from Diya, with love

It was only a split second when I felt it. Maybe even less. It was a moment when I thought a single bad thought about myself, but immediately recounted all the ways in which I've proven to myself that it was wrong. And then I let it go. At that moment, I realized how, even a year ago, I would have accepted that I was, indeed, all the horrifying things that I thought I was in my darkest moments. And then I thought of you. Because I realized, it's all because of you. You are the reason I know my worth, and why I know now to never be satisfied with any less. You've taught me to stand up for myself, despite how uncomfortable it makes me. Because you were the first to see in me what no one ever saw before, and to tell me what it was. To tell me how truly and utterly amazing you thought I was. The tears didn't begin until I started to write, because I realize who I've become, and how you've changed me. For the better.

another look inside your mind tells everyone what you've been thinking stop another look inside your mind, but i dont think anyone is looking stop the world within and the world outside begin to collide stop but you dont know how to stop just stop please stop im screaming inside but all i can say is okay stop i just need it to all stop

11-11-2019,     02:04 and I don't even remember your name but if I ever saw you again I know I'd tell you that  your words went straight to my heart I still feel them in my bones  even under the weight of the most stressful forty-eight hours and I'd tell you that I want to remember your voice forever for even though you were only talking to a room full of maybe a hundred teenagers and poets I felt like your words should be heard by the world but I also want them to just be mine and I hope that what you say is immortalized forever because the way your words made me feel I have no words for it
