This Is The Bittersweet Reality Of Pain, Because It’s Not Just Something That Hurts

We perceive pain as weakness but matter of fact is, going through pain and surviving is proof of strength and sustainability.

Perfection is a lie, the sooner you realize that the more effortless it will be to exist. And the more you dare fear the more you will actually live.

I’ll sit here and listen to you Telling me trivial things that mostly make you up

To anxiety: You guarded me; you were the kindest to me. I had a fucked up definition of kind.

You’re scared because the kind of safety you have now is all you have and beyond that, you have nothing.

Life will not treat you well and sometimes it will hurt you and you will hate it, but life doesn’t function like we humans do.

I almost made a guy cry once and then I went on to have a lovely rest of the day. Felt good to put the little shit back into his place.

I hope you never have to leave your home or taste the bitterness of injustice.

And for the first time since a time you couldn’t remember
You didn’t wish you were something else

I don’t want to risk losing you even if that means never actually having you.
