But please don't cry, you liar

You never apologized to me for hurting me, but I apologized to you 12 times for being angry about it.

The real thing is that you are suffering from your expectations. When they are not fulfilled—and they are never going to be fulfilled—frustration arises, failure arises, and you feel neglected, as if existence does not care for you. Drop expectations for the future. Remain open, remain available to whatsoever happens, but don’t plan ahead. Don’t make psychological, fixed ideas about the future—that things should be ‘like this'—and much suffering will disappear.

It’s a bad habit of mine to say “I’m sorry” as a reaction to everything. It comes out whenever I’m sad, scared, or confused, even when I’m the one getting hurt.

If they truly love you, you’ll never need to chase them, convince them, or beg them for anything.

Sometimes you need to take a step backward before you move forward again. Let your body rest, and your mind heal. Let the wounds mend, and time pass. Only you know when you are ready to begin again.

You know what’s weird? Day by day, nothing seems to change, but pretty soon everything’s different.
