Stay away from the people who make you feel like you are hard to love

"The concept of love is so absurd. I mean, it's just pain wrapped up in the most beautiful form of pleasure which attracts us in a way we can't refuse. You know, I don't hate to be in love, I am just scared of it. I am scared to fall for someone who pretends to be sure about me, but isn't. And honestly, it's hard to fall in love with me. I have learnt to not give away myself so easily", she smiled a bit, and with tears in her eyes, she confessed her deepest fear. "I wonder if I will ever know what true love is. I wonder if I will ever find a person who would conquer my demons and remind me of the angels which once used to reside in me. I just wonder if I will ever be loveable", she blurted out, and looked straight into my eyes, and fell on my shoulder, sobbing badly. I was at loss of words, for I had never known what true love is like. But one thing I was sure of, was that, no person is hard to love. It's just about realising the beauty of thorns and the petals all together, for it's the flaws and the beauty, which makes us what we are. 
I wiped her tears, and looked into her eyes, and said, "listen, you are that beautiful star which everybody wishes upon, but can't have. You know, you are as vibrant as the blazing sun and as charming as the soothing moon. You are filled with love inside out, and there's absolutely no one who can refuse to fall in love with you. But it's you, who has to know the right person. And for knowing the right one, you have to know yourself. Don't just judge yourself based upon why someone left you. In fact, stop judging yourself. Love isn't a prize to be won, or a race to be completed first. It's a never ending journey, with various ups and downs, and well, there's pure happiness in every step of it. Trust me, you are beautiful enough to melt the stars. Just don't ever disregard yourself", and I stopped speaking for a while. She held my hand and leaned on my shoulders and in that breathtaking silence, I felt her smile, and for the first time, I understood love.♥️

One day, it won't hurt any more

One fine morning, while you are making yourself some coffee, thinking about every other incomplete work, assignments and meetings lying ahead, you suddenly start to feel nostalgic, as if your past, those beautiful memories, those ungrateful scars are calling you out, asking you to realise that you are still the same person within, just a bit changed in the way you look at things, people and situations and probably a lot more calm. As you sit down, stirring your coffee slowly, not yet awake completely, and slowly begin to relish it's flavour, you go back in your past, from your biggest blunders to your silly embarrassments, from those sleepless nights to uncanny scary examinations, from those bitter fights to lovely trips and everything else which got you where you are. You begin to smile to yourself wondering about each and every person you thought you couldn't live without reminding yourself of all those promises you made, all those dreams you wove and of how heartbroken you...

This matters... First choice

If I am not your first choice, please don’t waste my time. Don’t chase me if I’m not the one you truly want to be with. Don’t play games. Don’t love me in halves. If I am not your first choice, don’t encourage me to share myself with you. Don’t let me open up to you about my past, my childhood, my fears. Don’t let me reveal my soul to you if you’re not ready to nurture it. Don’t ask for a place in my heart if you’re not planning on staying there. Don’t awaken my love if you’re not ready to love me. Don’t hold me if you’ll easily let me go. If I am not your first choice, don’t stop me from finding the one who would put me first. Don’t lie to me and tell me that I’m the only one when you’re still juggling options. It is okay to not know what you want, but please, if that is the case — just let me go. If I am not your first choice, please leave. Leave and don’t disturb my peace. Leave instead of half-loving me. Leave instead of lying to me. Leave because I don’t need this kind of darkene...
