No, you’re not wrong 

to expect a love that respects and values you

 for the person you are.

 You’re wrong to expect anything less.

 Silence isn’t empty 

 It’s full of answers.

LOVE 

KNOWS NO AGE

 

 Er is geen spirituele taak

Er valt niets te bereiken

Er zijn alleen maar gedachten

die zeggen dat er

iets te bereiken valt

Hoe zou het zijn

zonder die gedachten?

We don’t ‘get over’ or ‘move on’ from trauma. 

We are forced to make space for it. 

We carry it. 

We learn to live with it.

 And, sometimes,

 we thrive in spite of it.

 You are not responsible

 for the version of you 

that exists

 in other people’s minds.

 

You are not your feelings. 

You just experience them. 

Anger, sadness, hate, depression, fear. 

This is the rain you walk in. 

But you don’t become the rain.

 You know the rain will pass. 

You walk on. 

And you remember the soft glow 

of the sun that will come again.

- Matt Haig -
