You are stronger than you know\u2014but you can also be crueler than you realize.
\nThe smallest words have the power to break your heart.\n
You will change. You\u2019re not the same person you were three years ago, or even three minutes ago, and that\u2019s okay\u2014especially if you didn\u2019t like who you were a moment ago.\n
People come and go. Some are like cigarette breaks, fleeting and brief. Others are like forest fires, leaving lasting marks.
\nYou won\u2019t truly appreciate your name until you hear someone say it in their sleep.
\nIt\u2019s okay not to open the curtains. Some days, the world can wait.\n
\n
Never hesitate to text someone. If you love them at 4 a.m., tell them. If you still love them at 9:30 a.m., tell them again.\n
Have a safe place. Whether it\u2019s your kitchen floor or the Travel section of a bookstore, find somewhere that feels like home.
\nYou\u2019ll have fears\u2014spiders, clowns, eating alone\u2014but your biggest fear will be that people see you the way you see yourself.\n
Sometimes, looking at someone will feel like staring into the sun. And sometimes, someone will look at you as if you are the sun. Wait for that.
\nYou\u2019ll learn how to sleep alone, how to avoid the cold corners of the bed, but still find ways to fill it.
\nAlways be friends with the broken people\u2014they know how to survive.
\nYou can love and hate someone at the same time. You can miss them so much that it aches, yet still ignore your phone when they call.\n
You are good at something. Whether it\u2019s making someone laugh or remembering their birthday, don\u2019t let anyone tell you those things don\u2019t matter.
\nYou will always be hungry for love. Even when someone is lying next to you, you\u2019ll envy the pillow that touches their cheek and the sheet that covers their skin.\n
Loneliness isn\u2019t about the number of people around you, but about how many truly understand you.\n
People don\u2019t always say \u201cI love you\u201d directly. Sometimes it sounds like, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you call me back?\u201d or \u201cLet me know when you get home.\u201d Make sure you\u2019re listening. You are stronger than you know\u2014but you can also be crueler than you realize. The smallest words have the power to break your heart. You will change. You\u2019re not the same person you were three years ago, or even three minutes ago, and that\u2019s okay\u2014especially if you didn\u2019t like who you were a moment ago.\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":92596,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[657,642],"tags":[678,818],"class_list":{"0":"post-92593","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-love-and-relationships","8":"category-moral-story","9":"tag-love-hurt-tear","10":"tag-moral-touching-stories"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/mom-dad-.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92593","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92593"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92593\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":92597,"href":"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92593\/revisions\/92597"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92593"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92593"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inovatestory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92593"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
