What we receive
is never enough
and what we give
is always a little too much.

Your talents mean nothing if you aren't confident.

Dear Future,
I used to yearn for you. I used to wish you'd come sooner. You were the reward I wanted without earning. Now as I live and breathe in a 16 year old body, I realise that you are a monster dressed like an angel. I dread you today, tomorrow and forever. The curiosity that used to consume me at a wee age has mutilated into fear of the unknown.
Why do you lure the likes of me into wishful thinking, only to let us down? What pleasure do you get out of emotional paralysis?
I assure you, I will learn to face you and your devious mind. But you will never be able to show me your face because the future never comes.
Yours truly,
A warrior in the making

A moment of vulnerability doesn't make you weak.
A moment of wavering faith doesn't make you flaky.
A moment of hatred doesn't make you loveless.
A moment of solitude doesn't make you lonely.
A moment of numbness doesn't make you dead.

Some people will remember you only on your birthday and when you die.
Learn to spot them.
They know how to camouflage the best.

I don't have a heart of gold.
I have a heart of diamond.
Good luck breaking it.

At first it was like looking at the tarnished glow of a candle in the distance, calming to the eye and soul.
I was curious about the joy of looking at it a little closely, a little clearly.
As I got closer, it started to burn my eyes and I realised why I was looking at it from afar in the first place.

If loving you made me a bad person, I'd happily be a sinner.
