i dreamed a different dream everyday under so many wishes
I'm glad you liked it š tbh I have written a lot of them (my siblings and I have this poem thing every week where we write a poem related to a topic and share them at the end of the week with each other) I do often like my poems a lot but the only opinion I get are from my siblings and my bf. I'll share them with you a bit by bit ā¤ļø
this is so heartwarming, thank you for sharing this bit of your life with me. Writing and sharing poems with each other at the end of every week,, to share a piece of the canvas that your heart is and also seeing a piece of theirs through this beautiful routine sounds so so nice. I read the poem you've sent recently and it's needless to say how much i adore it too !
You
In hindsight I would do it all over again
The wrong, the right,every choice I made in vain
I would repeat all my mistakes and stumble along the way
If those mistakes are what led me to you
Then that's just my fate
In this twisted world of fate
There's no wrong or right
One must pay the price
And walk on tin ice to win their shrine
What's the point of living in bliss
If you have not paid a price
One can only appreciate something
They have forever yearned for all their life
I had known your soul the day we met
It reminded me of an old friend I had never met
You and I were fated to meet
The red string across your finger lead you all the way up to me.
I've been writing poems recently, would it be alright to send them to you anonymously?
It feels very tight. Ive loved him one-sidedly for the past 4 years, and its been 2 years since he left meāI even begged him. and now 2 years after that, I still feel the same pain. I blamed myself for not knowing how to give love, I couldnt love myself at that time.
i would give you a hug right now if i could, my words won't probably make any difference but i understand that it is heavy on you. You loved the person, their failure to see it is not your fault. It is easy for me to say that you will find somebody who will love you with the same intensity and devotion ( and you will) when you might be feeling like he was everything, but know that you gave your best and if they couldn't see the love that you gifted them with, maybe they were never the right person who could've kept that love safe. you are valuable :(
sorry to bother you with asking this, I just would like to know. if this bothers you, I apologizs. would you stay friends with someone who insulted / bad mouthed someone your extremely close to?
there is no need for apologies I do understand you might be in a fix and you're seeking an opinion ; if I am extremely close friends with someone, and here comes another person bad mouthing or insulting this close friend of mine, i personally wouldn't tolerate this 3rd person's behaviour towards my close friend. Even if this close friend has done something wrong or questionable, I would approach and confront them about it instead of listening to someone else bad mouth this friend. And the prospect of being friends with someone who's insulting my friend is out of the question, I'd not entertain that idea.
should you talk to someone your friend doesn't like? what would you do in that situation? not only talk but be extra friendly
I personally wouldn't, knowing that it would hurt the said friendās sentiments and as a friend shouldn't I be considerate of what my friend feels? I don't see myself going out of my way in being overly friendly with someone that someone close to me doesn't like / feels comfortable with. Hope this helps !
hello. i just want to say thank you so much for encouraging me to tell someone that i love them. i've been struggling with this for a long time until finally saw your tweet yesterday. that really encouraged me to do so. :) may all the good things always be with you. <3
How do you love someone loudly when the person doesn't even want to accept it? No matter how much you show and bare your heart
don't give anyone the power to take you or your love and care for granted, what you offer them should be matched with some form of reciprocation that you are able to understand. if they don't want to accept it, or are taking it for granted then i believe it's time to take a step back and reconsider
Every day, I find it hard to try and like the path I chose. It wasnāt really like this from the start, I had been positive with walking this one because I thought living with people who did would make it easy for me as I saw how it was for them. Now I realized that I do not fit in in the medical field, this path is for people whoās okay living their lives for othersā and Iām not prepared to do so nor do I think I can ever. I think I fit in somewhere freeā where I can explore life and live to the fullest. But, realizing doesnāt mean I can walk back and redo my choicesā I think iām a little too far from where I started and so nowā¦ I walk towards even if I donāt want to and it sucksš§āāļø
the way you don't even need to elaborate because although it's not my right to say I feel exactly the way you do but i feel a lot similar about the career path I find myself in right now. There is a heavy emphasis on following your heart because either way you do not know where you will end up but logically it is not always an easy walk turning back and starting over but simultaneously it is hugely frustrating because it is something but also not something you truly wanted and i wish i had something concrete to comfort you with but for now, this is not the end of the world , you have a lot of time ahead of you and life does not have to remain static. You have your own passions that can save you time and time again. I hope everything works out for you :( you're doing very well truly
I hope you're doing well, love. I'm feeling so grief-stricken today. I just found out that the person I love the most in the whole world is leaving the city in the next few months to study. Even though we only meet once a week, thinking about how I'll have to completely stop seeing them is crushing my heart. The thought of life without them (knowing theyāre not even mine) feels overwhelming. I canāt think or write without crying, and the grief is consuming my soul.
Itās really hard to share this with my close friends or family. They know I care about this person, but they shouldn't know just how deeply I feel. Anyway, do you have any suggestions for how to cope with this?
(Even I know already despite my yearning, it's totally impossible but to continue to long for that person but still)
to begin with, i want to tell you that even if that person is not yours, it does not take away anything from the love you hold for them or diminish its worth. Neither does it invalidate how you feel nor does it mean you aren't allowed to grieve their absence. Now, from what you've said this person is leaving in the next few months right ? so before they do, you still have time that you can spend with them even if it is once a week. I know, I know it is way easier for me to say than do it in reality but what if you tried to make the most out of the time you do have together? The present is heftier than the future we do not know of so stretch today a little longer. You told me that you care about this person ; a dear friend wrote a while ago that the best way to love someone is to let them know. If it is possible for you to make your feelings known, give it a go. Or at least that they are important to you and you care about them. Distance plays a big , big role but i believe the love we share with another person, even if they are oceans away, finds ways to overcome that stretch of distance between. You do not need to punish yourself for feeling a certain way, cherish today as much as you can and make the most out of it. Of course, i do not know the entirety of your relationship with this person or how the situation stands but if you can let them know, then do so. You still have months , and many more words you can tell them and within this time, you can also find ways together as to how to stay in touch. I hope your heart feels lighter soon. Grief is often a part of loving someone but grief is not all that there is to it. Sending u hugs š
Your writings really, and truly inspire me. I hope youāll always have the strength to write! I really appreciate youš
Whatās your go to alcoholic drink and can you give your recs on drinks too? Thankss
Tips to write for a beginner?
i am, obviously, no expert on this but you can start by simply putting down your thoughts on paper as they come. you do not have to start with vivid imagery or metaphors or complex sentences right away ; simply write down what you feel and think. Try to write everyday, even if it is something small or just a few lines. Keep a journal and make entries whenever you have the heart to do so ! what matters is that what you have to say holds the most weight, think of it as a medium to put forth your views / ideas / emotions. You don't have to be perfect. If you do write something, I am right here, eager to read it !!
i was feeling really down today but reading some of your writings somehow put my heart in ease. just thought i should let you know :) thank you for everything
Why the ones always with good intensions face hardships ?
this is a question i often find asking to myself as well but if we sit and dwell on it much too long it would do more harm than good, at least this is what I tell myself. I try not to let myself be changed by the mishappenings and continue to hold the same love as I do always. Kindness and love will always come back to you and maybe you and i are having to wait for longer than we'd like but i want to tell you that your good intentions even in the face of hardships say more about you than the things that youre having to unjustly face <3 take care š«
