And all life works at death.
Ted Hughes, Collected Poems: Uncollected (1967-70); from ‘A Crow Hymn’
Too many times:
- you’ve drowned yourself for people who can’t swim in your love language.
- burnt yourself for people who can’t put out their own flames.
- abandoned yourself for people who pick and choose when to open their doors to you.
Too many times, you’ve put yourself last.
“Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.“
― Cyril Connolly
we are so deep into our own perspective sometimes, into the reality we subjectively perceive, that we are closing off to other realities. that we don’t see any other truth except for our own.
and at our worse, we’re imposing it on others too, not just on ourselves from a fearful place. it is often a traumatized/triggered truth, and we’re not aware of that. please, be more open to other truths. be more accepting. take baby steps and try. try to see why you are holding on so tightly to your reality… are you scared to realize it may not be what you like or want deep down, or that what you believed was somewhat uncorrect? that you were possibly wrong? does it feel too unsafe, also to let go?accepting another reality doesn’t mean denying your own reality, nor giving the other one the power to cancel our own. it means being aware of the existence of something else, that could be as equally important and valid as your own for someone else. and maybe one day, for you too. don’t let this thought scare you. let other realities be. they won’t come after you. and if they will, the certainty you have about your own reality will comfort you and protect you. unless you will need to change something. but for now, don’t mind that. just focus on acceptance.
just remeber you don’t have to be always right and perfect. to be the one holding the only truth. you can be wrong or uncorrect. you can change. things can be different. and there can be more than one truth and reality and they can coexist. also inside of you. it’s fine. it’s all good. let them be.
Its okay if you’re afraid of what the future might bring you. It might be scary because it’s so unknown, full of mysteries and filled with new things you don’t know how to cope with and handle yet. But just know that you don’t have to be afraid, i always think of it like this: everything i don’t know yet, might be a future thing im going to love. Thinking like this might take away a lot of stress and might even make you excited when having to deal with new experiences and future. Things like meeting new people, going to new places and learning new things.
Just know, that you’re going to do great in the future.
