Don’t let me hold on to what I need to let go of. Don’t let me fight for what I need to release. Do not let me desire what will eventually destroy me. Do not let me love those who will break my heart.

It’s not your fault that they’re looking for something casual and something temporary when you’re looking for something real and maybe forever.

You’ll get over them when you understand the importance of being valued, respected, listened to, cared for and loved. When you understand that love is more than just drunk texts and likes and flirty comments.

But the truth is, some people make the timing right, they make the distance closer, they make the journey safer. They make the hard times easier and they make themselves ready.

The reason why it hurts so much is because it brings your insecurities and your fears back to life. It forces you to take a closer look and examine every flaw and every imperfection.

Heartbreak makes you feel entitled to act like an asshole because you’ve been hurt and people should unequivocally understand that.

I’m slowly learning to let things end because some things are not meant to last forever. Some things only last for a little while. Some people are just here to teach us a lesson and then leave.

Maybe we’re lost because we’re searching for answers from those who have the same questions. Maybe we’re lost because we’ve been trying to seek guidance from those who are going off course.

Maybe then we’ll understand what kind of love we really deserve and we’ll learn not to settle for those who can’t love us or those who treat us poorly.

I miss being understood. I miss being accepted. I miss being loved.

Sometimes it feels like you have everything but it also means nothing. Sometimes it feels like you’re only putting on a show and now you’re running out of ideas.

You can’t just text me out of the blue and demand a response after going months without texting me, after you made me wait anxiously for a response I never got.

It’s hard for you to find love because you found more safety in your loneliness. You like knowing that you don’t have to deal with anyone who could be lying to you or cheating on you or about to break your heart. You like having the upper hand.

I think I’m starting to understand the benefits of heartbreak. It humbles you. It makes you realize that no matter who you are and what you do, you’re still not for everyone and not everyone will admire you the way you think they will.

1. You’re not happy. You’re always crying. You’re feeling down all the time and it’s affecting your well-being, your productivity, your energy and your mood. 2. Your contact is diminishing.

It’s not enough just to like someone. A crush is not enough. You have to make them feel wanted. You have to make them feel valued.

Thank you for reminding us not to settle for half-love or almost relationships or excuses or maybes. Thank you for showing us that we can be a priority. Thank you for reminding us that those who love us will always put us first.

Love is not supposed to be painful. Suffering is not always the by-product of love.
