i just saw your vulnerable post and i ran here to say thank you, i think i've been in a similar space mentally and it's really strange coming to terms with the fact that it's okay to want and dream and that it's actually possible to make them a reality. seeing you find love and happiness is making me think that maybe it's out there for me too. thank you so much for sharing :))

oh! omg i’m so sorry i see this so late 😭 i think one’s relationship with what they want is always… interesting. i’ve known people who would freely say aloud what they want, without guilt or anything. i’ve seen people feeling guilty about wanting so much, thinking the world is chaotic enough without their desire, that it won’t come true. that it might come true, but if it doesn’t, it will hurt so much. i’ve struggled with even knowing or admitting what i want because i always think there’s no point in chasing it. if there’s no point in chasing, there’s no point in wanting it in the first place. and yes while things i wanted, i did get; after the vulnerable post i’ve made i also went through some things i want that i couldn’t get, some things i want, and i did get. and while it’s sad when i couldn’t get what i wanted, i realised there’s some fun in this uncertainty. and honestly, whether it comes true or not, my want is still my want. i can do whatever i want with it. it is still mine, manifested or not. and i think i like thinking about it this way, now. i will let myself want something. i will get greedy, i will want to chase for it. and maybe i will get it. maybe i don’t. either way, i’ve wanted it. i can say, ā€œthat is something i wantedā€ and be proud of it. i’m glad my tweet makes you feel that love and happiness is out there for you, as well. i do think it’s good to believe in it. i believe in it. love and happiness is out there for you too, and even from me! i have love for you, for coming to my inbox and telling me this. i love you!! i hope happiness will always find its way to you šŸ’—
