Maya x paolo
Mental illness .noun.
Any of various conditions that affect a person's thoughts, emotions, or behaviors
Feeling as if you don't belong or don't deserve anything good is a different type of feeling. I used to be so sad thinking about how this thoughts would take control of me. The people in my life it would affect. In our community mental health is always down played or deems you as crazy. Not feeling like myself sucks but I'm grateful for the people I have in my life.
My care things have slowly went away and stopped worrying if when and how I was going to die. I could die today, tomorrow, the next day after that and so forth. My death could either be from my own thoughts/doings or natural causes. I just want peace not problems.
He came along and made my life better. My days were brighter, and my chest was lighter. Sometimes I get in my head on if he would ever cheat or leave me. I know that's not true but it's still hard to fight the thoughts.
"Babe I'm home and I brought back some American deli"
I didn't respond back because I was deep in my thoughts and just felt sad
" hey lover what's the matter?"
We just stare at each other for a little while before I open my mouth to speak
"What about me is so hard to love?" I asked this question sat in my mind for the time being. Tears start to form in my my eyes and I hate it.
"Nothing about you is hard to love. Acceptance is always the first step. I love you for you. Some of the days are hard but you are worth so much. You're more than enough I love everything about you and more"
Silence starts among the two Maya takes in the words said. She couldn't be more thankful to have someone be there for her. One thing she knew for sure is that paolo was her person.
" thank you so much. You're my comfort person. I cherish you more than you know. I love you indefinitely my love"
"How about this you make a bucket list of where you want to go, vist, and do. I just want to bring you peace"
I didn't give a verbal response I just nodded my head with a look that said thank you.
Paolo and Maya spent the night eating there American deli while watching NCIS. Their bedroom gave her so much peace. It had so much of a safe feeling like no other. He even made the effort to run her a relaxing bath and give a massage.
What Maya doesn't know is he made sure to book a mental health day tomorrow and treat her. She matters the most to him. She was comfort his person and he was definitely her comfort person.
Being loved and appreciated is such a blessing. The right person should provide you comfort and make you feel safe.
I'm back!!!
This was something quick I came up with. It's been a while and trust me that it's always going to be a while. I think it's different when you realize your not a middle schooler who writes cringey things for fun lol. It's definitely a process. If you have any plot ideas or requests I'll be happy to take them. Hope you guys like this and tell me what I can do to improve.
Love yourz,
Niya 💟
