How the absence of someone else feels like the absence of myself

[jahanamia]

Do people believe in having closure with someone will help you stop wondering about your questions in the middle of the night? I would love to hear stories. I will never get closure, which makes me feel like I could never love to my fullest...

Anyone feel the same?

يمكن لأيِّ أحدٍ أن يقاومَ أزمةً، ويواجهَ مأساةً ساحقةً بشجاعةٍ، لكن أن تواجهَ متاعبَ النّهار الرّهيبةِ بضحكةٍ، فذلك يتطلّب شجاعةً كما أؤمن فعلًا.

How many dreams can I dream in a night..

[jahanamia]

Trying to make someone fill our cup leads to anger, frustration and anxiety; it makes us break apart from people and shut down on our selves..

You must learn to fill your own cup, and to do that you must be brave enough to be completely bare with yourself and ask questions you might not like the answers to. Why do you feel the way you do? What can you do to move on and fix it?
