I asked you to say it again, say it over and over and over.

I won’t choose to return.

Everyone wants to be there for you when you are publicly sad.

I sometimes wonder if we are destined to cross paths with other people.

There is no way to predict how our decisions will affect the outcomes of our lives, but I have learned that it is better to reflect than to regret.

She wants you to know her pain, but she doesn’t want you to leave.

A strong woman doesn’t fall often. But when a strong woman falls, she completely lets go.

When you surround yourself with people who love you, everything has purpose.

It did not take 3 holidays
27 weekends
4 weeks of international flying
6 bottles of tequila

Loving yourself after trauma is committing to yourself. It is committing to your background, knowing where you’ve been and how you will move on.

If you were a poem,
I would translate you into every language
so every person would want to read you.

I hope I always stay in your mind, somewhere, even when life consumes you and you find happiness somewhere else.
