Shel Silverstein can teach me a lot about love and relationships I guess.

[excerptfromabookyoullneverwrite]

“Be with someone who doesn’t know your favorite color but why it’s your favorite color. Someone who knows that you brush the bottom and top of your teeth for 20 seconds each. Someone who will buy you those boots you’ve been ranting about and you just thought they weren’t listening the whole time. Someone who will wake you at 3am to see your galaxy filled eyes and tell you that they love you and that they’re sorry for waking you up but they wanted to hear your voice, to see your eyes glisten from the moonlight peaking through the curtains, to see the skin at the ends of your eyes crinkle up as you laugh at a corny joke, to see you smile and hold you tight while you hold back just as tight maybe even tighter. Be with someone who will make you feel on top of the world even when you’re down low.” I said to him as we swung on the rusty swings at the park. Our park. “Well what if that someone doesn’t think you’re that someone for them.” He said looking down at the sand. “Well then you prove it to that someone that you can give them everything and that you can be that someone for them.” I said back hoping I could be his someone but knew he would never want me as his someone.

The Universe brings you people that are meant to help you on your journey. There is no need to cling on to any of them. The ones who’ll want to stay will.

[wnq-quoteoftheday]

Do not tell everyone your story. You will only end up feeling more rejected. People cannot give you what you long for in your heart. The more you expect from people’s response to your experience of abandonment, the more you will feel exposed to ridicule.

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.

C. S. Lewis (via goodreadss)

[wnq-quotes]

To say that one waits a lifetime for his soulmate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting, take a chance on someone, and by the art of commitment become soulmates, which takes a lifetime to perfect.

Criss Jami, Venus in Arms

To love is good, too: love being difficult. For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.

Rainer Maria Rilke | @fyp-philosophy (via wordsnquotes)

[shareaquote]

How to heal? 1. Healing is being patient with yourself. It is going easy on yourself and not constantly questioning why you feel the way you do. 2. Healing is not giving in to every desire and urge. The urge to call them up. The desire to see their pictures. The urge to eat the whole jar of nutella. 3. Healing is being with yourself. It is acknowledging your thoughts and feelings and dealing with them rather than indulging in destructive coping mechanisms. 4. But healing is also knowing that sometimes you have to acknowledge the presence of a particular thought or feeling and then simply move on realizing that it’s a trap, it doesn’t exist, it’s not an actual problem or cause of worry but just something your insecurities and anxiety have inflated. 5. Healing is accepting that them being happy or not honestly has nothing on your life or how happy you can be. That because they chose to leave and never looked back, there is no correlation between your lives. Them being happy without you may hurt at first but in the long run it really has no relation to your life and is definitely not a restriction to you leading a happy life too. They are doing their thing, you can do yours. 6. Healing is not being rigid. Yes, you thought you would visit that place or watch that movie with him but now he is gone. Or you wanted to look a certain way or be a certain someone by the time you were 25. Let go of that idea. Embrace who you are now. Enjoy the beauty of that movie and place anyway. How fun is a predictable story or the spoilers of a book anyway? Enjoy the plot twists of your life. They do come with redemption. 7. Healing is being able to enjoy the little things again. It’s not being bored with every book you read or any TV show you watch or not noticing the grin on that child’s face dirty with chocolate ice cream. Healing is being mindful again.

Stop breaking your own heart by trying to make a relationship work that clearly isn’t meant to work. You can’t force someone to care about you. You can’t force someone to be loyal. You can’t force someone to be the person you need them to be. Sometimes the person you want most is the person you’re best without. You got to understand some things are meant to happen, but just not meant to be. Some things are meant to come in your life, just not meant to stay. Don’t lose yourself by trying to fix what’s meant to stay broken. You can’t get the relationship you need from someone who’s not ready to give it you . And you might not understand WHY NOW, but I promise you your future will always bring understanding of why things didn’t work out. TRUST ME. Don’t put your happiness on hold for someone who isn’t holding on to you.

sometimes i forget how many times i’ve picked myself off the floor, how many times i’ve washed away smudgy makeup and put myself to bed. how many times i’ve said no to something unhealthy. said yes to something good. how many times i’ve treated myself with kindness and patience. i forget how many times i’ve tended to wounds and made peace with my own anger. if i was taking care of a body that was not my own, i’d believe i was doing everything i could. so here’s to remembering that i’m doing the best i can.
