I never needed you …

I never needed you to love me as I loved you.

I needed you to love yourself the way I loved you.

I needed you to see how the curves around your furrowed eyebrows go into the smile on your cheeks

How the glassiness of your eyes make me weep

How your courage comes out when you laugh and your strength exudes when you are at your softest

The tenderness in your armor

How every time you speak about something you love your body moves with your mind.

How mold your body into a perfect shape to fit mine , and the way it holds me like a puzzle

I see the boy who had to battle to hide himself that anger formed and hardened over the softness and morphed into a man , I loved that boy, I love that man ,

How the struggles of your silent mind torture you and twist you in confusion.

I want so badly to help you unravel

I see you, your weaknesses, your strengthens, I see your past your present and future.

I see you

The hopeful

The darkness

I see every dark corner, every shadow, every pice that makes you, and I love it, I love the good bad and ugly, i love you the way you ,should love you. Nothing scares me, nothing detours me. I don’t want to fix you, I want to love you so strongly that it illuminates light on to the clouded skies inside of you, so you may feel the sunshine and rays. #wordvomit

... Read moreIn today's world, self-love has become a crucial aspect of mental well-being. Many struggle to accept themselves fully, often focusing on flaws rather than the beauty within. Self-acceptance fosters resilience and empowerment, allowing individuals to embrace both their strengths and vulnerabilities. Practices such as mindfulness and positive affirmations can help reshape negative thought patterns. Engage in self-care activities, build supportive relationships, and seek professional guidance when needed. Remember, the journey to self-love is personal and unique for everyone, and taking the first step often leads to a lifetime of growth and happiness. Embrace your journey with compassion; it requires patience and commitment. By starting small, celebrating progress, and surrounding oneself with positivity, anyone can learn to appreciate their unique qualities and experiences, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and joyful life.

iPad or Laptop- I find myself using both. But I prefer the ✨IPad✨ why? It’s easy to carry and you can take notes anywhere you go. The battery life isn’t as good but it lasts me around 6-8 hours before I have to recharge it. If you want to lighten your bag I def recommend! Paper Textbooks or Ebo
