le petite fille

exhale.
inhale, and breathe out the stress that's been inside your heart, soul, bones.
let go of ideas that have built up in your mind
things that eat at your very being
anything that has been a bother.

 

be by yourself,
go to the sea (never turn your back on the sea),
feel the salty air in your eyes.
build up tears and blame it on the sand and sunlight or rain

 

there is so much peace to be found, so go look for it.
(again, by yourself)

 

find the confidence to be comfortable in silences.
it's great to find others that match you, but,
you, yourself, will always matter first.
depending on others for anything, especially happiness,
will only hurt you.
burn all the bridges,
set fire to everything.
