"when your heart breaks, you have to fight like hell to make sure you’re still alive. that pain you feel? that’s life. the confusion and fear? that’s there to remind you that somewhere out there, there’s something better."

#BYE

"This is why you should never, ever get your hopes up. This is why you should see the glass as half empty. So when the whole thing spills, you aren’t as devastated."

We teach people how to treat us. If you don’t settle for anything less than respect, that’s what you’ll get. But if you let the douchebags walk all over you and treat you like you’re disposable, then that’s what you’ll always get.

Kinda pointless to fight for what you want when what you want continues to break your heart.

…and it suddenly occurred to me, it wasn’t you that I missed; it was who I had believed you were for so long.

"People are more likely to say you’ve changed as soon as you stop acting the way they’d like you to act."

There comes a time when you have to stop crossing oceans for people who wouldn’t even jump puddles for you.

He may still love you. He probably does. He probably doesn’t know what he wants. He probably still thinks about you all the time. But that isn’t what matters. What matters is what he’s doing about it, and what he’s doing about it is nothing. And if he’s doing nothing, you most certainly shouldn’t do anything. You need someone who goes out of their way to make it obvious that they want you in their life.

Down for whatever, not lookin' for forever

Some things are meant to be broken and I won't settle to be one of them.

Let’s ignore each other, and try to pretend the other doesn’t exist. But deep down, we both know it wasn’t supposed to end like this.

You don't know what you put me through. But it's all okay, I've forgotten about you. And in some way, I hope it fucks with you. To know I'm okay and I made it through

If i'm going to be alive, i might as well be incredible.

Never allow loneliness to drive you into the arms of someone you know you don’t belong with.

Love, if this is how you choose to leave me let me let you.

I demand unconditional love and complete freedom. That is why I am terrible.

"I think you need to fall in love with the wrong person. I think you need to fight and cry and sweat and bleed and fail. I think you need to have bad relationships and bad breakups. I think you need all of that so that when the right person and the right relationship comes along you can sigh with relief and say, “Ah yes. That is how its supposed to feel."

You’re still going to get criticized, so you might as well do whatever the fuck you want.

no one belongs here more than you

Let them miss you. Sometimes when you’re always available, they take you for granted because they think you’ll always stay

JOHN MAYER, MARRY ME.

“… All you need is love” is a lie, ‘Cause we had love but we still said goodbye, Now we’re tired battle fighters… And it stings when it’s nobody’s fault, ‘Cause there’s nothing to blame at the drop of your name, It’s only the air you took and the breath you left. So I’ll check the weather wherever you are, ‘Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight. It might be my only right, We shared the sadness, Split-screen sadness…”

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, and then throw it in the face of the person who gave you the lemons until they give you the oranges you originally asked for.”

.

and i'm telling you all the shit you're dying to hear but oh no i'm living a pretty good life without you near

No shit, just kiddin'

"And when I asked you how you’d been I meant I missed you more than I’ve ever missed anything before."

Love love love love

“I think if I’ve learned anything about friendship, it’s to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don’t walk away, don’t be distracted, don’t be too busy or tired, don’t take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.”

It was easier when I thought he hated me. At least then, I knew there was no going back

A heartbreak isn't always as loud as a bomb exploding. Sometimes, it's like a feather falling & the only person who can hear it is you.

you can't hold me back, im as good as gone this time, but the hardest part about leaving is knowing that its a one way trip and im going.

You let go, so now it's my turn. I can accept that, but when I find happiness, don't decide you love me

don't let him have the satisfaction of knowing you'll always be there waiting

But love like that doesn’t just disappear, does it? No matter how powerful the hate, there is always a little love left underneath

Honesty is a very expensive gift; don’t expect it from cheap people.

It was delicious losing you.

He shouldn't have left at all. There was no reason for it. Well, maybe there were some reasons. But they weren't good enough.

“I mean, it’s stupid to miss someone you didn’t even get along with. But, I don’t know, it was nice, you know, having someone you could always fight with.”

JUST SAYIN'

"Well, let’s face it, you’re not stupid. You knew there were a lot of things wrong in the relationship, you just chose to ignore them because there were so many good things you didn’t want to give up. Now, you’re at the point in your life where you’re strong enough to give up the good stuff. You’re strong enough to expect more from your life. I’m proud of you for that. Most women aren’t that strong. They’re so terrified of being alone that they stay with the wrong guy, rather than risk loneliness waiting for the right guy."

I collect the words you say to me and wear them on a string around my neck, close to the pulse in my throat, the thump of my heart

I don't really think people can change. You know? At the end of the day, you are who you are and it's probably who you've always been

Letting go is something you do when you still love someone, but don't believe in them anymore.

If it’s meant for you, you won’t have to beg for it. You will never have to sacrifice your dignity for your destiny.

My face above the water, my feet can't touch the ground and it feels like i can see the sands on the horizon every time you're not around. I'm slowly drifting away, wave after wave... and it feels like i'm drowning.

When it comes to men who are romantically interested in you, it’s really simple. Just ignore everything they say and only pay attention to what they do.

Goodbyes hurt more than anything. Especially when deep down, you know you will never say "hello" again

Sometimes you make no mistakes, do everything right, and still lose

I'd give anything to get that feeling back again.

The only thing more shocking than the truth are the lies people tell to cover it up.

"If people want to let you go, just let them do it. They may not understand who you are. So don’t play around with fire; don’t give them their cake and let them eat it too. Here is your rule of thumb: they either commit to you or get none of you."

I know I sort of pushed you away. But even if I hadn't done that, I doubt you would have stayed.

Flashback to the night when you said 'I'm never going to leave you, and you know that'. So, where are you know?

But I think maybe the thing I did wrong, was put up with all his shit for far too long

Once you had the best, babe you can't do better.

There you have it folks, young love. Full of promise, full of hope and ignorant to reality

Sometimes I wonder if I'm just chasing a fantasy

Love, if this is how you choose to leave me let me let you.

You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn’t mean you’re defective - it just means you’re human.
