You Are Missed

 

✨ Love That Flows Both Ways

 I used to think love meant doing it all, fixing everything, holding everyone together… I was deep in my “I’ve got this” era… until I realized I was carrying the whole relationship alone.

Somewhere along the way, I forgot how to receive.
How to be cared for. How to be soft without feeling weak.

This season looks different. No more survival mode.
I’m choosing trust, rest, and love that meets me halfway. It’s so refreshing!!!

Because being the strong one all the time gets heavy.
And I’m ready for partnership, not performance.

Here’s to ease, softness, and love that flows both ways 

When You Love Someone

 

Memories that Still Hurt

 Lord, breathe peace into the memories that still hurt, the ones that replay in my mind and steal my joy even years later.

These wounds from the past feel as fresh as the day they happened, and I'm tired of being held hostage by moments I can't change or undo.

Teach me that healing doesn't mean forgetting, that I can remember without reliving the pain, that You can redeem even the memories that cut the deepest.

I confess I've tried to bury these memories, to pretend they don't affect me anymore, when really they're still shaping how I see myself, how I trust others, how I move through the world.

Help me bring these painful memories into Your light instead of keeping them hidden in the dark where shame and hurt continue to fester and grow.

Remind me that You were there in those moments even when I couldn't feel You, that You grieve what was done to me, that You want to heal not just the original wound but the ongoing ache it's left behind.

Give me the courage to let You into the tender places, to stop protecting these hurts and start releasing them to You, to trust that Your peace can reach even the memories I thought would always haunt me.

Let Your healing presence wash over these painful memories, taking the sting out of them, replacing hurt with comfort, bringing peace where there's been torment, until I can finally look back without breaking.

Amen.

Grief is strange like that…

 

Grief is strange like that…

it doesn’t arrive all at once.
It slips into the quiet moments,
into habits your hands still remember,
into the reflex of reaching for a phone
before your heart catches up with reality. 

There are seconds when you forget.
Seconds when it feels normal to call,
to type,
to hear their voice on the other end.
And then it hits —
they’re not just one call away anymore. 

Loss doesn’t only hurt because someone is gone.
It hurts because love doesn’t know where to go.
It lingers.
It waits.
It keeps looking for the place it used to rest. 

You grieve in pauses.
In silence.
In the spaces where conversations once lived.
In the moments when your day feels heavy
for no obvious reason at all. 

And yet…
that reaching says something beautiful.
It says the love was real.
It says the connection mattered.
It says some bonds don’t disappear —
they just change form. 

Be gentle with yourself.
There is no timeline for this kind of missing.
Healing doesn’t mean forgetting.
It means learning how to carry the love
without the pain breaking you. 

Because even if they’re not one call away anymore,
they are still close —
in memories,
in quiet thoughts,
and in the heart that still reaches for them. 

Be Grateful for Each and Every Moment

Life doesn’t become precious because of grand achievements

or perfectly planned days.
It becomes precious in the quiet moments,
the shared silences,
the simple joy of sitting close to the ones
who make your heart feel full. 

What truly matters are the moments
we don’t rush through.
The laughter that comes easily.
The comfort of knowing you’re not alone,
even when no one is saying a word. 

These are the memories that stay.
Not because they were loud,
but because they were real.
Because love was present.
Because time slowed down just enough
for us to feel it. 

Gratitude isn’t about having everything.
It’s about noticing what’s already here —
the people,
the togetherness,
the moments that gently remind us
why life is worth holding onto. 

So be grateful for each and every one.
For the friends who sit beside you.
For the hearts that choose to stay.
For the moments that quietly become memories. 

Because in the end,
life is made precious
by the time we spend together. 

Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now) by Phil Collins

How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath
With you? Ooh, ooh


You're the only one who really knew me at all


How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears


You're the only one who really knew me at all


How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath
With you? Ooh, ooh


You're the only one who really knew me at all


How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave?
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears


You're the only one who really knew me at all

So, take a look at me now
Well, there's just an empty space
And there's nothin' left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now
Well, there's just an empty space
And you comin' back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face

You Broke Me Slowly ...

 You didn't break me in one moment. 

You broke me slowly - in half-truths, delayed replies, fading affection. 

You broke me in the way you stopped looking at me like I mattered. 

Pain doesn't always come crashing down; 

Sometimes it arrives in quiet disappointments

That pile up until the heart can't carry them anymore. 

I still replay the moments when I should've walked away 

But stayed because I believed you'd come back to the person I  once loved. 

I didn't lose you - you lost the version of me who tried endlessly. 

And you'll never meet her again. 

I Finally Saw You Clearly ...

 I used to think you changed. 

That you became cold, distant, careless. 

But the truth is painful - you didn't change. 

I just finally saw who you really were. 

The lies were always there. 

The manipulation was always there. 

The selfishness was always there. 

I just loved you too much to notice. 

Sometimes clarity hurts more than heartbreak, 

Because it forces you to accept that the person you loved 

Never existed.
