soft reminder 🧩💡

[shannyhere]

pockets are empty, dreams on hold

bills stack high, and the nights feel cold i chase the hours, but they slip away working for pennies, day after day

i need the money, it’s all i can see freedom’s a price that’s too high for me counting the minutes, waiting for more but the struggle’s the same as the day before

The most authentic relationships are forged in the crucible of doubt and support.

Franz Kafka wrote "All language is but a poor translation."

Now I understand why we are at a loss of words in the most intense moments of our lives.

"Rules for Living

1. Solitude will not kill you. you will endure and survive, even when alone.

2. Seek no approval from those who often forget you exist. 

3. Let go of the foolish hope that everyone will like you. 

4. You were not born in pieces; no one can complete what is already whole.

5. find joy in the chaos. 

6. Stop overthinking; let the story unfold. 

7. If it cannot be changed, release it; don’t waste your time on “what should be.”

8. You were not made to save the world,Jesus was. Save yourself, and that will be enough.

9. Laugh often, even in the darkest moments. love is the purest form of rebellion.

10. Turn away from the arguments of bad actors. silence is a deadly weapon. 

11. Meditate with the calm of a monk and pray with the panic of a preacher."

Someone PLEASEEEEEEE explain to me why these poets are allergic to using capital letters??? Genuine question because I am taking a Literature course and I want to strangle some people

In the shade

of an apple tree

I lost my innocence

& was born anew

Among grass

and bumblebees

something lost

was found again

I forgot

for a tiny second

oh bliss

-

how much it hurts

to be

& to be free

[I have so much to say to you,yet I never utter a word,my eyes meet yours but our fates have separated a long ago,I know,And yet I write about you ferociously,fervently,But yet I think about you more than anything]

I have not seen you for long

Yet the image of you persists in my heart

As if you were never gone from my gaze

As if you never left me admist the ashes of my own hate

And you walk on our path so painlessly

I can see I was the only one in love

For I cannot move forward a step,without thinking of you,your brown eyes and your warm touch

I cannot move forward thinking of the way around you,the whole world lost it's charm

For you were the only thing worth looking at,only thing to be worth admiring or living for

I cannot yet bring myself to take a different path

I have loved you and your footsteps too dearly,I follow into them,yet don't let myself get lost in your love

I don't want that pain again

But perhaps I never got rid of it

I write about you alot,but I think of you way more

For your glimpse,your laughter,or a shrill word of yours that hit me like an arrow strains me time to time

When I see you again,and your gaze meets mine

My heart shoots a shiver all over my body

For I loved you with all of me,and all of me yearns for you and your presence

Knowing I might never receive it,Knowing you might never get to read what I wrote for you

Keep your gaze on those boys,talk all you want of them

Yet tell me if they look at you the way I do

Tell me if they write about you the way I do

If they love you the way I do

If their heartbeats utter your name and their eyes hold your face

If their actions resemble yours

Tell me,my dear,If any other loves you the way I did,the way I do

To be so aware yet to fall into this pain of love,is a foolishness

Yet I'd be a loon for you,a hundred times more if I could

If my life was a book, meeting you would be my favorite chapter.

that dream you’ve been carrying in your heart is more than a wish. it’s your calling, and it will keep calling until you answer. some days, it will be a soft whisper. other days it will be a roar, impossible to ignore. it’s like a song only you can hear and it won’t stop playing until you sing it back. and when you do, it will unfold into something bigger than you imagined, transforming your life in ways you never expected 🐛🦋

i became a crybaby after you died

the grief hit hard, and i couldn’t hide every little thing made me break and weep memories of you cut deep in my sleep

but tears, they heal in their quiet way slowly, i’m learning to face the day though you're not here, your love still remains guiding me gently through all of the pain

If only people stop being influenced by all the unrealistic portrayals and bullshit they see on social media, a lot of relationships would be saved.

Still, there is this terrible desire to be loved.

Still, there is this horror at being left behind.

- Michael Cunningham

"You told me when you die,

You hope it’s magnificent, dramatic—

Like the death of a star,

Exploding into a ball of light

That burns for thousands of years,

Illuminating the dark.

I told you when I die,

I hope it’s peaceful, gentle—

Like the sound of snow 

falling to the earth.

Silent, unnoticed,

Soft in its ending,

Delicate in its undoing.

You said death is the

Second greatest thing to living,

And that God has no will—

No punishments, no wrath, no care, 

Only the quiet inevitability

We all face.

I said Living is the

Greatest thing I’ve ever known,

And if God exists,

He terrifies me—

For to live,

Only to face death,

Feels like punishment enough.

You told me,

'I just don’t want to die alone.'

I told you,

'I would rather have never been born

Than face death, 

But since I must,

I will face it with you.'"
