Why would I need

But maybe someday

Someone somewhere is searching for you in every person they meet.

It’s never too late to change the direction that your life is going in.

It’s okay to wait for the love you deserve, do not compromise or settle because of loneliness.

Some things are better left unsaid. Some questions are better left unanswered. Some people are better left in the past. Do not expect the person who left you to choose you again. They only miss you. They only came back to something familiar. But they will never choose you again. They have never loved you no matter what they told you. Because if they did, they would never have left you in the first place. And then once again for the second time. It was silly of you to wish for that. It was silly of me.

I don’t miss him. I miss the feelings I had when I was with him.

If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather. Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.

I’ve never felt more loved and more hurt, by the same person.

I’m always going to wonder when you stopped loving me.

I guess that’s just part of loving people: You have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up.

And so I drink, I drink until the bottle is emptier than I am.

1. Never leave cookies in the oven too long. Even if they’re still really soft, take them out after the recommended time. When they cool they will harden. Trust me, no one likes cookies that taste like rocks. 2. Always take a jacket. Even if you think you’ll be fine. Even if you’ll be inside. Even if there’s a heater. Bring your jacket. 3. Don’t be afraid to reach out and ask for help when you need it because everyone needs help sometimes. 4. The best pancake recipe is 1 cup equal parts flour and milk, ½ cup sugar and a pinch of baking powder. Add chocolate chips for extra deliciousness. 5. Go outside every day. Even if you don’t want to. Even if you have to use all your strength to drag yourself out of bed. The sunshine might not cure your problems, but it’ll do you so much good to breathe fresh air. 6. Don’t let your hobbies fade away. Keep reading, keep drawing, keep singing, keep painting, keep running. Keep doing what you love. 7. Carbs are not the enemy. They fuel your brain. So eat those potatoes and that rice and don’t you feel guilty about it for one second. 8. I know it sounds cliché but time really does heal all wounds. Give yourself 6 months and it won’t hurt so much, trust me. 9. Be kind. There is no reason for you to put someone down. 10. Learn to love yourself loudly and unconditionally and never apologise for it. 11. If you ever find yourself involved with someone who treats you like you’re nothing, run for the hills and never look back. They don’t deserve you. 12. Rose hip oil is a miracle worker. Gently rub over your face each night before bed and your skin will feel like silk. 13. Drink. Three. Litres. Of. Water. Every. Day. 14. Take pictures. Document everything. One day you’re gonna want to look back at all of this, make sure you have the photos to look at. 15. Let go of anything that weighs you down. The past is the past and there’s nothing we can do to change it. Every day is a another chance for us to do better, to be better. 16. Spend as much time as you can with the people who make you laugh. 17. Set up goals for yourself and keep yourself motivated in whatever you’re doing. Always have something to work towards. 18. Try to make your bed every morning. Yes it’s a hassle when you’re half asleep but there is no better feeling then coming home to a nice clean freshly made bed, especially if you’ve had a bad day. 19. Treat yourself but also look after yourself. Eat lots of fruits and veggies and move your body then dance all night and have a doughnut as a midnight snack. Life is about balance. 20. Never be afraid to love, even if you’ve been hurt before. Live life with an open heart and you might be vulnerable but you will experience so much joy.
