You know your worth. You’ve finally realized what you deserve and the kind of love you want and you’re not settling anymore, even if you’re lonely or bored.

I still hope that when we meet again, you’ll remember how I made you feel and you’ll realize that this is the time to say it all — this is the time to follow your heart.

She learned about love and relationships the hard way because she had no guidance and no example to follow. She had to learn from trial and error which is why she doesn’t always get it right because she’s still learning.

When I stop calling your name, when I stop praying, please don’t hate me for it, find ways to bring me closer to you again softly and gently.

I’m scared to date you because guys call girls like me ‘non-chill’ or worse ‘needy’ because we love a little harder, we fall a little faster and we don’t care about how long it’s been because our hearts don’t really comprehend time.

They end when you’re scared to show them how much you need them or how you can’t imagine your life without them. They end when the ego replaces the heart.

You think everyone is like your ex. You think everyone is going to treat you the way your ex treated you or they will eventually turn out to be the same person. This mentality subconsciously stops you from giving someone a fair chance because in the back of your mind, you think that it’s only a matter of time before they break your heart.

Assuming that the other person will not be able to handle the truth. Don’t assume that the other person is too sensitive or too emotional to handle it. Even if they are, they’ll always appreciate your honesty over your lies or excuses.

They don’t know that sometimes a smile is the only way to hide your pain and sometimes it’s the only way to show that you’re not broken inside.

Maybe it’s not about attachment, maybe it’s about letting go. Maybe it’s not about finding someone to love but letting go of all the ones you loved before. Maybe it’s about redefining love and what it means to you or maybe it’s about letting go of all the remains of your heartbreak so you can love with all your heart again.

They are pessimistic about love. They don’t believe in it, they think it doesn’t exist, they think it all fades away or maybe they stopped believing in romance, they feed you negative messages about relationships and it becomes difficult for you to get these messages out of your head when you’re dating someone.

The next chapter of your life is about your heart. It’s time to heal it, it’s time to take it back from those who broke it and it’s time to collect all the scattered bits and pieces that were lost somehow with the wrong ones and make yours whole again because your heart is still strong and beating and it needs to remember how to be loved.

To the one who thought I like you means asking for a marriage proposal, who taught you that? To the one who thought leaving with no closure will hurt less, what were you thinking?

The truth is you’re not afraid of love, you’re afraid of heartbreak. You’re not afraid of texting someone first or calling them, you’re afraid they won’t respond. You’re not afraid of saying I miss you, you just don’t think the other person cares to know.

Thank you for making the road easier, the music louder, the darkness lighter and the bumps smoother

It’s time to decide if you want to be loved or you want to stay broken.

We talk to them for weeks or months without really knowing what we are, because we don’t want to push them away or pressure them, so we pretend to be cool with not knowing because we’re not in a hurry to be exclusive either and we pretend to like the grey are because it gives us options, but we don’t really want to talk to anyone else.

I forgive you for all the lonely nights. In a way, they made me fearless, in a way, they taught me how to enjoy my own company and in a way, they made me unafraid of loneliness.
