The truth is never comforting. The truth is the unspoken fears we are too scared to face, and his fears are written all over his body.

You survived because you had to, remember this applies to your mind too.

Your feelings are essential to who you are.

You feel lost in a mysterious land. The rush is so exhilarating.

I found pieces of you tucked away in the closet; Soft sweaters from changing season chills.

It’s relevant whether I’m in a relationship or not, but I need to be at a certain level in order to be able to fully show up for dating.

The minute I choose to not believe my worry, I dissolve it of its power.

It is for this reason that I constantly seek reassurance and apologize unnecessarily. 

Now I challenge you to never stop feeling and not just the extremes, but the ‘in-betweens’ too.

You don’t have to keep it all bottled up, and you don’t have to cage yourself in instead of letting yourself break free.
