when i tell you that the ocean isn't infinite it just looks like it is, what i am really trying to say is: this pain won't last forever, it just feels like it will.

Instead of having imaginary conversations with others, the way is to have real conversations with yourself?

THE BEAUTY YOU SEE IN ANYTHING IS A REFLECTION OF THE BEAUTY IN YOU!

[avokiddish]

Can we please stop associating being a good person with how much you're willing to suffer in silence for other people? You can be a kind person and still say “no, I don't have the time/ energy to help you with that." You can be a kind person and still say "this makes me uncomfortable, please stop." You can be a kind person and still say "I disagree and here's why." You can be kind and still say "I'm not okay with this." Being kind is about treating people with kindness and respect, not about being the human equivalent of a doormat.

Be the person who still tries.

After failure, after frustration, after disappointment, after exhaustion, after heartache, be the person who musters up the courage to believe that a new attempt can manifest a new outcome. Be the person who still tries.

Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop.

Main tujhse shatrani sa pyar karne ke liye bhi taiyyar hoon,

Tu bas mere saamne beth, tujse har baar haarne ke liye taiyyar hoon...

On some days, you will feel like it is all just passing by.

You'll go to a Subway and suddenly remember how you were at the same spot for your first date, a few years ago. You'll board a bus and remember how your dad used to be there right by your side wherever you wanted to go, because he was scared that you might get lost. You'll listen to a song and remember how you poured your secrets out to a stranger at 3 am, and cried out to the same song the day it all fell apart. You'll see a supermarket and suddenly go back to the time when there used to be an ice cream seller at the same spot.

On these days, you'll understand how, most things in the tiniest of moments, are so much more than a gift.

On these days, sitting somewhere in a chair, flipping through pages in the back of your mind you'll be faced with a realization that comforts. You'll understand that despite trying to find it all your lives, love is not something you stumble upon.

It is something you carry.

ishq raato se tha aur hum din k ho baithe,

thodi c dhoop k liye hm chand ko kho baithe.

[avokiddish]

when your pet comes to you from another room, the preceding moments meant that they were alone somewhere and thought about YOU, an animal brain literally thought about you and came to you to see what you were doing. that's love, unconditional.
