You see, in love, you don’t get what you want. You get what you think you get. - Najwa Zebian

This is when you realize that sometimes, just sometimes, you need to close your door so others can knock on it. Sometimes you need to stop shining so others can notice your existence. Sometimes you need to stop answering unasked questions so others can start wondering.

They won’t try to shame or pressure you into doing what you’re not comfortable doing or what doesn’t resemble you. They won’t think of how your actions reflect on them. They meet you where you are, exactly the way you need to be met.

Life is not fair,
but
we can choose to be
fair humans
even if life
or other humans
choose to be
unfair
to us.
