“Someone out there is ready for exactly what you have got to offer. They will know how to appreciate you and reciprocate all that you give, but most importantly they will never try to undercut your value or question your worth. But in order to attract that person, you have to become that person. Focus on getting ready for your blessings and you will never have to worry about your burdens.”

Note to self (5) // notebook scribbles remnant-thoughts
It’s possibly the worst feeling in the world when you can tell you like someone more than they like you. When they take hours to respond but you still text them back right away, when they’re always busy or too tired to see you- it hurts, I know. But people are allowed to lose interest in you, maybe it’s not even under their control, and I’m sure there was also a time when you’ve not been into someone who really liked you. It’s really, really hard to accept but you just have to understand that you’re not going to be right for some people just like some people aren’t going to be right for you. But if you believe in soulmates, then you know that when you find yours, you’ll be right for each other.
No matter how much you want it right now, how much you care, how many things you would give up today, how late you’d stay up just for the smallest chance that it’ll ring, and no matter how much you promise it won’t ever happen- There always comes a day when you stop picking up the phone.
It’s not about the cute texts or “our song” or calling in sick to spend the day together or wedding dates or surprise parties or moving in together. Those are all important, but it’s you pretending not to like my favorite part of the trail mix for two years. It’s when I ask you a stupid question on purpose just so you’ll give me that one look. And it’s when you grab my hand in your sleep. That’s love.
Have you ever been completely obsessed with someone the second you meet them? Like “I know I’m going to marry this person, they’re exactly what I want, they have everything I never even knew I wanted and more, I’ve never been more sure of a single thing in my life, and not only would I be so happy seeing this persons face every day for the rest of my life but I wouldn’t be able to live if I couldn’t.”
What do you know about THAT kind of love? That instant, certain love. Maybe it only exists for some people- the romantic, hopeful, optimists- or maybe it exists for everyone if we wait long enough and look hard enough. I’ll let you know when I find out.
The worst part about a relationship ending is slowly realizing all the things that don’t matter anymore. For example, all the dates- his birthday, the day you met, your anniversary- that are just ordinary days again. The comfort is gone, the routines and traditions are over, and it makes you sick, but to make it worse- he’s the person you’d normally go to when you feel this uneasy, and you don’t have anyone else that could make it better like he would. And weeks go by and you’re still thinking about the fact that you know all his favorite foods and you don’t know how to fill that space in your brain with something else. You keep mourning the end of you and him, but then you realize that’s not the only thing that died, because there’s also your five year plan and the inside jokes that don’t exist anymore and the kids with your eyes and his hair that won’t ever be born, and then it hurts all over again.
But if you’ve felt this before- or if you feel this right now- that means you’ve been through the exact same thing as I have and so have all the other people reblogging this. And I got through it, over it, past it, happier. Many times. And so will you. Because the things you lose when you lose a person are all replaceable with someone new- new anniversaries, secret places, nicknames, cute jokes, a new list of favorites to remember. And you have no reason to think that the next person who makes you feel like home is going to be less special to you than the one that just left.
“Sensitive people are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There is nothing they won’t tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. However, the moment you betray them, reject them or devalue them, they become the worse type of person. Unfortunately, they end up hurting themselves in the long run. They don’t want to hurt other people. It is against their very nature. They want to make amends and undo the wrong they did. Their life is a wave of highs and lows. They live with guilt and constant pain over unresolved situations and misunderstandings. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred or being hated. This type of person needs the most love anyone can give them because their soul has been constantly bruised by others. However, despite the tragedy of what they have to go through in life, they remain the most compassionate people worth knowing, and the ones that often become activists for the broken hearted, forgotten and the misunderstood. They are angels with broken wings that only fly when loved.”

““How great would it be,” I said, “to be able to turn back time.” “What would you do if you could do that?” “I would rewind all the way back to the first time we met,” I looked up at the sky, “And instead of staying, I would choose to walk away because I think it would hurt less to remember her as a stranger than to know her as a familiar face with fading memories.”
— Lukas W. // Forgotten Words #234 // A face with fading memories (via somepiecesofmyheartandsoul)
Don’t you think it’s crazy how one decision can determine the course of your life. If I went to the dining hall a half hour later on the day I met my first boyfriend, my life could have been completely different. I could have eventually met him somewhere else and still fallen in love with him, but I also could not have. I could’ve dated someone completely different who I might be engaged to right now. Or I could not have.
The classes you choose, the seats you choose in those classes, the way you choose to walk home on a particular night. They can all cause or prevent a major event in your life. It’s crazy because they’re decisions we consciously make, but we’re not actually choosing the outcome. And when it works out in our favor, it’s “fate” but when it doesn’t, we’re “unlucky.”
I think about us, it’s true,
When I’m feeling sad.
But just know that I don’t miss you,
I just miss what we had.
I think we rub off on each other and we pick up habits and sayings from people we’re close to. And for that reason, it’s as if we actually share a part of ourselves with each other person in our lives. Which is why when they leave, it feels like they’re taking a part of us with them.
There’s a course in life you can take starting today that leads to an engagement ring on your finger in a year. There’s also a path that leads to you being dead in a year. Because there are infinite realities with infinite decisions and outcomes. Which is why the “could haves” and the “maybes” and the “almosts” don’t matter. Because anything could’ve happened and anything is possible, always. There is a combination of actions and decisions that leads to any possible situation you can contrive in your head. Some outcomes may have more paths leading to it and some may require flukes or luck but that doesn’t change the fact that anything can still happen, depending on the decisions you make every day, starting today.
Let me just tell you- if you have to wonder whether or not he’s going to text you back, he’s not the one for you. If he doesn’t want to have a conversation with you when he knows you can’t meet up with him, he’s also not the one. If he can’t hang out with you because he has friends in town, he’s not the one. Because the one will want to introduce you to his friends. The one will text you during the first 2 minutes of down time he has during a crazy day at work. The one will text you goodnight even if he knows you’re already asleep. And the one- the real one for you- won’t ever leave you wondering if he actually cares.
I’m so lucky to have met you, I hope you know that. No matter how things turn out in 2, 5, 10 years, just know that right now I’m so happy to know you and even if things turn bad, it doesn’t change the fact that I’ll always be happy to have known you.
