Conversation 34

The world can be noisy. Circumstances get heavy, opinions get loud,
and sometimes it feels like shadows are trying to creep in from every direction.💖
​But there is a fundamental truth you need to hold onto today:
🕯​”Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.”🕯
​That resilience? That kindness? That fire in your soul that keeps you going?
It is yours. It is internal. And it is completely off-limits to outside forces.
They might temporarily block the sun, but they cannot touch your inner flame.
​Keep shining, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. 🔥💛

Flowers
Song by Miley Cyrus

We were good, we were gold
Kinda dream that can’t be sold
We were right ’til we weren’t
Built a home and watched it burn
Mm, I didn’t wanna leave you, I didn’t wanna lie
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don’t understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Paint my nails cherry red
Match the roses that you left
No remorse, no regret
I forgive every word you said
Ooh, I didn’t wanna leave you, baby, I didn’t wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours, yeah
Say things you don’t understand
I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I- (ooh, I)
I didn’t wanna leave you, I didn’t wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers (uh-huh)
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours (yeah)
Say things you don’t understand (you never will)
I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby (oh, oh)
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby (than you can)
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I-

Silence has a voice..
When someone tells you that they want to be alone, honor this.
Don’t take it as an affront on you (that is ego) –
They need space to reconcile, to grieve, to unfold some personal pain.
Our only job is to support and respect that space.
Forcing the situation is dangerous.
They will come to you when (and if) they are ready.
If not, loving them from an arms distance is all we can do.
