“I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.”

“It’s gonna hurt. Fuck, it’s gonna hurt like hell. When you give everything you have to someone, and it’s still not enough, it’s going to rip you apart inside. Then it’ll slowly start to get better. You’ll think about things other than them. You’ll find ways to occupy your mind. Some days you’ll still wake up wanting to call them just to say good morning. You’ll still spend some days crying and listening to sad songs that remind you of them. You’ll fall asleep crying because it doesn’t feel right without them there. That’s okay. It’s okay that it hurts. But it’s okay for it to get better, too. It’s okay to let yourself heal. It’s okay to go get drunk in hopes that you’ll get them off your mind, but it’s okay to dance around your room in your underwear because you feel actually happy, too. Life isn’t going to stop. I know right now it feels like the world has stopped turning, but it hasn’t. You’ll make new friends and meet new people. Eventually, you’ll stop thinking about them altogether. And you might remember them forever. They might have a small part of you forever. But you’ll change. You’ll grow. And one day you might even wonder why you loved them, because you recognize that you didn’t deserve to be hurt like that. It’s okay to be okay.”

“The weight is gone. he’s not in your life anymore. flirt with the boy in your chemistry class and talk about him with your best friend at lunch. realize how good it feels to have moved on. delete all of your old messages. delete his number from your phone and don’t write it down anywhere. stop looking for his car whenever you’re out driving. he’s never going to pull into your driveway with an apology at the ready. he’s never gonna fuckin miss you. and that’s fine. that’s fine. you can still wear your shirt that has that band he likes because he doesn’t own anything in your life. you can still see that basketball logo without feeling like throwing up. he doesn’t own that either. it’s okay to miss it sometimes. but never try to go back. don’t romanticize this past year because he never loved you. and you never loved him. you were just kids, that’s all. you didn’t know any better. you couldn’t have.”

So far I’ve spent 11 years fighting a disease with a mind of its own 11 years of scars that each tell a story and 11 years of fighting. 11 years later and I no longer hide that side of me. I’m not scared of the ignorance of others because I am proud of my journey and as much as I hate having this disease it has made me stronger than I ever imagined I could be So here’s to me, the fighter

The thing is, there’s times when you think you won’t survive -but you do. And there’s times when you think you aren’t strong enough to carry on -but you do. And there are times when each inch of your body is trembling, and aching, at the thought of him with her- but you survive that too. And I guess what i’m trying to say is that you think you won’t survive things, and then you do- just like you’re going to survive this. You are a survivor, my dear.

“I put myself through hell, I went there and I saw what it looked like and he was everywhere I got drunk, I blacked out, I smoked my lungs burnt and I cried my eyes dry I slept in everything he left behind, I cried myself to sleep and woke up in a numb haze I let my friends love me, I drank green tea with my mom on Sunday afternoons and gin and tonic with my dad on Friday nights I stopped checking up on him, one day I noticed I had gone all day without searching his name. I noticed that I didn’t care the way I thought I always would. I met someone else, someone better. And that’s the thing; you think you will never be so happy. I promise you you are wrong. There is always someone out there who will treat you the way you deserve, a hand to hold yours tighter, and smile to make you melt and eyes you can always be sure are only ever looking at you”

“So I guess this is how this ends; No more sad songs, No more crying, No more ‘accidental’ “sorry, wrong person” texts, I will begin to learn how to be okay without you, I will teach myself how to listen to our song without crying, No matter what it takes, I will get over you. So I guess this is how it ends for good this time, No encore, No second chances, Not again.”

I crave space. It charges my batteries. It helps me breathe. Being around people can be so exhausting, because most of them love to take and barely know how to give. Except for a rare few.
