Your love for your parents may not hold them together. Your love for your friends doesn’t mean they will stay forever. Your love for your partner doesn’t mean all arguments can be resolved. 

Even the things you know with utmost certainty can end.

It’s natural to feel lost when the people who should love you unconditionally criticize your entirety, but try to remember that parents are not mystical, all-knowing beings.

Despite sweet birthday wishes from loved ones, you may still ache for the one that isn’t in your life anymore.

This idea can be hard to accept because we all strive to be good people, but regardless of our intentions, we may still impact others negatively.

Regardless of how the relationship ended, thinking about your ex with someone else will always hurt at first.

So much time has passed, yet I’m still holding on to the memories that were only possible when I was younger.

Allowing yourself to feel what you feel is important, even if it means feeling uncomfortable with yourself at times.
