When you feel empty, you should do something for yourself. Because the last time I felt this way was when I realised I started living for everyone else. Inattentively. I know it sounds cliche but crap happens. We get distracted by things, whatever it may be, you start to lose perspective, feeling empty and alone. Do things you have to and not because you want to. It just makes you feel like you’re running on empty. So start doing something for you, something that would strictly be exciting. 

I know what it feels like. I know how it feels to love someone so much that you start to believe that you love them more than the way they love you. You constantly feel like you are the only one putting in any effort, and the only one that wants to spend time with them. They do not show you enough, they do not tell you enough, and that is what makes you over think situations. I know how it feels to love, but I also know what it feels like to feel like you are the only one giving it your all and the only one that loves the most. I know what it feels like because I’ve been through it too. 

Meh.

Thinking back, I realised so many of the relationships in my life lack much substance, and I crave so much more. I used to think it was just the people that I associated myself with and that eventually the right people will gravitate into my life, but now I’m thinking that I suck and it’s my own doing for not nurturing my relationships the way that they should be tended to.

I love the fact that I am comfortable enough to be alone. I don’t waste my time trying to seek affirmation from people who don’t care. I don’t mess with people who don’t put in effort. I don’t need other peoples’ presence to feel whole. You want to leave? The door is open.

There’s a lot of unspoken pressure to keep liking the things you used to like and to keep dressing the way you’ve always dressed and to never question what you believe in and basically “be yourself” has slowly morphed into “be what everyone knows you as” but trust me when I say if you just give it up and simply make decisions and take actions based purely on what would make you happy, you’ll gain a very comforting sense of self peace.

Advice.

If there’s one advice I could give to anyone, it’d be that you shouldn’t let anyone tell you what to do. Never let anyone define you as a person. Not your best friend. Not your significant other. Not even a family member.

I always stress the phase, “be yourself.” Because it’s true, you SHOULD be yourself. Why should you live your life to satisfy others when they (probably) aren’t doing the same for you?
The thing that I’ve witness about humans would be that they always want to shape those around into people who just like themselves. But what’s a world with no originality?

Being yourself should never be crime. It should never be shunned and it should never be bashed on. You were born into this world to either 1) make a difference or 2) be the difference.

And in all honesty, ever since I accepted myself, I’ve lived a better life. Even if it meant leaving behind the ones who couldn’t accept me, for me.

"If a guy wants to be with a girl, he will make it happen, no matter what. So trust me when I say if a guy is treating you like he doesn't give a shit, he genuinely doesn't give a shit. No exceptions."

Tip of the day: It's okay to be alone.

Over a period of time, you will realise the people around you, have to leave, by choice or by death. Whether you like it or not, you have to face things alone.

It's okay to be alone. Sometimes I put in my earphones, have my favourite playlist blasting all day long and just forget the world and its happenings.

It's okay to be alone. We do need friends and companions. But reserve some quality time for yourself.

It's okay to be alone. Being alone is healthy. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by others.

It's okay to be alone. We all have that particular time where we really need to be alone.

Being alone simply means happily alone, not miserably alone. There is no better time than now for you to allow yourself to be happy. It is time to embrace yourself and all that you have to offer.

Be alone; give yourself the chance to learn about yourself, expand your soul and allow yourself to grow. Enable each chapter of your life to help you become a better you.

But remember to walk out of that me space when you've had enough of alone-time.

Sometimes it is a lot easier to write out how you feel than to tell someone about it.
