Choose yourself, not once, not twice...

Image
Please don't ever abandon  yourself again.  Especially not in the name of trying to be validated by a temporary connection.  Stop holding on to things that don't demonstrate respect for your value. Start investing in things that remind you of your worth.  You deserve so much more.  And don’t shrink yourself just to fit into spaces that were never meant to hold your light.  Stop explaining your worth to those committed to misunderstanding you. Silence can be dignity too. Choose yourself, not once, not twice, but every single time it feels uncomfortable to do so. Let go without guilt, walk away without fear, and trust that what’s truly yours will never require you to abandon who you are. Grow into someone who feels like home to their own soul. Because at the end of it all,  the longest relationship you’ll ever have is the one you build with yourself.

You know, everytime people say that I have changed, it takes me back to my younger self, the one who was afraid of change, the one who was deeply involved in attachments and the one who used to be overly invested in emotions. Yes, I surely have changed. And I'm glad that I did. But if you ask me, I couldn't have asked for anything better, but that exact silly child, who went through things alone and learnt to grow on it's own. ~Smaraki Sarangi

There are far too many silent sufferers. Not because they don't yearn to reach out, but because they've tried and found no one who cares. ~Richelle E. Goodrich

I'm not open with many people. I'm usually very  quiet and I don't really like attention. So if I like  you enough to show you the real me, you must be  very special. ~Unknown

It's so difficult to describe depression to

It's so difficult to describe depression to someone who's never been there, because it's not sadness. I know sadness. Sadness is to cry and to feel. But it's that cold absence of feeling that really hollowed-out feeling. -J.K. Rowling My take on it- That cold, hollow feeling can make you believe that nothing will ever change, that this emptiness is all there is. But even in that quiet numbness, there is still a small part of you that wants relief, that wants warmth again, and that part matters. Depression may take your energy, your colors, your sense of yourself, but it cannot take your ability to heal. Feelings can return slowly, like the first light before sunrise. You might not notice it at first a tiny spark of interest, a moment of calm, a breath that feels a little lighter but those small moments are signs that you are still here, still capable of feeling, still capable of hope. You are not broken. You are tired, you are hurting, and you are human. And being hum...

1:04am You have changed...

You've changed, 1:04 AM 1:04 AM You have changed. I used to think that you're the  one whom people say one in a million. But no,  you turned out to be the one among the millions. No, I don't know you anymore. No, you're not the  one from before. I thought you were different and yeah you turned  out to be different from my thoughts. A stranger?  M aybe this is only what I can call you from now on.  I don't find the time gap a problem. I think there  remains a connection through silences, when we  can't speak anything silence does. I came back with same affection but you didn't show any attraction. Yes, you have changed a bit  or a lot. No, you're not the one from before. -duskytale
