“What-ifs and could-have-beens were not the way to move forward. She knew that from experience.”

It's good to be in oblivion sometimes, but just sometimes, especially when life hits u really hard. But, it takes you far far away from the reality. And no problem can be permanently solved with closed eyes..So, ifs better to not make anything a habit..And just lean on to it when u can't do without it.
You shouldn't have to be your parents therapist.
You are not responsible for their mood swings. You shouldn't have to spend your days struggling to keep the peace between them. You shouldn't have to put all your energy into avoiding conflict.
They shouldn't make their emotional problems yours to deal with.
You shouldn't have to suffer for their bad days.
You are their child. You shouldn't have to he more mature than them.
They are the ones who signed up to take care of and raise you, not the other way around.
❗
Sometimes you are OK. But other times, you have to be OK. You don't have a choice. You don't have time to crib about your problems. You just have to act according to the situation.
I wish I had a someone who would observe me silently, who would capture all my habits and quirks, and still love me. Someone that would get lost in how my fine features define my face, while smiling or crying, and still love me.

I don't really need a reason to feel sad..
I don't really need a reason to feel happy..
I don't really need a person to feel romantic about..
I don't really need to have fought to be angry...
I don't really need an exam to feel anxious...
No, it's all on its own, all by itself.
