Even when I detach, I care. You can be separate from a thing and still care about it.

““How can I support you?” is a question that works in almost every situation imaginable. It preempts judgement and assumptions while oozing humility. Often the person won’t have an immediate answer—likely because they aren’t used to being asked a question that’s about what they actually need as a unique human being. If they look stunned, I suggest something like: “It’s OK if you don’t have an answer or don’t need anything right now; the offer’s open for whenever. Just let me know.” And then use an emoji of some sort or make a face that conveys warmth so they know you mean it. (This could be a unicorn, the two señoritas dancing, or the smiling poo. Up to you.) *Here’s the fine print: you have to believe their answer, whatever it is. If they tell you they don’t need anything, you don’t get to push or pressure or demand they give you something to do so you feel less helpless. Remember, this isn’t about you.”

“Sensitive people should be treasured. They love deeply and think deeply about life. They are loyal, honest and true. The simple things often mean the most to them. They don’t need to change or harden. Their purity makes them who they are.”

True friendship is a plant of small growth

“You can’t control how they treat you, but you can control if you accept it.”

— Charles Orlando (via thoughtkick)

One day you'll look back, and realize how you treated me. And maybe, if you finally grew up, just maybe, you'll have enough heart to actually feel bad about it.

So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?

Its not up to me anymore. If you want me in your life, you'll find a way to put me there.

There are two types of pains, one that hurts you and the other that changes you.

If you only knew how much those little moments with you mattered to me.

When you begin to miss me,don't forget it was you who let me go.

Letting go doesn’t mean that you don’t care about someone anymore. It’s just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself.

“I hope that one day you’re as happy you pretend to be”

The past cannot be changed, forgotten, edited or erased; it can only be accepted.

My heart and my mind are fighting as to whether I should still like you. And I’m in the middle.

Sometimes you have to accept your mistakes and live with the results.
