Longings of the Heart, Troubles of the Mind, Issues of the Soul
<p>Sometimes I feel like my heart wants things I don’t even know how to say out loud.</p><p>Not big things — just…</p><p>to feel loved for real.</p><p>To feel chosen.</p><p>To feel like I matter to someone without having to beg for it.</p><p>It’s crazy because the heart is soft, and the world moves rough.</p><p>So we learn to act like we don’t care.</p><p>We pretend.</p><p>We get used to hiding how we feel.</p><p>And then there’s the mind —</p><p>the real troublemaker.</p><p>The mind overthinks everything.</p><p>One small thing happens and suddenly your brain is like:</p><p>“Maybe they don’t like me.”</p><p>“Maybe I’m not enough.”</p><p>“Maybe I said too much.”</p><p>“Maybe I shouldn’t exist today.”</p><p>And you’re just sitting there, tired… from thinking.</p><p>Then comes the soul.</p><p>That quiet part of you that doesn’t shout — it just aches.</p><p>Not a loud pain, but that heavy-in-the-chest kind of tired.</p><p>The kind where you stare at the ceiling and just… feel everything and nothing at once.</p><p>People say “You’re young, you’ll be fine.”</p><p>But they don’t understand that being young is the confusing part.</p><p>You’re still figuring yourself out while trying not to fall apart in front of everyone.</p><p>You’re trying to love without losing yourself.</p><p>Trying to forgive past hurts.</p><p>Trying to grow.</p><p>Trying to stay gentle.</p><p>Trying to make it through the day without breaking.</p><p>It’s a lot.</p><p>But even in all of this…</p><p>we’re learning.</p><p>We’re learning to choose people who don’t make love feel like a battle.</p><p>We’re learning to take things slow.</p><p>We’re learning that not everyone deserves the soft parts of us.</p><p>We’re learning that we don’t have to carry everything alone.</p><p>None of us have life figured out yet.</p><p>We’re all just trying — and sometimes trying is enough.</p><p>If your heart is still hoping,</p><p>your mind is still searching,</p><p>and your soul is still fighting to feel okay…</p><p>then you’re doing better than you think </p><p>Or at least you can only hope you are.</p><p>The End.</p><p>Thanks for your patience and attention.</p>
