Let’s keep pretending that we’re not lonely
That you don’t sleep at night
Wishing I still cared
That I don’t dream of you
And the touch of your hand

You might think that rejection means you’re not good enough, but rejection means you’re better than whatever or whoever rejected you.

I know you’re always wanting more from those who keep wanting less.

Pisces. You’re always late; to the office, to meetings, to your lunch hour with your boss. You’re never punctual and that makes it hard for your boss to trust you to show up before he/she does, and is always apologizing to clients for your chronic lateness.

He only wanted to see me on weekdays.

I hope karma visits you as a ghost of everyone you’ve ever hurt and everyone you didn’t confront. I hope karma doesn’t destroy all of you, I hope it destroys you piece by piece so you can feel the excruciating pain of each piece and remember who this piece belongs to.

They make you doubt yourself. This should be the biggest red flag for you. If you don’t know where you stand, or you’re confused and wondering if you mean anything to that person, then it’s a warning sign that this person isn’t giving you the reassurance and satisfaction you need because they’re probably not sure about you or talking to someone else.

When you miss me, punch yourself. For all the words you left unsaid, for all the texts you didn’t send, for all the calls you ignored, for all the questions you evaded, for all the conversations you didn’t want to have and for all the moments that you ruined when you weren’t fully present.

It only hurts when we give that love to the wrong person, when we convince ourselves that we can make someone reciprocate our feelings.

Gemini. Your extra friendliness. You make friends with anyone and everyone which can sometimes take a toll on the quality time you spend with your friends because you end up talking to strangers all night. It can be hard for your friends to get a hold of you for more than 10 minutes before you find someone else to socialize with.

Because it’s always the tough times that reveal to you who you need the most and it’s no surprise that I need you.

Losing your job could lead to a better job, ending a relationship can lead to a better relationship, losing someone can pave the way for deep self-reflection and make you a better person. There is always a rainbow after the storm.

Be a star in the sense that you don’t need validation or confirmation from anyone that you are a star. A star just knows its worth, a star knows it’s a star whether people agree or not. Be a star in everything you do and watch the whole galaxy make room for you.

Those who care, will find ways to be there and those who don’t will find ways to run away. It’s as simple as that.

You’re allowed to leave any story you don’t find yourself in. You’re allowed to leave any story you don’t love yourself in.

We still get mad when things don’t go our way, we still don’t like hearing the word ‘no’ or getting rejected, we still hate it when we want someone who does not want us back and we still hate feeling ignored or neglected. We still don’t know how to deal with abandonment.

Air. If your element is air, you’re a dreamer, a profound thinker and you’re searching for this one sensational love. You don’t settle for anything in life and like air you’re always changing to become perfect and find the perfect person for you.

I almost forgot how to talk to you. I don’t know how to respond to a stranger who was once a lover. How do we go from exchanging secrets to exchanging small talk? How do we talk about nothing when we used to talk about everything?
