Happy Huesday “safe heaven” by sugary

Do you remember how it felt not to be scared of love? To be completely vulnerable, be free from all fears, and to be thoroughly carefree? When love was a simple as ‘she loves him’ and ‘he loves her’, oblivious and ignorant at the concept of betrayal, games and manipulation. I remember that feeling.

We are all hopeless romantics, some more so than others. I dont think anyone of us would refuse the chance to love, and be loved well. Sometimes it dawned on me that maybe, at this age there might be no such thing as true love. Or at the very least it is getting harder to find true love. Listening to stories laced with heartbreaks and tinged with sadness, it is so easy to lose faith in love.

But on the other days, for me love is still as simple and obvious as black and white. Love is simple through its absoluteness. It is a decision to commit all for nothing. There is no games, no manipulation, no grey areas. I still see love everyday, and I still feel love everyday.

I hope everyone finds their safe haven, a secure place where you can rest your heart and not feel anything but love and gratefulness. Someone who understands that you are only human and has many flaws. Someone who understands your vulnerability and knows how to make you feel whole again after a long day. Someone who holds your hand and washes away all your fears, anxieties and pain no matter what they are and what they stem from. I hope everyone finds someone who makes them feel heard amongst the other voices in the world, someone who proves to you that there are love that could stand the time and the elements of life. Someone that would be your forever person for as long as you both shall live.

And for me, i have found my safe heaven.
