I drink to forget the loneliness, but the loneliness only makes me drink more.

Oh, this gets my heart tonight. "In the times I had been struggling, I still held space for those who needed me." --- absolutely this. I am trying so hard to learn to be more careful with who I allow close. Because I'm a GIVER, my dudes. I'll drain myself dry for those I love. There will never, ever, EVER be a time that I'm too busy or have too much on my plate and let that = neglecting my people. I will *never* be too busy, if I love you. I'll find a way, whether it's my time, my energy, my hugs, or just my ear to listen. My relationships are intentional//not transactional. I don't care about what I can get out of you. I don't care if you're asking too much. If I choose you//I *got* you. I remind my child of this all the time -- it doesn't matter how much she needs from me. It might be a lot, but it will never be too much. That's how love works, man. 🖤 But, that's WHY I'm trying to learn to be better at being intentional with who I allow in my zone. I know I'm a fiercely loyal little momma bear type: family, friends, relationships. Once you're in, I got you. So, I have to be careful who I let in, in the first place. I seem to struggle with that. Trying to remember that: all people can be good people. But that doesn't mean they're safe people. Red flags can feel like butterflies when all you've ever known is chaos, energy vampires can be stealthy until it's too late, and - maybe some people just change their minds, and stop being who you thought. It's ok to cut those ties too. Because there's nothing more lonely than being alone with someone else. No one else out here is gonna protect me, like me. Good thing I heckin' love me. ❤️ #samiravivette #poetryofig #wordsaremagic #wordsarepowerful #writerslife #lovelikethemoon #lovelylove #loveagain #loveanyway #lovealways #lonelynights #lonelyheart #datingafter40 #datingishard #singlemomproblems #singlemomlife #findingmyself #findinglove #loveyourselffirst https://www.instagram.com/p/CpJ6XKkOFIW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

All I wanted was just a little bit of love

I was swimming in a sea of other people’s expectations.

death of a friendship

We were inseparable, but now it feels like you've become someone I barely recognize. The person I used to call my friend has transformed for the better, leaving me with a hollow shell of what once wasn’t friend. The pain of not being able to see you, touch you, or share those close moments is truly heartbreaking.

why is it that always someone is the one who loves the other much more? would i ever be the one who is loved?

When you cry and want that specific person to be there for you and is not, you realize you are alone in this life till you die

I'm tired with the world's weight I had never chosen to bear.Fvck.

are you and Lonelynight friends?

Yeah pretty much (I bully her beloved old men)

जगमगाते शहर की रानाइयों में क्या न था, ढूँढ़ने निकला था जिसको बस वही चेहरा न था, हम वही, तुम भी वही, मौसम वही, मंज़र वही, फ़ासले बढ़ जायेंगे इतने मैंने कभी सोचा न था। . . . . #lonely #loneliness #quotes #shayari #candle #nightphotography #lonelynights #davejordan_5 https://www.instagram.com/p/ClOnc4wJgmh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
