I hope you find yourself again in all this chaos and heartbreak. I hope you fall back into the things you love about life and not just the part of your life you loved someone. I hope you learn to like walking alone and realize you don’t have to be lonely doing so.

Heartbreak. Rejection. Failure. All these determinants at the moment don’t feel like blessings in disguise but that’s exactly what they are.

I mumbled, ‘thank you God’ in many prayers more times than I could count on Sundays.

When I was little I looked up to my teachers, thinking they had all the answers. Thinking once I grew up I’d know as much as they did and things would be easy.

He says he tells his sister he’s dating someone. And I guess that’s what it is.

Timing. I wrote a while back soul mates that find their way back into each other’s lives after fives years. And messages still fill my inbox asking if we are still together.

We end just as we started a little scared, a bit nervous, certainly unsure of the road ahead but we continue on holding more onto faith than doubt. Trust over uncertainty. Hope over skepticism.

July – You ruin your life going back to the people who hurt you.

If you can get over this people and forgive them it will be your strongest friendship

And your faith in love and relationships is going to be restored again.

When a narcissist emotionally abuses you and tries to take you down, realize the only reason they are doing that is out of envy and seeing something within you they wish they had. Even if they won’t admit it.

Attempting to make someone jealous is a phase in the healing process. But when you’re healed you won’t even care about that anymore.

Love her in the moments where she does make a mistake and is wrong and teach her it’s okay she’s not perfect because to you she is.

1. Apologizing more than they should. Anyone who has come out of one of these relationships is used to taking ownership of entire relationships. They are used to being at fault.

I know in the future where I’m asking for things and wondering why you are ignoring me.

I want them to know with certainty I shut down the person who hit on me because no one else matters but the one I’m coming home to.

Telling you lies like you can’t leave. What that translates to is I can’t let you leave I need you.

If I could tell my younger self-anything it would be to put down your phone and wait for the person who shows the fuck up not that one who says he will.
