There’s a time to give up on relationships or “situationships,” if you will. No matter how bad you might want to, if they’re not answering you or they seem uninterested, you don’t have to push them. The harsh truth is if you think they don’t like you, you’re probably right. And people are allowed to not feel the same way about you, it just means they aren’t the right person for you and it was never going to work out. What hurts is that they realized it first. But those are the people you have to let go of because you don’t want to be with someone you have to force to like you when there’s someone out there who will think loving you is the easiest thing in the world.

My PIN number to this day is my second grade best friends birthday. There are people I don’t talk to anymore whose families are still in my prayers. There are shirts I wear to bed from exes of 8 years ago who are married now with kids. And I haven’t found a macaroni salad recipe better than my college boyfriend’s mom’s. Our lives are made up of so many people and when people become parts of our lives, some parts remain long after they leave. And in the same exact way, it’s comforting to know there are so many lives you’re still a part of that you have no idea about.

Am i in love or do i just feel seen by them

this is important to ask

There’s always going to be someone else. Someone that’s better for you. I told that to my ex when he was crying for me to take him back, I tell that to my friends when they’re going through breakups, and I tell that to myself whenever I need to hear it-which is often and always the hardest. But we always, always move on and love again and those low points we thought we’d never get past, well they always become distant memories. Because the amazing thing about us as humans is we’re capable of loving more than one person in our lifetime and our feelings are capable of change. So even if you really did love someone with all your heart, it doesn’t mean you can’t use all your heart again to love someone else.

“I really want to believe that one day I’ll meet someone and have no doubts that I’m supposed to be with him for the rest of my life and that he’d never hurt me and that I can completely be myself around him. But until then I’ll keep texting boys I’m already over and getting drunk with boys I’m not sure about and learning lessons that I really need to learn.”

One of the hardest realizations to face is that someone you’ve invested a lot of time into isn’t the right one for you or isn’t who you thought. Because think about it like this: you’re painting a picture and you go out and you buy the expensive canvas and tons of paint, all different colors, and you spend years on this one painting, making sure everything’s perfect, fixing mistakes, adding and subtracting details, redoing and re-examining, and this painting is all you have to show for the past, say 6, years of your life because it’s what you’ve invested all your free time into and money and effort and tears and frustrations. And then to be faced with the decision to destroy it- no matter how mad it’s making you, even if it came out completely wrong- I just don’t think you could. And that’s why people stay in relationships with people that might not be the best for them. Because after spending 6 years on one painting, the thought of having to start from scratch on a blank canvas is more daunting and overwhelming and terrifying than having to look at a mediocre painting every day for the rest of your life.

“It’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there, because it’s not sadness. I know sadness. Sadness is to cry and to feel. But it’s that cold absence of feeling— that really hollowed-out feeling.”

“If you have to speculate if someone loves you and wants to be with you, chances are they don’t. It’s not that complicated. Don’t waste moments waiting and wondering. Don’t throw away your time dreaming of someone who doesn’t want you. No one is that amazing, and certainly not someone who would pass you up.”

— Donna Lynn

“But some people are different. Some people show you things you’ve never seen before, things you’ve never felt before. And everything suddenly makes sense. Everything falls into place. Pieces that once didn’t fit suddenly have the right shape. You understand that before things just weren’t quite right, that everyone who came and went never treated you like you deserved, never really showed you how much they cared, how much you meant to them, and you thought it was normal. You thought you just had to accept that you were always the one to give, but to never receive anything in turn. But that’s not true. That’s not true at all. You have to open your eyes. You have to listen to your heart for once, trust your gut feeling and not that stubborn head of yours, and you will find these people. The only difficult thing is to recognise them for what they are and to not send them away because of the doubts you carry in the very depths of your soul, because of the goodbyes you already carry on your tongue. Because you were never one to wear your heart on your sleeve and you don’t think you deserve that kind of love. But you do. You do, whether it comes in the shape of a friendship for life or in meeting your significant other. Just please don’t give up. Please don’t think that you’ve seen it all when there are people out there dying to be a part of your life. To walk right into it, to make a mess of things and rearrange them in a pattern you never thought possible. Please don’t think you will never find this kind of love. For all you know, it could be waiting right around the corner.”
