“

I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, but when confronted with your reality, I am scared.

“

You’re allowed to be scared about leaving old situations behind. Even if you’ve been desperate for an escape, it’s still normal to hesitate before walking away from everything you’ve known.

“

I see a creamy beige house with off-white blinds. A nice porch that has a wooden swing fit for the two of us. A house with a backyard, a garden filled with flowers.

“

You don’t want to end up falling deeply in love with someone and dedicating years of your life to someone, only to wake up one day and realize you have completely different ideas of happiness. 

“

You attract who you are, not who you want.

“

Aside from only really being able to function in the present, your gut instinct is also quiet. The “little voice” within is just that… little. 

“

To be honest? All I want is a simple life.

“

You own up to your mistakes and take responsibility for your past, but you do not allow them to morph into a frightful, self-fulfilling prophecy.

“

I will wait for you.

“

Past hurts linger and affect us just as much as happy memories do.
