It was the weirdest thing ever. I said to myself: why are people always so okay with not having me in their lives?

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.
NAJWA ZEBIANThese mountains that you are carrying, you were only supposed to climb.
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 ZEBIANIt is your choice to either stay halfway through or to continue your journey once you start it, to reach that destination of the person you know you can be.
NAJWA ZEBIANYou may be a disaster for a day, a month, or a year. Just don’t be a disaster forever.
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 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 ZEBIANYou stayed a short while, but you made me want to write about love, not heartbreak, again. Thank you.
NAJWA ZEBIANTo the heart in you, don’t be afraid to feel. To the sun in you, don’t be afraid to shine. To the love in you, don’t be afraid to heal. To the ocean in you, don’t be afraid to rage. To the silence in you, don’t be afraid to break.
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 ZEBIANMy heart aches in corners I did not know existed.
NAJWA ZEBIANWhen you know what are you are doing and have a clear vision of where you are going, you will not need to chase opportunities. Opportunities will seek you. Happiness will chase you. And, instead of being a choice, you will be the one choosing.
NAJWA ZEBIANRespect me, not because I respect you, but because I deserve your respect.
NAJWA ZEBIANI’d rather be disappointed by the truth than satisfied with a lie.
NAJWA ZEBIANIf you ever get the chance to treat them the way they treated you, I hope you choose to walk away and do better.
