The Choice Is Yours-

Passing thoughts, 

pass me by:

1.Love is not a disposable concept. 

2.Never make decisions based off of loneliness.

3. Be with someone who makes you happy; 

be that someone that makes you happy.

4. You have to make peace with yourself 

before you can fully spread peace outwardly. 

5. Seeing things for what they are 

doesn't always align with what actually is. 

What we choose to see is a reflection of how we feel.

We are the creators of our heaven, of our hell. 

Remember this during both dark and joyous times.

6. Happiness isn't situational. 

Happiness starts from within. 

Just as misery can eat you alive, 

happiness can do the same. 

*The choice is yours.*

Chasing Shadows

Sometimes 

what  
you
want 

and 

what  

you 

deserve 

are on  a 

polar 

opposite 

spectrum. 

Chasing 

shadows

only 

leaves 

you 

alone

with thoughts

even darker

than the 

shadows 

you 

are

chasing.

You have to love you first-

Missing someone out of habit isn't true longing.

It's a commonplace misconception of your emotional state.

Nostalgia of what once was, placing focus on the potential they once had.

If it is constrained, if it is self fabricated, it isn't worth your time nor energy.

Loving someone out of comfort isn't love at all.

It comes to a point where you must accept that you are worth the love you omit to yourself.

In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter if they ever loved you at all.

In the end,

all that truly matters is one thing

...

You 

have to 

love you

first.

We are here. -

It is difficult to capitulate
to acceptance of
awareness of
not being the first
(or)
knowingly the last
as far as romance goes,
while experiencing what romance is.

Until you do.
Until you are.

Once you know,
you know.

Welcome home.

We are here.

Love is a haphazard :

Romance mimics utopia.

In retrospect,

it has always been 

commitment that is craved the most.

Dependability,

not codependency.

An unequivocal love.

Reliance and resilience 

are not the same thing.

(Inevitably-) flawed.

I am,

you are.

There is (something)

so undeniably beautiful, 

yet (frightening)

about raw uncut emotion

...

The fluidity (is) blatant.

However, 

it is safer to fear feelings

than (to feel) them.
