Gone

When you remember me, it means that you have carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that you can summon me back to your mind even though countless years and miles may stand between us. It means that if we meet again, you will know me. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart.
For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost. When I'm feeling most ghost-like, it is your remembering me that helps remind me that I actually exist. When I'm feeling sad, it's my consolation. When I'm feeling happy, it's part of why I feel that way.
If you forget me, one of the ways I remember who I am will be gone. If you forget, part of who I am will be gone.

Stay

I hope you find the courage to step away from the things that aren't good for you.  I hope you find the strength to let go of the person who feels like "the one" but doesn't work out for you, all along.

I hope you find peace in accepting that "just because it's beautiful, doesn't mean it's meant for you."  And in the end, I hope you still believe that your heart, your feet, and your dreams will eventually find a place where they truly belong.

My Inner Self 🩷

The truth is that people believe they know you, that you're okay or that you're in a position where you're proud of yourself and optimistic about how things are going for you.  They believe you're fine because they interpret things based on their perception and connect certain facts they believe they are comfortable with to paint a picture of you based on their vision, unaware that this is all an illusion. Because you are aware of how exhausted you are from having so many thoughts racing through your head, you are weary of showing empathy, you are tired of being the one who understands, and you are tired of the weight you are carrying inside your chest so you only divert on particular things in order to survive.  And if you make just one error, all the good things you accomplished in the past is lost forever.  Let people misunderstood you Allow people to perceive you negatively and incorrectly.  You're living this life to be authentic and not to develop into a perso...
