 But then I met a certain woman and it changed. I started to think that I wanted to survive. The first time the idea of death began to scare me. To love, you must be gentle. For love is fragile. To love, you must be patient. For love is demanding. To love, you must be caring. For love demands understanding. To love, you must be willing. To put yourself and your pride aside. For the one you love. Before you get to love, you have to understand this. You don't need anyone. You need you. You need to be able to live your truth alone before sharing it with others. You need to learn what it is that you love in this world and why you love it. What is it that you are passionate about? You already know what you hate but do you know what you love? Are you able to express it? Are you able to express it properly and healthily? You need to learn your value. You need to own your skills and be confident in them. You have time. Take it. Become the best version of you. A version that you will one day love and aren't afraid to say it. I don't know your life. I don't know your struggles. I do know that you can be complete without anyone else. Water the seeds of your soul so that it may blossom into a garden of light and truth.
