They always try to make you remember after you have finally forgotten

And sometimes, people have to be moved from the list of things you love to the things you used to love

We often sacrifice pieces of ourselves just to feel wanted

Remind yourself that he never intended on staying You were more vacation destination than home You had already started hanging up framed memories as he was packing up his suitcase to leave

Do not hold on to the potential of what could have been. If it should have been, it would have been.

We must stop to smell the roses before we're buried beneath them.

This might sound strange, but I don't know if I actually like being called "beautiful." I'd prefer you tell me that I inspire you to be better, that I motivate you to chase your dreams, that I am encouraging and loving, that I have a beautiful heart. Tell me something substantial. Compliment my character. Outer "beauty" is overrated.

I miss you, but I miss myself more
