To be this open amongst people who are not open is an impossible task. Our parents did this in a society that the humanness was still there. Right now, there's so much damage done and if you are able to get back the love that you give, you are blessed.
this felt like one massive callout, so for that: rude. I kept stopping to reread and mentally highlight passages, then sigh to myself. change won’t happen overnight but I suppose I’ll start making little decisions differently. thanks for writing this
The same has happened to me. It is one of thevmost indirectly hurtful things anyone had ever done to me. Yet I've still been able to see them in person.
That took real courage for you to do! As I was reading it, I was considering doing the same. But I know it will be received with more silence where I would send it.
This is so true. I’m finding myself trying to act from another place, even when the world says otherwise. It takes courage to experience vulnerability as it is: a place of strength and love. And also to get close, to speak from the heart, to be human. Thanks for your words 🤍
The way this piece was peaceful and I for a fact try my best but some people think it is not honest or you are kidding them. I got to say this is like a whisper telling me to just continue being me and spreading the love
i love this so much! people nowadays are afraid to have tough conversations but this is essential if you want to have meaningful relationships. That is why i kinda don’t believe in the let them theory bcs it promotes avoidance. I think in some cases it will work but if you love and truly value a person you wouldn’t just let them.
Aaw, I cried and cried and cried again reading this. It's so tough living in a world that keeps saying "Don't send long paragraphs, don't love too much, don't care too much" I love making my love known. I'm glad I found lots of us still feel the same way too.

Hi
this felt like one massive callout, so for that: rude. I kept stopping to reread and mentally highlight passages, then sigh to myself. change won’t happen overnight but I suppose I’ll start making little decisions differently. thanks for writing this
it needs to start somewhere, i am playing my role, you gotta play yours. and i believe in you <3
The act of intentionality is something I crave for everyday
I don't want to feel like loving me is difficult just because loving me is raw and unfiltered and real
But in this world like you so aptly put the new art of being nonchalant is what everyone wants to embody
Or well, almost everybody
‘almost everybody’. and no i dont think loving you difficult, you are an amazing person who will find her person soon
Thank you love
Have a great day today 🤍
I tried. I’m blocked :(

I could only wish :( I messaged and called , he’s long forgot about me…. It’s been over a year. You can laugh , how pathetic of me 😂❤️🌻
I wrote this recently - https://open.substack.com/pub/sbbasser/p/what-was-real?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=3gja5d
how are you in my head? as the most chalant person you’ll ever meet, I thank you 🙏
I sent it to people who have hurt me and I might’ve hurt back in hope to fix our friendships. Great read as always 🫶🏾
That took real courage for you to do! As I was reading it, I was considering doing the same. But I know it will be received with more silence where I would send it.
So what? Write it anyway!!!
I like to think that if they care, they’d read. If they don’t, i know who I need to remove from my life for my own good.
Help. I saw the word sincerity and immediately thought of this song.. amazing pairing btw

the 1975 arc going hard
This is beautiful and so real. I want everyone to read this. I wish everyone would stop being so afraid to love just a little louder

“We’ve mistaken disengagement for peace, and I think it’s killing something sacred in us.” precisely ❤️🩹❤️🩹
I wish I could paste this post everywhere, on billboards and park benches as road signs and wallpapers, everybody needs to read this ❤️🩹

Speechless.. This has me speechless. Another beautiful work and many words I needed. Thank you
