Words, Thoughts
Choose a man who still thinks, even after the children, that your body is a piece of art he had the privilege to be part of.
Reject a man who blames you for getting older while failing to see his own reflection in the mirror.
Choose a man who wakes up happy beside you simply because it is you lying there — and that alone is enough.
Reject a man whose narcissistic illusions make him see human beings as objects instead of subjects.
Choose a man who still thinks you are beautiful after the years pass and you grow old together.
Youth is an illusion; getting older is peace. Youth is almost like having permission to be insane, while growing older is the cure.
Choose people who are on your level and allow you to grow.
Reject people who need you to stay small so their egos can feel bigger.
Choose people with the same interests. Do not bend yourself too much for others — if you do not live for yourself, you will lose yourself.
Do not parent your parents; it is never a child’s responsibility. Only narcissistic parents expect their children to carry a parent’s burden. If you are blamed for being here, on this earth, remember: it was not your decision. It was theirs, and the responsibility was theirs too, not yours.
Sometimes — many times — it is beautiful to dream of a gentle morning touch, of feet brushing against feet as you wake up. It is the moment when you are still in dreamland, between two worlds: one without limits at all, and the other shaped by the physical surroundings that bind us together.
Within those memories, you have your own positive space. You can create your own positive space and leave others outside it, because it belongs to you — only you.
Are all dreams true? Not necessarily. But they are another level of mind and thought: a space without limits, a space to be free, a space where no one can imprison you.
But what if you cannot choose?
Why can’t you?
Where can you?
How can you?
Do not become a prisoner of your parents’ traumas, nor of the weight carried through generations. There is no need for you to relive the pain of the past. Move your eyes toward the future. See the future and feel the future — it becomes easier to reach for it then.
You cannot change everything, but you can change your life. The tools may be difficult to find and difficult to understand, but that is everyone’s individual work to do: to figure it out.
And in that work, one of the greatest tasks is to know who you are.
Define yourself.
Grow.
