Broken wings are a sign of struggle and strength.
NAJWA ZEBIANBroken wings are a sign of struggle and strength.
NAJWA ZEBIANMy home will never welcome me if I don’t welcome me.
NAJWA ZEBIANTo you, it is much easier to not say a word. To me, I choke on my words if I do not say them. What truly hurts me is that you know that your silence infects a storm in my mind yet you choose it oh so easily.
NAJWA ZEBIANYou were my home for so long. Now I realize that humans cannot be homes. If homes can leave, then they are not homes.
NAJWA ZEBIANMy heart aches in corners I did not know existed.
NAJWA ZEBIANYou stayed a short while, but you made me want to write about love, not heartbreak, again. Thank you.
NAJWA ZEBIANDo you know what it feels like to be wounded and told that you caused the wound to yourself by choosing to be where the harm landed?
NAJWA ZEBIANYour opinion of me does not equal my self-worth.
NAJWA ZEBIANNever wish them pain. That’s not who you are. If they caused you pain, they must have pain inside. Wish them healing. That’s what they need.
NAJWA ZEBIANLetting go does not mean that you are giving up ir that you are weak. It could just mean that you are no longer allowing what hurts you to control you.
NAJWA ZEBIANOwn your healing as you’ve owned your pain.
NAJWA ZEBIANRespect me, not because I respect you, but because I deserve your respect.
NAJWA ZEBIANWhen pain knocks on your door, welcome it. Let it in. Sit with it. Have tea with it. Understand it. Then let it leave.
NAJWA ZEBIANDon’t break a bird’s wings and then tell it to fly. Don’t break a heart and then tell it to love.
NAJWA ZEBIANIf you love someone, you love them. You don’t allow your pride to stop you from expressing your love to them.
NAJWA ZEBIANSelf-love is loving yourself exactly as you’d love the person you love the most. And that love actually feels like love and looks like meeting your own needs.
