Beautiful Mistakes

by R.J. Avenira

those who tell you ‘i love you’ will be the ones to hurt you the most

pain is the thing that teaches you the places you need to be held tenderly by someone who truly loves you

all those who hurt you will be the first to crawl back to you once you have found your healing

your heart remembers the days of light and love with fond nostalgia but put yourself at ease you have still better days waiting for you

do not ignore the ache in your heart that demands to be heard

everything you need is already inside yourself

there is a difference between forgiving people and giving them another chance to make the same mistakes they made before

the day will come where all of the concerns which plague your heart at this moment will be as forgotten as the weather a decade ago on this day.

i needed you more than you ever needed me

you don't need a man to validate who you are

you deserve someone who stays

sometimes you just have to cry until you are so exhausted that you can begin to move on

the moment we begin to become jealous is the moment we give all our power

someone who does not show you that they care doesn’t

lust when it goes both ways can feel close to love

let his mistake of losing a diamond be your chance to realize that you deserve so much more than him

you will be the one he regrets losing more than any of the others

you are far too powerful too full of lightning sprung from the hands of goddesses to think that some lowly man is worthy of the grieving of your heart

you showed me the type of love that my analytical mind could only begin to appreciate

i swear the power of your soul is infinite
