now i understand why our parents often told us not grow up too fast. because they are aware of how challenging adult life will be, whereas we were clueless that once we reached adulthood, we would have wished to go back to our childhood.
do not rush the healing process; take your time. just as a flower took a while to grow into a beautiful creature.
recovery can be difficult and can take a lot longer than you expected. don’t be hard on yourself for getting burnt out. have compassion even when it feels like your not recovering “fast enough” or “correctly.” everyone is on their own path.

i wish those things hadn't happened. perhaps things would have gone differently in my life now.
when will i ever be able to have peace of mind again? the sort of peace that soothes my entire being, the kind of peace that radiates nothing but love and joyfulness to everyone around me, and the kind of peace that makes me yearn to live this kind of life again.
i don't want to get to the point where i will be drained because of the career.
why is it easier to still keep on wanting someone even if it hurts?
nights come devoid of the expanse of your silhouette: only the gnawing
winds
that reproach my bones what good is hope before remorse: when you hacked
your tresses before
my lips
could reach your
nape: with our perse detritus scattered i keep you as a divine shrapnel buried
deep in my pith
inferno: oblivious to your momentum swirling with a taste of non-existence
of
reticence
and you said:
there's no reason to obsess over fiery delights as the remoteness of memory
creeps like
bougainville
somewhere the sky is burning with your chrysanthemums and somewhere
it falls
through
my bones without you: without the taste of your tongue: the first light
won't ever make it here
before your urgencies consume
me and
everything that i will ever
touch
