Not all happy endings have a happy beginning, so don’t get harder just because it gets harder.

There are two moments when I feel discomfort: when I’m doing something I’m NOT supposed to do, and when I’m doing something I AM supposed to do.

The weak will never beat the strong. Fear will never beat love.

I am here to point out that everybody, man or woman, has one thing in common: being good at relationships. 

We have nothing left to do but say goodbye.

It took me a while to realize this but being the perfect girl who never gets drunk, doesn’t sleep around, and needs every single person to validate everything she does is NOT what makes you dateable.

Your emotional detachment from your own life is affecting how you treat other people.

You cry yourself to sleep weekly, wondering why you were not good enough for him.

I’m choosing me.

I am grateful for the gifts you have given me, and for my ability to recognize them within myself. My intuition, empathy, and ability to heal others can feel like a curse sometimes, but I know they are blessings to help guide me through life.

What you saw as your harmless fun, was his toxic misery.

Now that you are here, I don’t want to imagine a life without you and I know I don’t have to.

I want to love you, but the endless toll of lost love is holding me back.

I want to be loved as my own one-person species, and independent of all other outside phenomena.

You’re allowed to be a bitch and then give a completely long, drawn out apology about how much of a bitch you were. You’re allowed to tell someone when they keep reminding you of your bitchy moment to shut up.

Once upon a time, there was a boy. Well, actually, there were several boys. But more importantly, once upon a time, there was a young woman.

You couldn’t possibly like me, because I haven’t cried into my pillow over you, or written a sad poem about how we never really got to know each other despite how much we lusted for one another.

I’ll let you in on a little secret: it has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with the people you are attracting.
