I was done wasting my own time and breaking my own heart. I was done apologizing for having feelings and standards for how to be treated. I was done sabotaging myself and dragging him down with me.

You’ll experience the bittersweet victory of radical change and growth.

You deserve to be appreciated for staying involved in something that’s important to you.

If someone thinks caring makes you clingy, dump their ass and find someone who appreciates your rare and beautiful soul.

You’re the sea, and I’m the land. While you will always be there to brush up against me and wash parts of me off the edge, you’ll never stay. You’ll never commit.

Love rarely hits you like a bolt of lightning. Some of the best and most successful relationships started slowly and with little to no expectation. A slow and steady burn is so much more romantic than something that hits you all at once.

I can’t imagine a heart that doesn’t have you painted all over it,
and a mind that doesn’t shout your name.
I bleed with false hope and wishful thinking,
as I come after you all over again.

Thank you for fulfilling my lifelong dream of having a sister.

I will not entertain thoughts of quitting before I’ve even tried. That’s madness.

You faced fears, challenged boundaries, and worked hard when it mattered most. That makes you brave.

I don’t know how to love lightly. I’m not even entirely sure that I know how to do anything lightly.

Boundaries are essential, especially in almost relationships. You don’t owe a single thing to a person who hasn’t committed to you yet (or won’t commit to you at all).
