Give Up.

-
Give up on the guy who only texts you when he’s drunk. And the one that won’t prioritize you. Give up on the people that won’t make time to see you. And the ones that only remember you exist when they need something. Stop holding onto people and feelings believing something will change. Give up on the boy that won’t text you unless you do and the friend that won’t make the first step to make it up to you after a big fight. Give up on the person that promised you they’ll take you out and never found the time to do so.
They say giving up is for cowards. Not in this case; I’m asking you to give up on those who weigh you down, on the feelings that are one sided only. Give a second chance, even a third one but know when to stop giving chances and…fucks. Trust me you’ll feel much better and freer. You’re not happy with your relationship? Break up. With your job? Start looking for a new one. Your friendships? Create new ones. It’s about time you start breaking habits that might make you feel comfortable and secure but only make you sad and prevent you from being truly happy and excited about your life and your daily routine.  

I know this one is quite short but I wanted to put it out there again. I wrote an article very similar to this one called “The Art of Letting Go” but I’m experiencing something very similar to that situation again in my life and thought I might as well remind you how strong and powerful you truly are. Don’t settle for anything less than what you deserve and that is the absolute W O R L D.

Πες μου αν θυμάσαι.

  Θυμάσαι όσα σχεδιάζαμε να κάνουμε μαζί; Τα μέρη που λέγαμε να επισκεφτούμε, οι καλλιτέχνες που θέλαμε να ακούσουμε, τα μαγαζιά που κοιτούσαμε για να φάμε, αυτά που είχες πάει και ήθελες να δείξεις και σε μένα. Θυμάσαι όσα κάναμε μαζί; Το πόσο έχουμε γελάσει και κλάψει, το πόσο ενθουσιασμένη ήσουν, πως έκανες σαν μικρό παιδί όταν ήμασταν οι δυο μας, πόσα πράγματα έκανες για πρώτη φορά με μένα ή πόσο διαφορετικό ήταν κάτι όταν το ζούσες μαζί μου. Θυμάσαι όσα έκανα για σένα; Οι υποσχέσεις μου που κράτησα μέχρι και την τελευταία στιγμή. Όσα σου έδωσα απτά και μη, πράγματα δικά μου, δανεικά που δε ζήτησα ποτέ πίσω γιατί προτιμούσα να τα έχεις εσύ, γιατί τότε πίστευα πως θα μπορούσα να εξακολουθώ να τα βλέπω. Όλα αυτά που σου πήρα, τα περισσότερα χωρίς καν να τα ζητήσεις. Επιθυμίες σου που εκπλήρωσα πριν προλάβεις να τις εκφράσεις. Συναισθήματα ανεξάντλητα, κάθε μέρα πιο πολλά, πιο δυνατά. Το μόνο που ήθελα σαν αντάλλαγμα ήταν να ξέρω ότι σε έκανα χαρούμενη με τον οποιονδήποτε τρόπο...

Getting lost in the thought of us together and alone is my not-so-guilty pleasure. Replaying our moments in my head is my favourite kind of escape. Living in a fantasy I want to turn into reality so badly. The mind is a powerful tool and I use mine to keep you close to me, so close we become one. I want you inside my skin, I’d rather be killed by you than any other of my addictions. I can’t tell the difference between love and lust when it comes to you anymore. I feel it all at the same time, every emotion to the max. My imagination is running wild and real life is constantly ruining my illusions. But you have what it takes to make them come true. You look at me and I get lost in you in an instant. When you’re away I always find myself calling out for you. It’s like heaven and hell on earth. Just a little bit more, though it will never be enough. No amount of time will leave me completely satisfied, greedy for your existence. Through the highs and the lows, the toughest moments, when I...

Sight. I’m looking at you up and down like this type of artwork you have to stare at for a while to make sense of it. Like the greatest masterpiece I’ve ever laid my eyes on -and believe me I’ve seen a lot of things. Like a blind seeing for the first time. I can’t stop staring; my biggest weakness as a human being: to be unable to look away from something I’m so attracted to. I wanna explore every inch you. I want to inspect you raw enough so I can smell the natural scent of your body. Smell. I love your perfume, it suits you just fine. I don’t care if it’s expensive or not, your skin’s pH makes it the most luxurious scent my nose has ever experienced. I want it all over me, not your perfume, just the way you smell with nothing covering your body. I wanna smell like you, I want to be close enough so all of me touches all of you, every part. Touch. I need to touch you in every way. The respectful and gentle one. I want to touch you roughly like I own you, even if I don’t, even if I ...
