It's okay to love silence in the choas. It's okay if you cringe remembering embarrassing moments. It's okay to fail sometimes. It's okay if someone thinks you're stupid. It's okay if some things don't come your way. It's okay if your wishes didn't come true. It's okay to cry under the shower. It's okay to feel guilt and regret. It's okay if you love loneliness.

We are judged for being a member of 'that' family. We are judged for being a student of 'this' University. We are judged for the place we work all day And for the friends we hangout with on holiday.

The words you swallowed in front of your parents, The weird dreams you never shared to your partner, The tears you hide fr...
