People are who they are. You can't force someone to be who you want them to be. If you choose to stay, do it because you can accept them, not because you think you can change them.
The greatest gift you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.
Non-sexual forms of intimacy: Hugging, hand holding, watching tv together, sharing drinks, deep talks, sharing smiles, laying your head on their shoulder, linking arms, massages, playing with hair, tracing designs on backs/arms, handwritten notes, laying your head on their chest to hear their heartbeat, singing/playing instruments together, dancing, sharing food, brushing their hair, drawing/writing on one another, cooking together, reading together.
I've become distant from a lot of people—not because I'm bitter, but because I finally started to see things for what they are. I used to give so much of myself to people who wouldn't have even noticed if I stopped showing up. I cared deeply, checked in, made an effort-and slowly realized not everyone was doing the same. It hurts when you see how one-sided some connections really are, but peace feels better than forced energy. I'd rather sit alone with honesty than share a table full of fake smiles and hidden intentions. Distance doesn't mean I stopped caring—it just means I finally started caring for myself, too.
"I want you" Not for fun! Not to hurt you! Not to use you! But to make you feel happy, loved, valued, secured, supported, and appreciated Forever. ❤️
I am gentle with my heart, even when I stumble. I am soft with myself, knowing every step is part of my growing. I am patient when I fall and loving when I rise. I am open to every lesson, knowing nothing is wasted. I am thankful for each moment, even the hard ones. I am learning with grace. I am becoming more me. I am blessed by it all.
