so this happen today..

I’ve done a lot of soul searching within the past 10 months. I wouldn’t go as far as saying i’m a whole new person.. but it’s pretty damn close. I used to be selfish.. distant.. and just plain mean. I was depressed and anxious.. I have learned who is good for me, what kind of positive influences I need and how to keep myself happy, without harming others happiness as well. I’ve found compassion for others. I love being someone else’s shoulder to lean on when they can’t quite hold themselves together.. Today I had one of the easiest yet most meaningful conversation I’ve ever had to date.. I had someone ask me when and why I decided to better myself.. and my answer was simple. I was tired of being miserable. I was constantly exhausted, from being so sad. I woke up one day and decided I was going to be happy.. I was tired of trying to find happiness… I MADE my own happiness. I chose happiness… and I don’t think I could ever go back.

Today I regained one of the most precious friendships I have had to date.. and I am more than thankful to have received that second chance. Here is to the new version of myself.. and here is to many more years of happiness to come.

She literally told me, you’re too much of a genius, you’re gonna be too famous. She literally left me… Tell me that shit ain’t a gift and a curse.

I wonder whose arms would I run and fall into if I were drunk in a room with everyone I have ever loved.

this becomes almost deeper when you think of non-romantic loves too (via asimetricna-vagina)

So you go about your life,“ she said, “and I’ll go about mine,“ “And, the next time we see each other, everything will have changed but everything will be okay.

Marry a man who only has eyes for you.  Marry a man who can control his gaze from the temptations of the world because he respects you.  Marry someone who will go the extra mile to make you feel loved because if it isn’t raw, passionate, deep love… it isn’t worth it. Marry a man who hears the change in your voice and recognizes that you’re hurting inside.  Life is too short to have a love that is ordinary.  Marry someone who doesn’t need his body to touch you because sometimes words are more than enough to make us feel things we have never felt. Marry someone who recognizes how special your heart is and treats it with the utmost care and love.  Don’t marry someone who is reckless with your emotions.  

Don’t settle.  Don’t accept less than you deserve because you deserve a love that takes you to places you never even imagined.  This love doesn’t always come easy, it takes work… but falling in love with this person will be effortless.

We all have someone who we just can’t fucking let go of.

Oh how I wanted to say that I missed him. How I wanted to call him and start a stupid conversation the way we used to do. How I wanted to ask him something ridiculous like did he like cats, like what did he think of the colour blue, like did he still love me, like did he ever? Did he ever love me at all? And how I wanted to sit on his bed and rest my head on his chest and listen to the sound of his heartbeat. Or sit on the floor of his room and let him kiss me and let him kiss me and let him kiss me again. Or, oh, how I wanted to go back to the beginning, to the first day when he approached me. How I wanted to leave so he’d never told me his name and I’d never told him mine.

Even though losing you hurt, letting go was a relief.

reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)

I don’t think feelings change, not people. I think situations change. I know that it’s possible to dislike someone after loving them so much or to love someone after feeling so much hate towards them but, it’s not because people change, it’s because it’s not the same anymore. It’s because something made you think differently, something opened your eyes, something caused you to see everyday the way it is at last. It’s like days. Days can be cloudy, or days can be sunny but days don’t change, the weather does. And nothing can play a part in that or fix that, they can just let it be.

I was a college drop-out with a 0.9 GPA who lost a scholarship and took seven years to graduate after going to two community colleges. It doesn’t matter how long it takes, everyone blooms differently. Setbacks are not failures and you are more than yesterday. Own your mistakes, quit the inner-loop of shaming in your head, smile big, move on.

hearing the person you love tell you that they no longer see a potential future with you... Really knocks the wind out of you. He said "if I hadn't met you when I did.. If I had met you NOW.. I could promise you that you'd be the one for me forever. I'd marry you and never let you go." Well, i clearly wasn't enough for you. But one day I'll be better than enough, and missing out of me and those years of my life is really going to sting. Take care my love, be kind to yourself and keep smiling. Better things are on their way, you'll find someone that's worth it one day.

Sometimes I really wanna fast forward my life to the part where I’m happily married with a kid on its way.

There’s a special place in my heart for the ones who were with me at my lowest and still loved me when I wasn’t very lovable.
