It is easier not to say anything. Shut your trap, button your lip, can it. All that crap you hear on TV about communication and expressing feelings is a lie. Nobody really wants to hear what you have to say.
“But do talk about it; your feelings are valid and shouldn’t be dismissed.”

“Of all the important things you must do today, there is none greater than showing kindness to your heart. For even the brightest make mistakes and the wisest do not have a thing to say. Be gentle with yourself, forgive yourself, even on your darkest day.”

“you’re my 1am thoughts. the spaces between my fingers. the laughter that lives on the tip of my tongue now. eyepiece. umbrella. shield. sugar in my tea. i’m a wanderer and you’re woodlands. a summer thunderstorm quenching the drought in this arid, dusty sea of red earth. because that’s the thing. without meaning to, you’ve become my favourite things about breathing when my lungs feel like giving out. — without meaning to”

“Life is too short for games unless it’s a game of cards. Don’t text back right away; if you like them, pretend you don’t; and don’t you dare say I love you first. Well screw all that. I will text you back in three seconds; I will tell you that I like you; and if I love you, I’ll tell you every chance I get. Life is unpredictable, and I’d rather play every card as honestly as I can than have a deck full of regrets and what-ifs.”
