choosing to forgive myself, choosing to return to love and compassion, choosing to let go of unhealthy coping mechanisms and move to healthier ones, choosing to stay alive. over and over and over again. as many times as it takes.

may you attract a loyal partner who is as loving, deep, passionate, sexual, soulful and spiritual as you. someone who is intimate, open, and vulnerable with you in every sense. someone who is so perfectly aligned and compatible with you – it’s like you both manifested each other.

Maturity is understanding you won't always get the answers or apologies for the shit that hurt your heart...but you heal anyway.

Dating someone who is patient and makes you feel safe so you can communicate your feelings, needs and insecurities and work through them together with love and understanding >>>

If I ever stop talking to you & remove you from my life, just know how hard it was for me. I have a bad habit of holding onto the little bit of good in ppl & giving too many chances. So if I don’t fw you anymore, it’s bc you pushed me way past my limit—but when I'm done, I'm done

Distance is my new response to disrespect. I no longer react, I no longer argue, I no longer dive into drama. I simply remove presence.

[what-iz-life]

I have no energy to hate anybody. I literally have no space in my heart to carry that toxic bitterness around. I either love you, wish you well, or hope you heal.

You've gotta learn to stop forcing things: conversations, connections, attention, or affection. If it has to be forced, it isn't meant for you. Being ok with losing people who are ok with losing you, is such an underrated power move. It flows or it goes.

"I have one consistency, which is being against the totalitarian - on the left and on the right. The totalitarian, to me, is the enemy; the one that's absolute, the one that wants control over the inside of your head, not just your actions and your taxes.”
