Self-deception is what keeps us in some relationships.
We bury our gut feelings in overthinking. We want a relationship to work so badly we ignore red flags and justify hurtful behaviors. We hope for a specific answer, so we ignore the answer we get.
We keep asking for clarity because we can’t accept the clarity toxic behaviors give us. We find excuses for the most apparent
neglect.
We hope for change, we hope to be chosen, we hope to finally be seen-so we wait, we stay, no matter how much it hurts.
We forget that the answers we’re looking for don’t hide in a fleeting thought or a feeling, chemistry or intensity, not even in the connection we feel.
Answers lay in behaviors, in the way we are treated.

“Man goes from one woman to another, goes on changing. People think he is a great lover; he is not a lover at all. He is avoiding, he is trying to avoid any deep involvement because with deep involvement problems have to be faced, and much pain has to be gone through. So one simply plays safe; one makes it a point never to go too deeply into somebody.
If you go too deep you may not be able to come back easily. And if you go deeply into somebody, somebody else will go deeply into you also; it is always proportionate. If I go very deep in you the only way is to allow you also to go that deep in me. It is a give and take, it is a sharing. Then one may get entangled too much, and it will be difficult to escape and the pain may be much. So people learn how to play safe: just let surfaces meet — hit-and-run love affairs. Before you are caught, run.
This is what is happening in the modern world. People have become so juvenile, so childish; they are losing all maturity.
Maturity comes only when you are ready to face the pain of your being; maturity comes only when you are ready to take the challenge. And there is no greater challenge than love.” Osho

To Love an Empath
is no easy feat.
She seems to feel too deeply
She seems to be too delicate
You will feel a call to protect her
To shield her
To fix her
But friend, she is not broken.
To love an Empath
You must love
All of her.
The tears she sheds
You’ll want to wipe them away,
but she’ll promise you they are her war paint
The scars she bears
You’ll want to heal them
but she’ll tell you they are tattooed reminders
of her resilience
The hands she extends
You’ll want to lighten their load
but she’ll insist
the weight is only making her stronger
The rapid beat of her heart
You’ll want to steady it, quiet it
but she’ll begin to dance away
drumming her feet to the sound of her battle song.
And even the pain, the sadness, the fear,
You’d do anything to quell,
She’ll whisper to you
that she’d rather feel this…
than be numb to the world’s suffering.
To love an Empath
You must acknowledge her feelings
Offer her space to mourn, to rage, to hope, to love
You must believe in her calling
even when you don’t hear it
Her passion is not a choice
It is her nature… her Wild.
Yes, to love an Empath is not easy
But the love she’ll offer in return
is one like no other.
To love an Empath
You must love
all of her ♥️

At a certain age, you’ll stop longing for a companion.
You’ll stop insisting to join a lunch out when you’re not invited or feeling offended over a planned birthday surprise that no one told you about. You’ll learn not to stress over people and forced relationships. Instead, you’ll start enjoying your own company. You’ll stop feeling awkward over an empty seat in front of you in a café or a large bucket of popcorn all for yourself in a cinema. You’ll choose sleep over an uncommitted conversation, to stay at home and indulge yourself in classic movies than to force yourself to show up in a Friday night party just to blend in. You’ll learn to cross roads alone, take bus rides on your own, witness breathtaking views and enjoy once-in-a-lifetime experiences with yourself.
At a certain age you’ll learn that moments can also be fun and memorable even in your own company. That it’s never sad to explore life’s corners on your own, that’s its actually more fulfilling and freeing. At a certain age you’ll learn that you are not getting any younger and all you can do is to make every moment count. That life is a short but meaningful journey; and to make the most out of it, you have to stop waiting for someone to hold your hand and walk the road with you. You have get up and cherish the walk yourself.
