Because long flights show you the essence of a person and long flights can seem so short when you have the right person by your side.

And it’s getting harder to keep up with you. To wait for you. To defend you. To believe in you. To believe in us.

For the first time, I’m starting to realize that maybe I’m in the wrong place with the wrong people. Maybe everything feels wrong because this is not the right direction, this is not the right road.

To my unguarded heart. I miss you. I miss how you used to make decisions without thinking, I miss how you were so hopeful and optimistic and full of love. I miss who you were before they broke you.

When you say let’s be friends, you’re asking me to hurt you. You’re asking me to show you what you could have had but chose to lose.

You will learn how to put up with loneliness. How to embrace being alone with your thoughts, alone with your confusion and alone with your fears which consequently makes you fearless.

It doesn’t make sense to keep getting heartbroken when all we wanted to do was love. That we show our best to someone so they can show us their worst. That the more we like someone, the more they ignore us. That the moment you’re ready for love, it eludes you.

I shouldn’t have picked a man who would not pick me.

I want the world to have more room for people like me. The ones who don’t always get it right but they never give up. The ones who don’t always say the right thing but they say the real thing.

Virgo. You just never mess up. You’re annoying because you take every little thing into consideration which leaves your coworkers feeling inadequate and unprepared.

I want someone who knows it’s safe to be my friend but it’s dangerous to lose me as a lover. I want someone who’s not afraid of danger.

Leo. You need someone fearless, someone who is not afraid of anything, most of all, YOU.

But the truth is our pride is a camouflage of our insecurities, of all the things that hurt us, of all the ones that broke our hearts, of all the times we felt like we’re not good enough and of all the times we didn’t love ourselves.

Aquarius. They’ll talk to you about their ex or someone else they like.

She is not hard to love as people say, she just doesn’t want to be with the wrong person because when she loves someone, she loves them fiercely and fearlessly.

It’s hard to hold on to ‘someday’ but it’s harder to let go of the dream that day holds.

Don’t take time for granted. Sometimes you postpone important things because you think you have all the time in the world, but life runs faster than you think and in a moment everything can change.

But if you don’t try, you’ll still wake up every day wondering, you’ll still stare at your phone waiting, you’ll still ask yourself questions you’ll never know the answers to.
