to lovingly let go. Know when you need to hang on like hell.

We don't appreciate what we have until it's gone

We don't appreciate what we have until it's gone. Warmth is important in the cold, health in illness, joy in sadness.
By getting used to the good, we take it for granted. The joy of life is in the ability to appreciate moments of happiness. Stop and be grateful for every moment.

Extra people

No matter how self-sufficient and formed a person you are, the people around you still influence your consciousness. If you spend time with people who don't strive for anything, your enthusiasm will decrease. If you communicate with those who are constantly developing, then your desire to achieve more intensifies.

Sometimes in life, situations arise that may seem like trials. But it is important to remember: these tests are not always aimed at revealing our weaknesses. They serve to help us realize our strengths. Every challenge is an opportunity to discover something new within yourself, to show courage and confidence. Don’t fear difficulties, because they help us grow and become stronger! Believe in yourself and your abilities!

I had no interest in growing up, or in any sort of career at all. But we get pressured to decide, so we pick a career just to pick something to fit in—and to make our teachers, parents, and elders happy. Then we wake up to that hysterical alarm clock fifteen years later and wonder:
Why the hell am I so damn miserable?
Because somewhere along the way, I traded my soul for a salary... and called it a life.

I don't really feel excited about life anymore.Nothing feels new. Nothing feels like it's for me. Days just come and go— same routine, same emptiness. l used to get excited about small things. A song. A message. A plan for the weekend. Now it's just... flat. Like I'm living, but not feeling much. It's not depression, not exactly.
Just a quiet kind of numbness I can't explain. Like I've outgrown parts of my old self, but the new version hasn't fully arrived yet. I laugh, I show up, I function. But deep down, l'm waiting for something anything-to spark that fire in me again. I miss being genuinely excited. I miss me. But maybe this phase is here to slow me down, to teach me how to breathe again before I run.

I want to be free like the wild beasts of the land, running on sand and dirt, to be held by the sun and the moonlight, under trails of forgotten bones, and campfires far from the city's cries. I want to be free like a tree's falling leaf, ceaselessly caressing calm winds and raging rivers, while being held by time and fate, bearing witness to God's creation away from man's mistakes the gray jungles of rotting concrete, where we built our own prisons, living, or partly living like wounded birds in a gold-plated cage, I want to be free but not like men, whose freedom is a house and a car, shackled to norms and ideas, I want to be free but like a rambling man, an outcast, a pariah, whose freedom are mountains, rivers, and seas.
