People Change

-
people grow, people change.

that’s how it is with us. we used to believe in “if they want to talk to you, they’ll take out time for you.” now, you know, that’s just not possible on most days.

when you are free, they are working. when you’re busy, they are available. and when you both get some free time, you just want to be able to spend it with yourself.

maybe watching a movie or just scroll Instagram.

we grew up watching movies that made us believe an unrealistic version of love. the truth is that love is so different. it’s calmer, less passionate, and less dramatic.

they’d ask if you missed them, and the answer should be – yes, you did. but so many times, that’s not true. you were too busy to think about them, or anything else.

and if you can tell that your partner honestly, you know you two have something special and candid, something most of us keep looking for in a relationship.

and if you have that, hold onto it.

Future

Thinking about the future can sometimes be scary. I feel like some people have their lives figured out while I, on the other hand, feel like I am trying to still find my place in the world. Sometimes, I look at the sky and pray for a sign just to know if I am doing okay. Yet, there are times that I just have to do the best in anyway I can. I appreciate the conversations I have with people who used to be on the same place I am now, and it feels comforting that it's not impossible to make it. I am optimistic that I, too, will find my purpose in life. A purpose that would make me wanna wake up in a morning with a warm smile to my face. I know such a day would feel like standing in the rain after years of drought. It would feel like beholding the light after years of being without one. I've been told that fortune favours the brave. And so, I feel maybe it's okay if I don't have everything figured out. Maybe it's okay to not know all the answers right now. I...

Not your cup of tea

i am not everyone's cup of tea and i will never be. people might misunderstood my choices, but it is never my thing giving out explanation when i know i don't owe them one. that’s why i let people see me as how they see. define me as how they define me.  i have so much more to prove to myself. i am yet to understand how things work for me, and yet to define my purpose. negative feedback will never be out from the narrative but i no longer want to leave a space for them to get stuck in the corner and drown myself with the thoughts of believing in them.  i am into nurturing and feeding my soul with peace, growth, pure connection and happiness. and now they asked me, should they be enough reasons why i rarely have many people around?  i always choose to whom i want to show my garden to, and it's not necessary to let everyone in.

Imissyou

I miss you―the way you smile over average jokes. How you are carefree and excited about what’s not yet there. I miss the way you’re so full of passion and compassion. How you don’t care about making mistakes because you have all the time in the world to correct them. I miss the way your confidence set the stage. How your drive takes you places you’ve never been before. I miss the way you’re out there, willing to learn and willing to see where your dreams will take you. You were so young, skipping through life's meadows. I miss the way you savored the weightlessness of your existence. And now, the new version of yourself is tired, has veered off course, and is just here to survive rather than make the most of your time. I know you’re lonely, and you wish you could pull out your old brave self, to let go of your inhibitions and not worry about making mistakes. And it’s ironic to feel this way. I miss you, but I am you.
