Little Did She Know In The Process Of Exploring Me She Would End Up Discovering More Of Herself.

Life's too long with anguish and too short with contentment.

And how easily we claim our love to be unconditional while knowing at the same instant that the greatest basis for loving someone more than our lives is to make ourselves exist.

The duplicitous world has set enough examples of how self-love doesn't portray selfishness rather selfishness portrays self-love.

i’m such a big fan of yours :)

romanticism is always going to hold a very special place in my heart, and within that place, lies an even smaller sector dedicated especially to your poems in particular. whenever i find myself staring at the ceiling with such existential dread it scares me, i long to stare at your poems instead. you are one of the reasons i find such beauty in the mundane and everyday. thank you, for everything you do, and it truly makes me feel.. i don’t know actually. its such an odd feeling reading your work, it makes me yearn to read every word you’ve ever written. i can never get enough.

Gosh, I was having a tough day at work throughout and you just made my night with this. I just can't thank you enough. Sending loads of love and positivity along your way <3

Acrostic: The first letters of each line read vertically downwards spell out my mother's name.

I discovered self-love that very day when I extended my arms to embrace your delusional form and ended up embracing myself.

I remember the day after writing the last exam of my grade 10th finals. I was convincing my father about my ardent interest in taking creative writing for further studies and heard him say, "The seas might look the best things to romanticise, so as long as you're hydrated, but in the fullness of time, you'll find 'tis the clouds, invariably not the seas, that can quench your thirst". And I realised beyond a shadow of a doubt how people are born romantics and made realists.

I would rather cherish nightmares than dreams in life for at least the former has the power to wake me up from my sleep.
