“We all have one foot in a fairytale, and the other in the abyss.”
— Paulo Coelho
You know, there are some people you meet in life…
You feel like they’re such a cool person. You try talking to them, but there’s this feeling deep down that you could never really be their friend or even an acquaintance even though you’d love to be a part of their life.
You try reaching out often. And though you try, somewhere in your heart, you feel like a real connection is impossible… because they’re totally out of your league.
There’s love from them, yes but it’s so far from you that it’s hard to even notice it, let alone feel it.
It’s like the universe placed them just close enough for you to admire, but never close enough to hold.
This is exactly how I feel about you.
It’s what I felt after one failed video call with you.
No matter how much I try or don’t
the bond... will it ever be something I can truly call a bond?
There’s no blame on anyone.
This is just how it is.
And it hurts.
Because I feel like a sister that is foriegn to you.
Everyone you love, or are close to even in terms of friendship
stays a stranger to me.
They talk to me just for the sake of basic courtesy. This is how I feel. Maybe it’s not the truth.
But the feeling is real.
And sometimes, I wonder
after mom and dad...
do I really have anyone in this life I can lean on?
And that thought… it makes me really sad.
Study me as much as you like, you will never know me, for I differ a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes, and see me as I see myself, For I have chose to dwell in a place you cannot see. ✻.ღ.*.Rumi.*.ღ.✻ ƬĤΛИҠ Y♡Ʊ F♡Ŕ ßƐĪИƓ Rumi in his eloquent words suggests us that our ‘true self’ can never be seen. Our true nature is not meant for our physical eyes, it can only be felt / seen through the eyes of the inner heart. Each human being is such an unique mystery! Because of that uniqueness Rumi says that only to see and understand someone truly we have to put ourselves behind the eyes of ‘the one’. Entering into the highly esoteric human field of 'the one’ is what enables us to mysteriously become 'you’, to become 'the friend’, to become a true lover. Its a timeless secret.
When she comes to you with her issues..they come with an hope that you will have her back no matter what..

please don’t get tired of me. i’m trying my best
The more I started engaging with ppl ..The more I began craving for solitude..
How strange is that?
“if ever you were in the vicinity of a loner, you might believe there is tranquillity in solitude, but if ever you were a loner, you know solitude is an escape from the pandemonium in a world that never could hear you screaming.”
