WHEN HE TELLS YOU TO CHILL
A long time ago u told me to "live my life like my soul keeps exploding and I'd find people who aren't afraid of pain because there's no such thing. Do u remember that?
Stop having such a soft heart. Hide that shit. Off top, Fuk dat muthafffukka. Let a boy prove he deserves U, multiple times, in multiple ways B4 U give him shit. The 1s who Rnt worth ur time & who R in it just 2 win it will give up. The 1 who cares 4U, who respects U, who cherishes U MOST won’t. Stop giving affection & sweetness away lik candy. & Come on girl, did he realy shatter U? Don’t fool urself. U hav always been that bitch. Now sometimes we do get our heart broke. Learn from that. Cultivate ur pain. Out of fire comes the ashes & from the ashes grows a rose. Can’t recognize urself? Bcome sum1 new. Feel lik he was cruel? Rnt we all in our own ways? Find the wolf inside U & run w her 💋
