Let your soul fly free

  At some point you will realise that all this time whilst you've yearned for freedom, you've been holding the key to your own prison. Recognising your personal barriers are hard. Breaking through them is even harder. But everyone has the strength within themselves to do so. So open those rusted gates. Let your soul …

Love me

There is no one is this world who doesn't deserve to be loved, including you. *** Artwork: 나 사랑하기 by 공강 • kounriver (Grafolio)

It’s okay to be selfish

I constantly try to remind myself that it's okay to be selfish. It's okay to shut myself in my room, to want to have extra time to myself. It's okay to reject social outings in favour of quiet activities. It's okay to have a cry, to ask for someone's immediate support. As long as I'm …

I know I'm not good at giving you my heart. Trust me when I say that my inability to properly express my feelings and my aversion to vulnerability has eaten me up on the inside countless times. That whenever I tear my heart off my sleeve and shove it down my throat it burns. I …

Aversion to love

I hate falling in love. You know why? When I fall for someone, it's like falling into a deep pit. A seemingly bottom, dark abyss. There, I'm given two solutions– One: to wait for that very person I fell for to rescue me, to love me, to throw me a lifeline and guide me safely …

This is why I’m scared to love

All my life I've been yearning for a safe relationship. A relationship where I can feel free without anxiety, express myself in whatever way I want, and love knowing that it'll always be reciprocated. Truth is, those wishes are no more than dreams. For as long as I hold onto my insecurities, I'll keep pushing …
