Let people lose you. Let people be wrong about you. Learn to leave well enough alone. Often, the greatest peace is not found in correcting others. It's found in correcting yourself, accepting the lessons, and knowing when to walk away.

Embracing empathy fuels my confidence, for when I truly understand others, I find the strength to believe in myself.

the intimacy of sleeping together, but not in a sexual way. the intimacy of feeling the warmth of their body in a cool room. their hands hugging you tightly. the intimacy of synchronized breathing. sleepy half-kisses. feeling safe. feeling warm. waking up and realizing how much you love them. how precious this is. finding the happiness on the tip of your fingers, brushing their hair. closing your eyes again. pulling closer. falling asleep.

There is nothing behind the mask. I try on different characters, change my style, change my hair and the way I walk and talk. I'm never the same person. I go on dates and I smile. We hold hands, we tell jokes and eat ice cream at your favorite spot. We go home. You fall asleep next to me, but I'm still lonely. I make friends, we party, we go on hikes and talk about politics. It rains. We rush back to the city. The bus is full, but I'm still lonely.
