And you tried to change, didn't you? Closed your mouth more. Tried to be softer, prettier, less volatile, less awake... You can't make homes out of human beings. Someone should have already told you that. And if he wants to leave, then let him leave. You are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love.
Warsan ShireLight attracts light. But sometimes your light attracts moths and your warmth attracts parasites. Protect your space and energy
Warsan ShireMake peace with your body, it's not manmade, there are no flaws, there are no mistakes.
Warsan ShireMy name is indigenous to my country, it is not easy to pronounce, it takes effort to say correctly and I am absolutely in love with the sound of it and its meaning. Also, it's not the kind of name you baby, slip into sweet talk mid sentence, late night phone conversation, whisper into the receiver kind of name, so, of that I am glad.
Warsan ShireThe ego hurts you like this: you become obsessed with the one person who does not love you. blind to the rest who do.
