2017 taught me to know my worth. I adopted a carefree attitude. I’m happy where I am. And I won’t let you break me.

Healing from trauma is realizing that you aren’t the same person. There is the “old, before trauma” you – and the “new” you.

You promise that you’re going to spend less time on your phone, less time snap chatting, on social media. But truth is, you can’t.

Let go of what’s not supposed to happen.

Girls who remain single for long periods of time have had time to focus on themselves.

Alpha personalities never stop. They can and will not understand lazy, unmotivated people.

When I stopped caring what others thought, my life fell into place.

So forget about that person who left you hanging. The one who keeps trying to creep back into your life.

No moral compass. A malignant narcissist doesn’t seem to have a conscience.

You like solidarity.

You can make new friends, in a new city, and live a life so full that you don’t miss your past. You’re allowed to be happy.

Sometimes there’s so much more out there for us then what we desire.

Relationships are meant to bring out the best in us, not the worst.

You can waste your time trying to make things happen, or move on and know it’s not right.

Taylor Swift is every person who has been made a fool. She is every person who has been wronged. Because sometimes you try to be the better person, but people just don’t give you a break.

The truth about starting over is that it’s scary.

Ghosting is staring at your phone. Ghosting is wondering what you did wrong. It’s second-guessing yourself. It’s honestly pathetic.

But stop acting like you’re entitled to love. Like you deserve it.
