“It’s 11:11 a.m. and no, I’m not wishing for a boy to love me or to fall in love, because I’m wishing to see my father make my mother laugh one more time because to me, that’s the greatest love anyone can wish for”

Heres to the girls who’s hearts were broken by a man long before any boy got ahold of it. Heres to the girls who believe that they can’t be loved because the one man who was supposed to always love them didn’t. Heres to the girls who can’t stay in a relationship because all they were ever taught was how to leave one. Heres to the girls who are in an abusive relationship and don’t know it because it’s what they grew up seeing. Heres to the girls who can’t trust men because the man they were supposed to always be able to count on left. Heres to the girls who are scared to have kids because they never want their kids to face the same pain they had to endure. Heres to the girls who refuse to say they have a dad because all their father ever was is a man who helped create them.

I have my father’s eyes and my mother’s lips. At least in my face they’re still together.

True friends are families which you can select.

No one can hate you with more intensity than someone who used to love you.
