I’m Here to Stay

“Nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first understood.”

“And now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good.”

“He saw her before he saw anything else in the room.”

“I always wonder why birds choose to stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the Earth. Then I ask myself the same question.”

“So much of what we learn about love is taught be people who never really loved us.”

“Where were you when everything was falling apart?”

“I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.”

“It’s a constant back and forth between my head and my heart. My head tells me to let you go, that you bring me nothing but pain. While my heart tells me to hold on, that some love is worth fighting for.”

“Write about the lessons you’ve learned this year: 1. There are hard days. Sometimes you hate to get up in the morning, or cry yourself to sleep at night. But those days will pass. 2. Sometimes, you just have to accept you’re not feeling well. Cancel your plans, make some food and stay in bed. Sometimes, that’s exactly what you need. 3. However, don’t let your feelings take over. It’s okay to do nothing for a day, or two. But don’t make it a week. 4. I know I did let my feelings take over way too much. I stayed in bed, did nothing all day. Until the point that I had to get out. 5. Getting out of bed can feel good. Make your bed, eat some breakfast. Just do something. And be proud of yourself for what you’ve accomplished - even if it’s just eating breakfast. 6. Don’t be angry at yourself, that never works out. 7. Just take care. Of yourself, your mind, your body, everything. And accept the fact that sometimes things just don’t work out the way you want to. 8. Don’t shut people out. They are there to help. 9. You are the one that has to pick up the pieces after a breakdown. But you’re not alone, even if it feels like you are. 10. Sometimes I think I’ve control over my feelings, but I don’t. They come and go. I just have to accept that. Sometimes the feelings are just too much, and I have to take a step back. Start again. There’s always a second chance.”
