Just be the person who cares more, tries harder, loves stronger, gives more shit than all of the half-alive people who surround them. Be the one who answers their messages, shows up to their commitments and doesn't leave others hanging. Be the person you wish you were dating.
i got the call by 2:13 am
my dad had been rushed to the hospital. i didn’t even think, i threw on my shoes and ran to my car.
by the time i reached
she was already there, sitting in the waiting room, holding my hand like she’d been there for hours. she didn’t even panic or asked questions i couldn’t answer
she just stayed
brought me coffee
held my jacket and kept me grounded while the hospital chaos swirled around us.
weeks later, when everything settled, i realized she hadn’t just shown up for me that night, she had shown up for every “what if” i hadn’t even said out loud but had in mind...
that was when when i understood that marriage isn’t about the grand gestures, it’s about who sits beside you when life refuses to wait
I highly recommend you find yourself a clingy (healthy) lovey dovey partner who's super excited about you. Life is too short to spend it with someone who act like showing love is a chore.
