There is so much beauty in rejection you stayed on the same path for so long and now you have no choice but to follow one of the new winding roads that lie ahead of you

To realize, only after that what you had was not what you needed is true freedom

For two years I hadn't spent a day without hearing your voice It has been one month and tonight I heard your voice I looked into your eyes I touched you and you sounded like a dream you looked like a stranger you felt like a ghost

For once in my life, I feel true freedom. Acceptance for everything that is and is not and for everything that is to come.

You did not treat me with the pure, gentle love that I deserve you gave me indifference you grew out of me but maybe, I was growing out of you too and I just did not realize it because I was so flooded with the idea of love

Recenter your energy. Place your focus entirely on your healing. This is no one else's time right now. It is yours.

And you know what? When the door closes right in your face - when it slams. And you think it’s all over. It’s not. It’s not over. It’s the beginning of the rest of your life. So many mad, beautiful moments are right around the corner. Don’t give up.

Take a shower. Wash him out of your system. You don’t need him. You never did.

You must view the world as yours. Move with conviction. Know that anything you desire is within an arm's reach. Make it happen. For you.
