Sometimes you realize that you lost your trust in the person in front of you, and no matter what you do, you can’t seem to redeem it.

I didn’t trust people like I used to. I couldn’t just be or let my guard down.

When did the word “girly” start being used as an insult or considered a degrading thing?

I thought that if I discovered more, if I met more people, if I tried new different things, and if I spent more time by myself, I would eventually find myself and that I wouldn’t feel as lost as I have always felt.

I wished you could see yourself through my eyes, because then you could see how all the things you thought were so ordinary about you were actually so beautiful and extraordinary.

Sometimes everything feels too much, and everything is overwhelming; even the simplest everyday act seems like a very heavy thing to do because you’ve had enough and you need to get away. 

Maybe someday, this scar won’t look so ugly as it does right now.

I should’ve told you how much you hurt me when you did; instead, I decided to keep quiet because I thought that was the noble thing to do. 

I wish we could get back to the time when we said goodbye to each other for the first time, only to discover later on that it wasn’t really a goodbye but the beginning to a beautiful story.  

Don’t expect them to follow the rules or go with the crowd, because this can be such a hard thing for a creative to do most of the time.

If you find yourself in a relationship where someone brings out the worst in you, don’t just walk away — run.

Love yourself enough so you can be more open to love, care, and support from others because you believe that you deserve it.
