 Follow me on Twitter for more quotes Don't you dare tell me things are different. Because the only thing that's changed is you.  If there's nothing ventured then I guess there's nothing gained. If it's not worth the pleasure then it won't be worth the pain.  I should be ashamed of this; I'm not.  I don't know what you want. But I can't keep trying to give it to you anymore.  Everything was perfect,until you decided it wasn’t.  I over analyze situations because I am scared of what will happen if I am not prepared for it.  With enough time, we all find what we’re looking for. Even if it was there all along.  Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.  I spent a lot of time searching for reasons, for answers. But you can't find what’s not there.  It's human instinct to fight back and get even.  You want the truth? Here it is. I still have feelings for you. And no matter how many times I tell myself that I'm better off without you, a part of me just wont let go.  I just don't bother faking a smile anymore. I'm done pretending that I'm happy. It's just becoming harder and harder everyday.  You can't base your life on other people's expectations.  The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next.  I'm not rejecting you, I'm protecting me.  I feel like my life is so scattered right now. Like it's all the small pieces of paper and someone's turned on the fan. But, talking to you makes me feel like the fans been turned off for a little bit. You completely unscatter me, and I appreciate that so much.  I don't know which face to talk to, since you have two of them.  Just shut up, okay? I'm allowed to dislike somebody who hurt me. I'm allowed to say what I want, laugh how I want, do what I want, be who I want - this is my life. And if you don't like it then there's something wrong with yours, not mine.  Sometimes you have to get burned to see the truth.  The most sweet hearted people are the most mistreated people.  It's funny how the people who know the least about you, have the most to say.  Some scars are beautiful. They remind us how we heal as we endure.  If you’re not happy single, you won’t be happy taken. Happiness comes from within, not from men.  I'll screw up. I'll push you away if we're getting too close. I won't trust you until you've proven yourself. I get hurt easily and take a lot of things personally. But I'll love you with everything I have, and if that isn't enough, then I'm not enough.  I was tired of being asked how I felt about things. These were the questions I didn't know the answer to. I didn't feel anything. I just felt that white expanse of nothingness slowly spreading to the edges of me.  |
