“You don’t deserve someone who comes back, you deserve someone who never leaves.”

“This is not a goodbye, my darling, this is a thank you. Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.”

“Sometimes all you can do is lie in bed and hope to fall asleep before you fall apart.”

“My only relief is to sleep. When I’m sleeping, I’m not sad, I’m not angry, I’m not lonely, I’m nothing.”

“How a person reacts to your sadness says a lot about how long they’re going to be in your life.”

“Being happy is a very personal thing and it really has nothing to do with anyone else.”

“If you knew how hard it was, and how long it took, to rebuild my little universe of peace and happiness then you would understand why I’m so picky about who I allow in my life.”

“I’m proud of my heart. It’s been played, stabbed, cheated, burned, and broken, but somehow it still works.”

“The more you hide your feelings, the more they show. The more you deny your feelings, the more they grow.”

“In life you will realize there is a role for everyone you meet. Some will test you. Some will use you. Some love you. Some will teach you. But the ones who are truly important are the ones who bring out the best in you.”

“I feel very small. I don’t understand. I have so much courage, fire, energy, for many things, yet I get so hurt, so wounded by small things.”

“Breathe. You’re going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They’re painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you’ll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.”

“Some days are tougher and all you can do is take a deep breath. But that’s okay, you are doing your best.”
