We’re all a little broken in some way. If you can even let one person in to see the scary parts and to even listen to you when you don’t feel good enough then you’re already starting the healing process.

You know one more taste is going to be so bittersweet because it’s not love and you know that. You know deep down inside that this person isn’t the one but they definitely are a one. One that can stay as long as they want.

There is nothing wrong with having high numbers (as long as you’re being safe!) or with having low numbers. The amount of sexual partners we have in our life time is not reflective of the soul beneath us.

Moving is scary. Quitting your reliable desk job for your dream job is scary. Falling in love is scary.

That’s the thing about toxic people, you don’t know they’re really that toxic until you come up for air.

When you start to pick up the pieces of your soul that lay broken at the moment, you can start to look at the pieces. You can analyze the ones that no longer serve you and the ones you should always keep because they make up you.

Maybe for you, you find relief when you get lost in an amazing album by that singer who magically sings the soundtrack to your current life. Or maybe you deal with your pain when you talk to that friend who just gets it.

It’s easy to remember the times you were less than stellar and keep those as proof that your pattern is more just the way it is now. That there’s no way you can change and be happy with permanent.

It’s the kind of love that I thought was just magic and amazing without any struggle. Of course to a naïve child, I didn’t see the work and effort they put into their relationship.

What if I am doomed to roam this Earth knowing what love feels like and knowing it’s never going to feel that way again?

It is a personal decision you make when you feel it’s the right one for you. It’s a decision you make when your heart is open and you know exactly what you want to do.

People often think because of this that either my dad wasn’t around or my parents weren’t good parents. Both of those things aren’t true. I don’t have dad issues, my mom is my best friend and my family is one of those good ones many people dream they have.
