Home is wherever you feel seen.
Home is here.

Revenge would have kept me chained
to the person who hurt me.

If I were still chasing revenge,
I’d still be bleeding for someone
who stopped bleeding for me.

forgiveness became the best revenge.

[Brittink @Brittink_]

Growth isn’t betrayal
it’s just me
refusing to stay stuck

[Brittink @Brittink_]

not loud
not begging
just burning low enough
to keep the dark from winning

this is power
without performance

[Brittink @Brittink_]

there’s grace
in simplicity

in a room full of mirrors
it refuses to reflect
chooses instead to absorb
every unnecessary flame

until only ember remains

[Brittink @Brittink_]

never deny yourself the deep
the swim past shallow water
it will drown parts of you
it will teach you how to breathe
that’s where your real size lives

[Brittink @Brittink_]

and if your heart whispers “more”?
listen
let it lead you through the dark
follow it
even if it scars
especially if it scars

[Brittink @Brittink_]

loneliness hurts less
when you’re the only one in the room

[Brittink @Brittink_]

@emilysterlings_ I’m the one feeling it
and still can’t name it

[Brittink @Brittink_]

@deeepestmsgs I’ve always wanted
Now my hands are full of nothing
And I don’t want anything anymore

[Brittink @Brittink_]

@itswords_ It not really acceptance
It’s surrendering
while hoping the pain left

[Brittink @Brittink_]

@_Hope_ix hoping hurts more than loneliness ever could

[Brittink @Brittink_]

@stillhurts8110 Every conversation is a reminder of
why I kept my wounds in the draft

[Brittink @Brittink_]

@ohanxiety maybe I wasn’t toxic
maybe I was bleeding out

[Brittink @Brittink_]

There was a time my eyes were rivers
Now they’re deserts.
I’m done reacting.
Done hoping.
So I went quiet inside.

[Brittink @Brittink_]

picking up means getting up
with your knees still shaking
with your hands still dirty from the fall
with your pride in pieces at your feet
with the whole world watching
and you pretending
you don’t feel their eyes

[Brittink @Brittink_]

The worst thing isn’t pain.
It’s losing interest.
When nothing makes you happy,
nothing makes you sad.
Just numb.
Closer to losing hope than to wanting

[Brittink @Brittink_]

i’ve always wanted
wanted
wanted

and now
my hands are full of nothing.
and i don’t know what i want anymore.

[Brittink @Brittink_]

Depth gets mistaken for damage by people
who only skim surface

[Brittink @Brittink_]

@Tarmeim I stay strong for so long
I become the armor.
and can’t find the skin underneath.
i’m tired of being steel.
i just want to be soft again.

[Brittink @Brittink_]

Water where you grow.
Leave where you wilt.

That’s not selfish.
That’s survival.

[Brittink @Brittink_]

Don’t let them drain your ink
then ask
why your pages are so blank

[y @ysuckme]

never let anyone dim your spark.
