Bonsai of Thoughts: One Hundred and Ninety-Nine

1. Men want sex,
even if they have to lie for it.
Women want love,
even if they have to lie for it.
Neither returns empty-handed.

2. People think, not today, some other day.
Some other day does come,
but mostly for bad things.
Celebration should never be postponed.

3. : I want you to become your best self.
: What if who I am now is already my best?

4. If you truly wish to help me,
leave me alone and go far away.

5. Everything will go your way—
shake off this thought from your mind
if you want to keep your mind well.

6. From those with oversized egos,
it's futile to expect good behavior
instead of love.

7. : Why are you crying?
: Because my days were more beautiful than this.

8. Never try to know a person completely
if you want to keep them close.
People flee first from those
who try to unlock all their secret doors.

9. Accept me.
I live well within you.

10. The most essential knowledge in this world is:
knowing how to keep yourself well.

11. Do we really know anything?
Don't we just imagine everything our own way?

12. Whatever happens, let it happen,
only one thing works in my head:
I will never leave you and go anywhere.

13. What women once distrust,
trying to make them believe again
is simply a waste of time.

14. Try to understand me
before you love me.
Rather than being life partners with someone who loves me but doesn't understand me,
I'd rather be friends with someone who understands me, even if they don't love me.

15. Come, forgetting everything, keeping no regrets in mind,
let's go away together somewhere and spend some time.

16. I know that one day you too
will become my cherished memory.

17. Instead of saying love-shove, tell me directly what you need, so that
accepting you or turning you away becomes easy for me.
This will save time for both of us.

18. Most people at dinner invitations
eat extra food out of shame or greed
before others' eyes, not from hunger in their belly.

19. This pain, this anxiety, this fear—
how will I forget them, even if
happy days come one day?

20. I don't distrust anyone by judging who's good, who's bad.
I distrust everyone, because
these days I am busy and tired.
