Maturity is when you realize people can't give you what they can't give themselves, so you stop expecting loyalty from people who betray themselves, stop expecting honesty from people who lie to themselves, and stop expecting peace from people who are at war with themselves.

May you manifest someone who understands your love language so you don’t have to spend your life translating your soul. Someone who reciprocates the energy and effort you give. Who cherishes and celebrates every ounce of your sensual, soulful, sentimental, and spiritual nature.

In English we say:

“Out of all people you misunderstood me”

But in Urdu we say:

“Usay meri baatein ab samajh nahi aati,

Kabhi jo meri khamoshi ki tafseer likha karta tha.”

In English we say :

possessiveness

But in urdu we say :

“Nahin pasand mohabbat mein milaawat mujh ko,

Agar wo mera hai toh khwaab bhi mere dekhe”.
