“it’s Necessary For Me Sometimes Just To Be Alone And Quiet And Doing Nothing.”

¡En tu órbita!

i think of you constantly but not in a good way i wonder what it is about you that makes my heart feel like a ten-tonne weight dragging around at the bottom of my chest, when i’m sure i must have no impact on yours i question why it is i insist on finding any means necessary to get as close to you as i possibly can, when i’m sure you couldn’t give a f*ck where i was i dream about how it is we would come together, fingers finally intertwining and lips finally locking, when i’m sure you do not even register me in your half-asleep thoughts but mostly i think about whether it’s really you i’m thinking about, or the idea of you. because for the life of me, there is no reason you should be consuming my precious thoughts.

N.S., writing prompt #46: Write about unrequited love (via wordsnquotes)

One day I won’t be able to remember the tempting colour of your eyes, or even the way you used to laugh. I look forward to that day.

Person: hey, how are you?

Me: I’m okay, wbu?

Me internally: I’m not really okay. In fact I’m the farthest thing from okay. But I don’t want to say that I’m not okay bc then it’s going to be awkward. You’re going to question me and ask me what’s wrong and I’m not going to be able to tell you bc I don’t know what’s wrong. I feel this internal pain 24/7 and I can’t seem to find the source of it no matter what I do. When I’m not feeling numb I’m feeling like a nervous wreck and sometimes I rather kill my self on the spot then think about going out into public, being around people, or even being alone. And I can’t tell you I don’t know what’s wrong because that just sounds so stupid and like I can’t guess and say what’s wrong bc then if I do we end up having a pointless conversation of you trying to comfort me. Then not only do I have to hide my anxiety and depression while talking to you, but now I have to hide my anger that I have for no reason. So yes, I think it’s best if we just say we’re okay and hope for the best.

reminders

“you are allowed to be proud of the little things you achieve; like becoming better in a video game, baking really good pancakes or just getting out of bed today - not everything you do has to be world changing” - @gentle-reminder

“Don’t ever do something simply because someone else forces you into it. At times, people may try to make you do things that you may not want to do. However, you must respect yourself and only contribute to what you feel comfortable with doing.” - @thepowerwithin

“There will be other tests. Other assignments. Other jobs. But there might not be another chance to dance with your sister on her wedding day. You may never get another opportunity to sing along to all your favourite songs at a concert. There are no guarantees. So, forget the test. Miss the assignment. Skip the work day. Life isn’t made by those things. It’s made by living. By experiencing and enjoying every thing we can while we’re still here.” - @ifthenightcouldtalk

“Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.” - @psychofactz

I have so so so many more tips that I’d love to share, so perhaps I’ll make a part two next month aimed at a different audience, who knows? In the meantime feel free to ask me for advice or send me a message if you ever need anything! I’ll leave you with a sweet little meditation gif below :3

Much love xx -wil
