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 iā€™m so sorry i see this so late šŸ˜­ i think oneā€™s relationship with what they want is alwaysā€¦ interesting. iā€™ve known people who would freely say aloud what they want, without guilt or anything. iā€™ve seen people feeling guilty about wanting so much, thinking the world is chaotic enough without their desire, that it wonā€™t come true. that it might come true, but if it doesnā€™t, it will hurt so much. iā€™ve struggled with even knowing or admitting what i want because i always think thereā€™s no point in chasing it. if thereā€™s no point in chasing, thereā€™s no point in wanting it in the first place. and yes while things i wanted, i did get; after the vulnerable post iā€™ve made i also went through some things i want that i couldnā€™t get, some things i want, and i did get. and while itā€™s sad when i couldnā€™t get what i wanted, i realised thereā€™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 donā€™t. either way, iā€™ve wanted it. i can say, ā€œthat is something i wantedā€ and be proud of it. iā€™m glad my tweet makes you feel that love and happiness is out there for you, as well. i do think itā€™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’—
