There is no greater power than that of the sun, the moon, and a woman who knows her worth.

I'm not mad af myself for giving my love to the wrong people; they probably needed it the most.

I have a bad habit in searching beauty in beasts and forever in temporary people

Be kind, it's gangster.

The most powerless thing women can do is let an inconsistent guy know she will stay, waiting for him to reach potential he doesn't have.

You act like it's you against the world when really it's you against yourself

how could I love you for all those years and now all I'm asking is for you to please leave me alone

God, this kiss. It was the kind she’d remember forever, that would invade her dreams and haunt her in quiet moments. The kind her older self could look back on and know, once, she’d really lived. The kind that, no matter what, she could never, ever regret.

It was one of those awful moments where you have no control over your reaction, when the pain is too exposed to hide.

The unfair thing about the whole situation was that she still missed him sometimes, or rather the good parts about him.

Cheaters are people who have a lot of stuff to work out, and they’re working it out on your time and with your heart.

That night with you, nothing compared to it. Nothing ever came close.

So much time had gone by, but emotionally, it still felt like yesterday

Inside I knew he was meant to be the boy who taught me about life. Even if he broke my heart eventually.

The Bad Boy. This one will probably steal your heart in your early 20’s, in those years when you’re trying to figure out who you are and who you want to be, and discovering your wings seems to come with a side of rebellion. You’ll think you can change him, but you can’t. (And secretly, you won’t want to, because if you did, he’d no longer be the boy who stole your heart). He’ll make you cry as much or more as he makes you laugh. Underneath it all, you suspect he has a heart of gold…and he probably does…but it will take years and many women after you to uncover it. Here’s the thing about bad boys: In the end, they always walk away. But they don’t leave you empty-handed. In their wake will be a girl who now knows what she wants out of love and what she won’t ever again stand for. And she’s finally learned how to say “Thanks, but no thanks” to anyone who doesn’t meet that standard.

i'd forgiven him but my heart was still wounded

It's the worst thing to fall in love with someone who will never stop disappointing you

The last thing I need right now is another reminder of how much of my life I wasted on him

It’s our time to rise, walk through that hell.

I wear my heart on my sleeve, but I’m not naive. I know what it feels like to be completely broken and I’m all too familiar with what it feels like to hurt. I know what it’s like to see something funny and not laugh. I’ve been taken advantage of and used. My feelings have been completely disregarded, but I still believe all people are good at heart, and my trust has not diminished. To be honest, I hope it never does.
