PEOPLE CAN BREAK US

That people can break us.

And it's even scarier that it's possible to break us in a beautiful way — in the most beautiful, even. 

By making us feel special.

With all words but only occasional actions.

By making us think we're their everything, and then nothing all of a sudden — sometimes at the same time.

The scariest part of it all, if you think of it, is that they could ruin us in the most beautiful way there is, to the point that repairing ourselves would feel strange.

And then we stop trying.

We stop fighting for ourselves.

We settle.

We start doubting ourselves.

We lose sight of the silver lining altogether.

And then we just go back, because it's familiar, because it's easier.

And then we just let it be; we stay, to go through it over and over again.

Probably a hundred times more than the last time.

WHEN A MAN REALLY LOVES YOU

Trust me, when a man really loves you he will take random photos of you.

He will love every small detail about you.

He will appreciate all the small things about you.

How you chew your food, how you blow your nose, how you hum and dance while listening to your favorite song,

How you smile when he says something cute about you, how solemnly you pray about the goals that you aspire for,

How you mess your bed by eating chips at 12 and how hyper and enthusiastic you are every time you go out of town and have dinner together.

I know you get insecure sometimes.

There are days you think you are ugly, fat, messed up and hard to love but best believe when a man really loves you he will accept all those flaws and tell you that there's no need to be perfect, because he loves you and he finds you amazing together with all those imperfections and everything that comes with it.
