Some inspiring words by Miles Carter
If you decide to love someone, surrender your heart
Remove the guards and relinquish their shields
You need to feel this thoroughly
'Cause love was never meant to be safe or measured
So love irrationnally.
Jump of a cliff without considering consequences
Love specifically.
Pay attention to the smaller details of the bigger picture
Love unconditionally.
Because there will be days when you don't like her
But love must remain
And in the event that love breaks you,
Let it break.
Do not close yourself off or shut yourself down
Your heart will be shaped and reshaped
But in the end, it will still be yours
As humans, we are blessed with the skill of adaptation
It kept us here for eons
You will adapt.
And if you decide to leave someone
Know that it won't be easy
Because losing someone isn't instant
It happens every morning you wake up thinking of them
And every night you fall asleep missing ther warmth
You will lose them over and over again
Until you are done with it.
So admit to this, knowing it's okay to leave someone you love.
Nostalgia is a liar in how it montages our best memories while omitting our truths
And the truth is
Not every experience is meant to last forever,
No one is entitled to any part of you for any more time than you comfortable sharing yourself
So be selfish.
You are a universe inside of a vessel
And not everyone is worthy of the experience that is you
You are not obligated to keep anyone in your life
So learn to experience fully,
And know when to let go.
And if you decide to stay
Let it be a mutual love that keeps you here
Do not sacrifice your own peace for the happiness of another in fear of hurting them
The will hurt, and they will heal
Just as you will hurt, you will find yourself lost in a world without them
But you will heal.
And in time, you will realize
You are living without the one you thought you couldn't live without.
