cause you never think that the last time could actually be the last time. you think there will be more. you think you have forever, but you don't. @thelostdiary ━━━━━━━━━

Happy World Poetry Day 🕊️

Stop chasing the idea of a ‘perfect love’, instead - chase the self-love, chase the ability to become the best version of yourself. Chase your dreams, your hopes and wishes. Chase everything that will stay when love leaves, and hold on to it, for you must when it does. @thelostdiary ━━━━━━━━━

i believe in poems, as i do in haunted houses. we say someone must have died there @thelostdiary ━━━━━━━━━

i realised. people never loved me for me. it was just the way i showed up for them everytime they needed me. the way i held them down & had their back. the way i was always the stable one. the way i never left them alone when they were anxious. the way my mindset stimulated theirs. the way i looked past their flaws & wanted the best for them without expecting anything in return. i'm this person because ive always wanted a person like me in my life. @thelostdiary ━━━━━━━━━

my heart is my home. everyday guests visit me. sometimes it's happiness, sometimes sadness, sometimes success & failures, sometimes fear & anxiety. sometimes disappointments & betrayals. but i always make sure that im a great host. afterall a guest is a guest. nobody is going to stay. imagine an ocean that's unfair towards its waves, doesn't let them pass by. could it call itself an ocean? NO! ocean stays calm & lets everything happen because what's happening in front of it doesn't define it. @thelostdiary ━━━━━━━━━

Sometimes you need to focus on the small battles first. Like gathering enough courage and getting out of bed even if you don't want to. Like letting loose the tangled mess of your hair. Like going to the grocery store to grab some fruits and veggies. Like cooking for yourself. Like putting your clothes in the laundry and getting in the shower one day at a time. Sometimes you need to ignore other people's progress and focus on your own steps -like meeting up with a friend over coffee. Like applying to a new job that you, or booking that holiday. Like smiling at your reflection in the mirror and getting dressed even if you're not going to step out. Like stepping out anyway to get some fresh air, to browse around the aisles of shops and cafes that used to make you happy. Like moulding back into your old life, but as a new you. It's not about jumping head-first into your healing. It's about the tiny actions each day that bring you closer to feeling warm again. It's not about waking up one morning and feeling miraculously healed. It's about moving forward-step by step- as gently as you can. It's about letting your heart heal as softly as it can, and the way it should. That's what it's about. @thelostdiary ━━━━━━━━━

i don’t ever want you to hide yourself and close the door behind you when you’re in pain, i find it very unfair how we laughed together but you cried alone @thelostdiary ━━━━━━━━━

if you have someone who found your heart in pieces & brought you to peace ! you're truly blessed <3 @thelostdiary ━━━━━━━━━

7 tips to improve your communication skills: 1. Body Language: Your body language communicates a lot about how you're feeling and can influence the way others perceive you 2. Be clear and concise: When you're communicating, make sure your message is clear and easy to understand. 3. Active Listening: Pay attention to the other person and really try to understand what they're saying. 4. Keep your posture open: Avoid crossing your arms or legs, which can make you appear defensive. 5. Make eye contact: When you're speaking to someone, make eye contact and hold it for a few seconds. 6. Be aware of your tone: The way you say something can be just as important as the words you use. 7. Keep an open mind: Be willing to see things from another perspective and be open to others' opinions. @thelostdiary ━━━━━━━━━

emotional abuse isn't always yelling and cursing. it can be as simple as ignoring you and withholding affection. you deal with this for years and it'll change you @thelostdiary ━━━━━━━━━
