if someone wants to be in your life, they will be.
am i getting better, or just distracted, am i lost, or was i never meant to be extracted?
sometimes i wish i was worth the risk too. That somewhere someone out there would pursue me and make me the only exception despite all the odds.
see the good around you.
what is gone, is gone. what happened, happened. what you didn't do, can't be done.
church is not a museum of saints, but a hospital for sinners ❤️🩹
never allow people to treat you poorly just because you love them.
I have stopped bringing flowers to the grave of the teenager I used to be.
I have my mother's mouth and my father's eyes; on my face they are still together.
It's mortifying to be the one who remembers.
"don't worry" she said "I've spent my whole life falling in love.
the only way to have more, is to stop holding onto, less.
stop making yourself small for other people's comfort. go where your growth is celebrated.
most people barely know themselves. So what does it matter what they think of you?
be open with your love and loud with your laughter. life is so much brighter when lived genuinely.
keep doing things for you. just for you. for your own recognition. for your own approval. for your own joy. keep doing things that spark confidence and self understanding. keep experiencing yourself.
it will get better. no matter how deeply you hurt you will come out of this alive.
i lived and i loved and i learned to let go.
If it's meant for me, I will have it. If it isn't, i'm prepared to open & receive something even more aligned.
the point of life is learning to let go of it.
do you really want to give up everything? Everything that you and that little girl worked hard for?
before you give up, please remember the younger version of yourself.
forgive yourself for allowing someone to treat you like you're the easier person to let go off.
how odd is to be haunted by someone that is still alive.
the only reason i believe in love is because the way i love.
i want to be myself again. I want to be six. I want to stop knowing everything I know.
is this what growing up is? just leaving things behind, over and over?
don't be too hard on yourself, it's okay to cry, it's okay to feel bad and it's okay if you're not okay choose yourself first, always.
i don't think people love me. They love versions of me I have spun for them, versions of me they have constructed in their minds. The easy versions of me, the easy parts of me to love.
people come & go, that's life.
never revenge, let them realize.
stop overthinking, you can't control everything, just let it be.
never go back to someone who already broke you.
when you are honest, you lose people who don't deserve you.
silence is more powerful than proving your point.
sometimes you miss the memories, not the person. People change and some people fade away, but memories will last forever. One day you'll just be a memory for many people. Do your best to be a good one.
be careful of what you ignore. Sometimes, what you ignore is what you need the most.
train yourself to take nothing personally. You must find courage to leave the table if respect is no longer being serve.
move in silence, never let them know your next move. When you build in silence, people don't know how to attack.
don't trust words, trust actions. People can tell you anything but actions tell you everything.
be happy for no reason. Real happiness is when you are happy for no reason at all.
accept that everyone leaves. No one stays with you permanently so learn how to survive alone.
sometimes, no matter how much love is there, you have to lay it down. You have to walk away. You have to accept that.
be gentle with yourself; you are still learning.
it's okay to want love.
you deserve to be loved and chosen — not almost loved, or almost chosen.
