Love Notes

A Love Note to those who say I've changed.

♡♡♡

The person you thought I was, the idea of who you think I am without sharing space with me consistently up until 2021 may just be one version of me or an inaccurate assumption of me altogether.

Until we have fully known, believed in, and have seen one another's hearts consistently throughout the years or even at a glmipse, we do not know one another, and that's all okay.

There's always room to shift this narrative in a mutual way as we all continue to live, grow, and hopefully heal, and if there's no mutuality to shift the narrative, that's also okay.

Stay aligned with who you are or who you want to be in healing.

With care,

Amarachi

Maybe healthy relationships are about knowing your non negotiables and making sure they're compatible with your partner's?

I am a writer who happens to love women. I am not a lesbian who happens to write.

“I am physically, mentally and emotionally ready to enter a new phase in my life. I’m ready to grow and get better.”

“The best gift you are ever going to give someone - the permission to feel safe in their own skin. To feel worthy. To feel like they are enough.”

— Hannah Brechner

Time for “fuck this shit”

More terrible than being hurt by someone is a feeling of being hurt by yourself, is realizing that that was you who dragged those circumstances on you, the feeling that you shouldn’t have let yourself be in that situation for that long and that you shouldn’t have been trying to fight for something that isn’t even good for you. The realization that last months you spent regretting breaking something that was actually a misery and a result of your lack of self love. 

Self love is indeed the most important skill that we all should be working on and become masters of. If you love yourself truly, you will never put yourself in a situation that will hurt you for nothing. Never. We can’t control others, whether and how they are going to hurt us, but we can control ourselves and how we care about our well being, comfort and overall needs. No being deserves being treated like a shit. Don’t let it happen. 

Also stop agonizing over situations where you were not aware of what is going on, understand them, acknowledge and promise to yourself to leave old you behind. Don’t beat yourself up for how bad decisions you made. Turn it into lesson. Past is past, past happened, stop living by it, you are beautiful and absolutely amazing, fuck that past shit and move forward.

“I didn’t leave because I stopped loving you, I left because the longer I stayed the less I loved myself.” - Rupi Kaur

“Listen to the inner light; it will guide you. Listen to inner peace; it will feed you. Listen to inner love; it will transform you, it will divinise you, it will immortalise you.”

— Sri Chinmoy

“To let go implies to let go of something. The something that we’re holding on to may simply be a creation of our mind, an illusory perception of something, and not the reality of the thing itself. Everything is an object of our mind and is colored by our perception. You get an idea, and before you realize it, you’ve become stuck in that idea. You may get scared because of that idea you’re believing in. You might even get sick because of it. Perhaps that idea brings you a lot of unhappiness and worries, and you would like to be free. But it’s not enough that you want to be free. You have to give yourself enough space and quiet to become free.”

— Thich Nhat Hanh

“People say things meant to rip you in half, but you hold the power to not turn their words into a knife and cut yourself.” - Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey
