Let’s get lost in the moment and not think about anything else beyond this moment. Let’s be so present in it. 

If you’re still hurting, then you’re hurting—don’t deny this truth.

Let’s pretend in this moment that we don’t have a past to remember. Let’s do what we want to do without thinking about anything else.

To the one who’s so scared to get hurt or broken, please let the world break you.

Sometimes it’s too hard for us to admit that someone we are so in love with and someone that we care about that much could have done something so awful to us.

My dear, sometimes when I hear you talking about me, it breaks my heart, because that “me” that you talk about has nothing to actually do with the real me.

Little did I know that looks can fool you.

It doesn’t mean sacrificing your own happiness in order to please the ones you love and in order to make sure that they are happy.

It’s time to shift the way you look at your previous mistakes—instead of seeing them as these awful things that you regret, look at them as part of your story.

I hope you get to experience the kind of love that makes you blossom and glow.

No amount of love in this world is worth putting yourself through something like this. 

Sometimes we give so much to the people around us that we end up with absolutely nothing left. And that’s okay—it happens.

Discover what’s out there and all that life has to offer. Maybe then you will realize that your biggest dreams aren’t so big after all. 

This is me finally understanding that I shouldn’t carry all this weight on my shoulders.

Hurting you back didn’t ease my pain or help me heal.

I wish I could have known earlier that it’s okay to be flawed, that we are all so perfectly imperfect.

It doesn’t matter if you’re interesting enough for them or not, whether you’re pretty enough for them or not. You realize that what truly matters is what you think of yourself.

I never thought that we could end up being just like any two people who are barely acquaintances to each other, who just gesture to each other in the street out of politeness, who entertain small talk so they can fill in the silence and awkwardness of the moment.
