Only human

I am a human. I make mistakes. I gossip. I judge. I can be hypocritical.

I don't have everything figured out.

I look for love in the wrong places. I end up hurt or used or left stranded. Or just the opposite.. I use, I leave, I hurt.

I often feel like I have to be so strong for others, but now I am feeling weak.

I escape into books and poems and movies and music because sometimes these stories are easier than the life I have made for myself.

Maybe this is how it is for everyone. Maybe not.
But I need to stay on these escapades just a little longer.
My heart needs a break.

  1. Thank you for becoming vulnerable. More people should try it. We are all in this together with our struggles and fears. We need to be building each other up.

    Love you sweet flower,

  2. You don't always have to be strong. In fact, I think it's STRONGER to admit to yourself and others when you don't feel so strong, rather than pushing through everything and pretending everything's okay. I'm proud of you and I believe in you, girl. <3

  3. I think it is like this for everyone, but only some people, like you, are strong enough to admit to it. You might feel weak, but admitting this is a sure sign of such strength. Hope you feel better soon X

  4. You are amazing!! Never forget that. You're an inspiration to me and way more people than you even know. Your vulnerability, to which Renee alluded, is a gift, and it's one I am trying to cultivate.

    Love you love you!
