Diary of a realist

i think my biggest red flag is that i never really know how to talk about my feelings. when i'm going through something, i tend to stop talking to everyone until i feel okay again. i have a lot of conversations with myself in my head about how i feel, and i explain it so well there - but getting it to actually come out of my mouth is so hard. once i feel okay, i'll start communicating again as if nothing happened. it's not that i'm being distant with you; i just process things better when i'm alone. ~kiran shah

  Someone once asked me what I’m afraid of… I replied; “ATTACHMENTS” I’m afraid of getting attached to people —afraid that if I grow close to someone and they change or leave, it will hurt.  I fear losing people.  I’m scared they might walk away and leave me behind. Because of all this, I choose to stay alone — in my own little world. I talk to myself, I feel myself, and In that space there’s no one who can break my heart!!! ~kiran shah

Stop worrying about what other people think of you and focus on yourself instead. Focus on what makes your soul feel at peace. You are your biggest commitment, so start loving your flaws, your awkwardness, your weirdness, your intensity, and your vulnerability. Life becomes so much more fulfilling when you are simply yourself. The world keeps spinning whether people understand you or not, so why not make this next trip around the sun about you?
