You could be happy

“If you walk away, whether by choice or with hands tied behind your back, you can still feel. You can still ache. You can still break. You are allowed to still hurt. You are allowed to still miss the things and people you leave behind. You can can miss their laugh at midnight, the way they pour their milk and cereal, and how they touch every part of your skin. You can miss their eyes staring through you, the way their heart beats along to yours, and how they choose their fruits at the grocery store. You can miss their lips full of stories, the way they dance to their favorite songs, and how they hold you when you are breaking down. Yes, you can still miss the people and the things that used to keep you warm at night, even if they aren’t good for you. You are allowed to feel the pain when they are no longer here, when things change. You are allowed to still miss the things you walk away from.”

hard pill to swallow: there are some things that are not meant for you. you will meet people that are not willing to stay. there will be times that you will fail. but don’t be discouraged because alongside, you are meant to be something, you will meet people that will stay, and most importantly, you will get better.

“I missed out on many people because I kept revisiting our memories. I spent so much time trying to make up for lost times, to feel the kisses and letting the sun in when you left. And every time someone new knocked, I’d close the windows and pretend no one was home - I was still waiting for you. I had hoped that someday you’d be the one asking for me, too.”

“I thought you had taken everything with you when you left, I thought you stole all the pieces of me I’d never get back I’ve realized now that the parts of me you took were the pieces I didn’t need, the parts I outgrew and who I am now, without you and the remnants of what once was is a stronger soul, with a wiser heart who no longer needs you.”

How can you have the audacity after all these months on to use the same fingers with blood remaining on them to ask me how I’ve been doing, as if you can wipe it away and all can be washed down the drain, forgetting how the blood even got there.

I heard what you said. I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.

it’s peaceful to not know

Get your life together on the low. No one has to know what you’re doing and how.

At the end of a relationship, it is the one who is not in love that makes the tender speeches.

Someday you will look back at all the progress you’ve made and be so glad you didn’t give up when you felt like that was your only option.
