Rania Naim

She doesn’t miss you because she doesn’t miss rejection, she doesn’t miss heartbreak and she doesn’t miss questioning herself every night.

It’s the beginning of a new life that you’re not in. It’s the beginning of me not choosing you.

I wish I didn’t know better because knowing better makes you realistic and logical and calculated. It makes you curb what your heart really desires. It makes you leave.

I’m slowly learning that it’s time to just be the person who loves more and cares deeply and tries harder.

This is me kicking you out of my heart. This is me making room for someone else. Someone who is everything you’re not.

But at least when I look back, I can say that I showed you who I really am. I showed you all of me and it just wasn’t enough for you.

You can be exceptionally good at something, even if you don’t have the right training, the right education or the right experience. It’s called talent.

Because life doesn’t stop here. It doesn’t end because you left.

Here’s to all the times we got it wrong, loving those who never cared, wanting those who are unavailable, trying to catch those who run away.

We ignore the red flags because we think we can handle them, we think we can live with a few unanswered texts or flaky behavior or a few months of confusion but we can’t.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) You showed them your clingy side way too soon. An Aries likes to be challenged and also likes to determine the pace of the relationship.

Maybe cities are a lot like relationships, if it’s not meant to be, it will never feel right, it will never feel like home, it will never work no matter how hard you try.

You only see it when they step away from the crowd and become who they really are; away from everyone, away from the appearances, away from the pretenses and away from what people expect them to be.

Fixing someone means staying when they’re used to people leaving.

I’m slowly learning that there are no timelines in life; just learning, living and evolving.

You were made for sturdy hearts that lock you in once they’ve found you. You were made for hearts that know how to keep precious hearts like yours safe and protected.

What does the universe know that I don’t? What is it about you and the universe?

This is me getting used to fighting alone. This is me getting used to walking alone at night without waiting for you to lead the way.
