The beauty within you

Perfection is an illusion, it makes us believe we have to be like the ones we see online or in magazines. It makes us think that we need likes, follows and shares to feel important and to be seen. It’s a trap to make you think you are less than because you look different than what “society” says we should look like. 

I am flawed, but I am also alive, breathing, and evolving. I embrace my flaws as the fractured fragments that make me whole, for it is in these cracks that the light of resilience and authenticity shines through.

Flaws give texture to the masterpiece that we are. We are masterpieces, just as we are. Don’t ever change your true canvas for anyone. I see you and I see how beautiful you are. Keep shining that beauty.

In my daydreams

reality gently tugged 
at the edges of my daydream 
reminding me that he was miles away
yet in that moment
I knew that the distance between us 
was insignificant
for in my daydream
he was with me 
his presence as real 
as the beating of my heart 
and as I slowly returned
to the world outside my mind 
I couldn’t help but smile
knowing that I would carry him with me 
always in my daydreams 
and in my heart

Bittersweet

their love though unfulfilled 
became a beacon of hope 
in their lives
for in this beautiful tragedy
they discovered the depths 
of their immeasurable love
and perhaps just perhaps 
in another lifetime 
or a different world
they would be free to chase 
the love that had eluded them in this one 
until then
they remain two souls 
deeply in love but destined to dance 
on opposite sides of life’s bittersweet stage
