The fragility of joy

 

The fear of losing happiness when everything feels perfectly right, and you somehow believe that happiness cannot exist for too long.

IF

 

The only difference between us was: you wanted to step back, thinking 'what if,' and I wanted to step forward, thinking 'even if.’

Alone

 

Being alone doesn't mean you're lonely. It means you are taking the time you needed to reflect, reset, and recharge yourself.

SHE

 

She is innocent, but never a fool. She cries often, but she is never weak. When she finally shines bright, you will miss the cold of winter—that is how scorching her strength can be.

She can burn your world down if you push her to show her power. But she can be a fairy, too. If you are gentle with her, she will become the fertile garden where your flowers bloom.

Dear Me

 

I don't care about the smile on your face

while there are tears hidden behind your eyes.

I miss you so much, and I just want to hug you tight.I know you're going through a lot,

yet you choose not to tell me. 

I want you back—

the way you used to talk to yourself,

the way you enjoyed your own company,

the version of you who was never scared

to be herself out loud. 

Please, I want you back.

Dear Diary

 

You know, since the day I started writing, you have been the only one with whom I’ve shared all my secrets, sadness, and joy. Even though I know you don’t speak, you listen and feel everything. When my tears fall on you and make you cry, you never complain; you never make me feel like I’m burdening you. You have never made me feel lonely, and I just want to appreciate and thank you for existing in my life.
