20 years and a halfway through

Image
It's been 20 years and halfway through,  I feel the wind and I breathe deep,  So deep my bones feel alive; Maybe, God hasn't given up on me.  I've never prayed for anybody to stay But I pray, I only pray for God to never leave me.  Sometimes, people leave each other,  They do so for their best.  They do so for themselves.  I'll admit it's a little selfish.  But in just 20 years and halfway through,  I've learned never to expect perfection,  Flawless humans without a hint of hate.  Maybe this is why children see adults as pessimists And adults see negative adults as realists,  But the truth is that  All people are struggling.  You've got to show them grace. The way you have been shown.  My Instagram page :  refaia_      

Don't be afraid to leave me

There's an entrance and then there's an exit. I guard the entrance but never the exit.  Each and every person inside can leave whenever they want. The exit is always open but when you leave, leave in a way worthy of our friendship, leave in a way that shows that it mattered. Make it a dramatic exit, make it loud, make it catch my attention.. announce your exit!       Don't sneak out like it's a back door, it's not. If I could put neon lights over the exit sign, I would but I can't because neon lights look too happy and you leaving is never a cause for celebration. It's okay to make me sad though. It's okay to leave me. Just do this one thing for me; when you leave, make sure I notice you leave, so that I won't go looking for you, so that I won't wait for you ...           And finally, "Thank you for stopping by."    My Instagram page :  @refaia_

You will have friends even when you are lost.

The hardest journeys aren't on roads,  They're on little lanes But that's okay  Because you'll meet birds,  And they'll sing for you And they will fly so courageously,  You'll be inspired.  And when you get lost In the woods Or the deserts,  God will give you friends.  No matter where you go You will have them,  Those who will find you When you are lost And will bring you home.
