I like writing...sometimes.

We must learn to find happiness within ourselves before we go looking for any outside

Finding happiness outside before you find it within yourself can be (to sound cliche) a recipe for disaster. You rely on it and it becomes your anchor. It can give you a sense of false happiness, a satisfaction tied to someone or something else.

When you lose that “outside happiness” you are left with nothing to run back to. You are empty, you are sad...you are devastated.

Find yourself first before you find someone else.

It is okay to give yourself a moment of weakness

To cry over what was lost and what could have been

But pick yourself and carry on with the hope and understanding that the best will come out of this

No matter how bleak it may look now

It will get better.

Protect your heart

Protect your mind

Guard your peace.

Shift your focus

It is still a mystery to me how we continue to look back on our past and get distracted from the now.

When walking, we look in the direction we are going so we do not stumble, so we get to our destination.

It is one thing to look back, learn lessons and move on.

It is another to look back and stack regret upon regret; digging ourselves deeper into misery.

We need to heal and shift into the present.

Redirect our focus to our destination.

I think of you and I shed a tear or two...maybe more

I cry for what was and what will never be

I cry for the good times

I cry for memories

When I felt loved

When I felt understood

When I felt supported

All gone with no notice

I thought you were it

I thought we were perfect

I thought we were good

Was I naive?

I was human.

Forgive yourself for your mistakes

First step in the journey towards healing.

[dazedandjaded]

You spoke the words I yearned to hear

I fell for them

My first mistake.

[dazedandjaded]

I am confident

I am successful

I am worthy of all the blessings that come my way

One of the hardest things you will ever have to do is to grieve the loss of someone who is still alive.

The bitter reality.

Life hurts.

You learn to pick the pieces and start a new chapter.

In a flash, you're gone

Now here alone I remain

Time gives but then takes
