Maybe we need to stop worrying so much about things we might lose because he’s never going to take away something that’s good for us. He’s never going to take away something he can’t replace.

It’s not a crime to want someone who only wants you. It’s not a crime to want someone who doesn’t call you crazy just because you care.

The beauty in starting over is that it helps you find the blessings in endings. The good in goodbyes and what lies on the other side of fear, the magic that lies beyond your comfort zone and the wonderful things life has to offer you when you decide to look up.

It’s dangerous to ask for reassurance from the ones who are unsure about you. It’s dangerous to wait for someone else to give you what you’re looking for without trying to find it in yourself first. Without trying to find it in the world first.

I found myself chasing something real, something reassuring, something beautiful, something honest. I found myself going after things you would have never given me.

Sometimes I wonder if I’m the one, your girl, the one who makes it till the end, the one who finally steals your heart and completes your love story, the one everyone was rooting for, the one that everyone wanted you to end up with.

I hope I don’t like you because if I do, I’m going to mess things up and you might leave. Because I get nervous and I stop making sense when your eyes look at me.

Date someone who’s looking for quality because that’s the only way they’ll appreciate you, that’s the only way they’ll understand what you truly have to offer. Anyone else will only like you under certain conditions.

I’m here to take back all the pieces of myself I left in you. I need them to make me whole again. Apparently, even the broken pieces of me still work. Apparently, I can still fix what you broke. As long as I do it. As long as you stay out of it.

You’re learning that it’s healthy to be vulnerable. You’re starting to embrace your vulnerability, your tears and all the things you used to associate with ‘weakness.’ You’re learning that it makes you human and that trying to be tough all the time is one big lie. Vulnerability is another form of strength.

I’m learning to trust him instead of trying to change what he has written for me. I’m learning that it’s my story but he’s the director. He’s the one who makes it all come together. He’s the one who makes it all make sense because he’s involved in every aspect of it.

Sometimes it’s how you realize that God has better things planned for you so you can let go.

And someone who settles for less will never be able to give you more. Someone who’s into casual dating will never give you commitment. Someone who’s known for being selfish and just craves the attention will never give you loyalty.

Your passion is like the person who finally shows you how you should be treated and how you should be loved after being with so many people who broke your heart and took you for granted.

It’s the leftovers of me. The parts you broke. The trust you destroyed. The fear you evoked.

You learn that for the wrong person, you’ll never be enough and it’s not your fault.

Part of me just wants to tell you that you don’t have to be nice or cordial because it all doesn’t matter now. It’s all the same to me. You’re not mine and until you are, there’s nothing you can do that will fix it.

They embrace imperfections. They embrace chaos. They embrace differences and they’re compassionate. Their mission is to heal and fix people. Their mission to is to try to rebuild what others have destroyed.
