i want a love that is calm.

that intentionally chooses kindness in all that it does.

a love that speaks with softness. a love that moves gentle.

i want a love that i can sit beside without feeling the need to be in constant verbal communication. a love where the air around us feels serene as though time moves differently.

a love that wants to learn and understand, where i am coming from in the words i speak and the actions i partake in.

i want a love that feels warm. the kind of love that feels as though you’re soaking in luke-warm water, the kind where your body feels as though simultaneously, is floating but is anchored steady.

a love where the fiery flames of anger do not exist. a love that won’t burn nor leave scars behind if it had to leave.

a kind of love that knows that we are a team.

a love that understands that we grew up in different conditions and may not share the same feelings and the same mindset over everything and that, it is okay for as long as our core values are the same, it will all work out in the way, it is destined to.

a love that sees me.

i want a love that is observant and empathic. a compassionate love. a love that helps me tidy and declutter my space when i’m too overwhelmed with life. a love that sees and understands the subtle and silent cues.

i want a love that would graciously accept me for the woman i am. i want a love that does not feel the need to put me on a pedestal. a love that does not demean or belittle.

a love that eventually becomes so natural, that it feels as though we had met and loved deeply in another life.

i want a love that is endless.

a love that is calm.

for the longest time, i couldn’t understand the phrase; “everything that happens, always happens for the best”. because the question that arises right after is, “then, what about all the terrible things i’ve been through? what happens to all those things? do they become invalid?”

having made it through each and every moment in my life where i believed i wouldn’t be able to make it, clinging onto just about anything to get me through that minute, or day or week - i now understand that while all these awful things do happen, and while we don’t deserve any of it, and while we could’ve been better off without,

at the end of the day, what comes out of the healing after having gone through the trauma is the patience, the discipline, the empathy and the ability to be able to connect to other individuals on a deeper level.

everyone in this entire existence goes through terrible things. but what differs is the way we go about our healing. not a single person knows what they’re doing and everyone is kind of just figuring it out as they go and finding how to navigate through this existence the best they can. by absolutely refusing to allow that trauma, the hurt that we’ve endured, to turn us into someone we are not, we are able to flourish a whole lot more.

we become equipped on how to handle similar situations and if not that, we atleast know that we make it through. because we reached the lowest point we could possibly reach and made it out.

i’m much more careful with my energy and i now prioritize myself. i’m still learning. i still mess up. i’m still doing the best i can, noticing and acknowledging the little victories because while they’re not of a grand scale, they’re still very much victories. and honestly, even if something does come up, there’s always a way to navigate through it. there has to be. if you cant find a solution, it means it’s out of your control. and if it is out of your control, you let it be.

the only factor that you can control is you. and i think that is incredibly powerful. while, it is scary having outside factors influence life, if you’re able to respond adequately, you’d be able to navigate through it and be done with it without it having completely deplete you.

for the longest time i thought the light in me would only become dimmer. but i now realize that for as long as you keep going, that light will only get brighter, as you keep taking steps in your healing and as you keep persevering.

and on the days where the light feels as though it’s wavering or the most dim it could possibly be, know that it is not because you’ve regressed in your healing journey but rather, just part & parcel of that healing journey and know that this feeling shall pass.
