  Your kind smile or a pat on the back, just might pull someone back from the edge.

  

  Stop falling in love with everything that lets you down.

  

  Affection isn’t measured when both takes care of each other. It is measured when one ignores, and the other still continues to care.

  

  God can’t hand you something new until you let go of what you’re holding.

  

  When the day comes that you don’t cross my mind, and I finally do forget you for good, please don’t remember me.

  

  Every now and then, those three little words slip out. No, not “I love you.” And no, not “I hate you.” But I miss you. And for an instant, I can’t stand myself. Because I know you never thought about me half as much as I thought about you. Because I can’t stop thinking about you. I can’t get you out of my head – from under my skin.

  

  Three months ago, if you asked me, I would have told you that if you really loved someone, you’d let them go. But now I look at you, and I dream about you, and I see that I’ve been wrong. If you really love someone, I think you have to take them back.

  

  Sometimes to get what you want the most, you have to do what you want the least.

  

  Walk a little closer to me, and feel my heart beat. I’ll show you who I really am, and you’ll be on the edge of your seat.

  

  If we forgive others, we free our minds to dwell on better and brighter things. And we free our hearts to feel the love we’re made to instead of the rage we create.

  

  I took a chance and followed my heart. It might not have been the smartest decision I’ve ever made but the end result was worth it all. Do you know why? I got you.

  

  The problem with acting out on your insecurities and pushing people away is that you aren’t allowing them to have their own insecurities. If you push people away, they are going to think you don’t want them there. We are all human and we all need a little trust, just because.

  

  It’s completely impossible to find a guy who won’t hurt you. So instead, go for the guy who will make the pain worthwhile.

  

  The worst feeling is when someone makes you feel special, then suddenly leaves you hanging, and you have to act like you don’t care at all. 

  

  Be thankful for every heartbreak, for they were planned. They come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. Their purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life. And you do.

  

  You men are shameful. If you’re not thinking with your dick then you’re acting directly on its behalf.

  

  I broke my own heart by loving you.

  

  You wanna know why I love you? It’s because you loved me when I didn’t love myself. It’s because you held up beauty for me to see. It’s because you cared, unconditionally, just the way I was. It was because, for the first time in my life i didn’t have to work so hard at being happy.

  

  “You can do better. You deserve so much more.” In reality, you’re right. But sometimes when you love, you love the person for who they are despite what they’ve done wrong to you. That’s what love does to you. It’s not about who you deserve, it’s about who you want, who you need, and who you love.

  

  Pretending to be friends with the one you love is like breathing underwater. You can’t hold it too long cause if you do, you won’t make it alive.

  

  It’s a cycle. You smile at me. You text me. You flirt with me. You make me fall for you in a matter of days. Then, you’re gone. You act like an ass to me. You won’t talk to me, answer my texts or even look me in the eye. So I give up. I move on. Or so I think, until that cycle happens all over again.

  

  Who am I kidding, you don’t need me around anymore. Well I hope you love the rest of your life. Just remember that I was once a part of it.

  

  I knew. Trust me, I knew. I knew you didn’t feel the same way about me as I did about you. But I still clung to that hope that maybe I would be good enough for someone. I prayed for the day that you would wake up & realize how perfect I was for you, but that day never came. So today I finally got up the courage to say “fuck you” for the last time.

  

  Because you know me right? You know me so well. You know everything about me, my influences, what hurts me, what helps me, what haunts me, you know it all right? You know what I’ve been through, going through and will go through don’t you? You know all my choices and the reasons as to why I made them, right? Listen, think what you want when you come and mouth off about how ridiculous, or stupid, or slutty or dumb or ugly or whatever else you want to call me, but remember that you don’t know half of the story, and I doubt when you’re pointing the finger, your own slate is clean, is it?

  

  Sometimes you just need to distance yourself from people. If they care, they’ll notice. If they don’t, you know where you stand.

  

  I hate what you’ve done to me. You’ve made me afraid to fall in love, afraid to care for anyone, afraid to trust anyone. Ever since you left, after all the broken promises, I can’t trust anyone, I can’t get too close to anyone. I’ve built a wall so high around myself, no one can get in. You’ve made me like this.
