① for your own sanity, just let things be -
by letters from rosie | 👏20597 💬79
Synopsis: Some people are simply meant to hurt us. Some people are meant to be with us only for a short time. By embracing the “let them theory,” we give a safe space for people in our lives to be themselves, not trying to change them, but accepting them as they are.
② To those who disappears when things get tough -
by R | 👏36811 💬305
Synopsis: People who are a great listener are also the ones who doesn’t have anyone to turn to when life’s being a bummer to them. These kind of people are the most dangerous as they’re very good at pretending; pretending to be fine, pretending to have things under control, when in reality they’re struggling to even get out of bed.
③ who are you when nobody is watching? — those are the moments you’re defining yourself.
by pahal writes | 👏57808 💬152
Synopsis: Who are you when nobody is watching? is the question I ask myself. I am different with different people. My favorite version of “me” is the one that comes out when no one’s around, when my actions aren’t captured. We are the dark secrets we conceal and the mistakes that we make.We are the love left unexpressed and the unnoticed kindness.

Synopsis: I wrote this way back in 2022 when I was still choosing the right school for my senior years. I was confused and scared about whether I’d be in the right place. Now, I’ll write about what happened two years later. Follow me if you are curious about the lessons I learned.
⑥ i feel like there’s no point in telling anyone anything that is happening inside me — The End of the F World (2017)
by keng | 👏7184 💬62
Synopsis: I’ve always been the one to listen, to offer a shoulder, to say, “I’m here for you.” But when it comes to my own struggles, I vanish. I build walls and put up barriers, not wanting to be a burden. I convince myself that my pain is insignificant, that it doesn’t matter.
⑦ to be loved is to be known — Our Beloved Summer (2021)
by remi ;༊ | 👏31438 💬180
Synopsis: To be loved is to be known. It’s a feeling that goes beyond words because someone sees you for who you truly are. The love that knows you is the love that stays and grows. To be known in this way is to feel a sense of belonging that is irreplaceable.
That’s it. I really hope you enjoy. See you next week! 😊
