Have I become comfortable with my life for the sake of self-preservation?

As ‘distant’ as you make yourself seem, you will (oddly) do anything for a stranger. And not just because you feel morally obligated to but because it is actually something you love doing.

You realize that people are uncomfortable with discussing death because they are afraid of dying. And you can’t judge them for that. It can be a scary idea to sink your teeth into but you have found a solace in accepting the imminent.

We can only understand what being considerate really means, for ourselves and how our actions will affect others, when we define it for ourselves. It will depend on our personalities, our emotional well-being, and our specific circumstances.

Because,
When I am in love
I not only believe in stability, logic, and order
but, in passion, in chaos, and the impermanence of the heart’s decision.

“The heart has its reasons which reason knows not.”

Snapchat? Instagram? You have been constantly asked why you don’t have one.

You are well aware that it can be exhausting to be a dedicated friend, lover, or coworker. You know better than anyone else that self care should be first priority.

There is satisfaction to be found in the quiet. A walk in the woods or a rainy day at a library can rejuvenate you. These days are necessary and help shape us just as much as the unforgettable, chaotic days do.

Without you being the best kind of you, during my darkest hours, it makes it more difficult for me to be me. The best kind of me. The kind of me that could help you when you’re the one that’s hurting.
