what if

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.

You had to stand there saying:I love you, I love you, I love you we’re soul mates, you and I, but that doesn’t mean it works that doesn’t mean it works that means my soul can’t bear to be without yours but that doesn’t mean it works

Your name no longer makes me smile.

I will not be your “sometimes”.

I hope one day somebody loves you so much

Letting go isn’t a one time thing. It’s something you have to do everyday, over and over again.

I wonder how biology can explain the physical pain you feel in your chest when all you want to do is be with someone.

There’s so much more to life than finding someone who will want you, or being sad over someone who doesn’t. There’s a lot of wonderful time to be spent discovering yourself without hoping someone will fall in love with you along the way, and it doesn’t need to be painful or empty. You need to fill yourself up with love. Not anyone else. Become a whole being on your own. Go on adventures, fall asleep in the woods with friends, wander around the city at night, sit in a coffee shop on your own, write on bathroom stalls, leave notes in library books, dress up for yourself, give to others, smile a lot. Do all things with love, but don’t romanticize life like you can’t survive without it. Live for yourself and be happy on your own. It isn’t any less beautiful, I promise.
