1 Corinthians 13

  "Everything that I understand, I understand only because I love." -- Leo Tolstoy

Ghosting is the ultimate use of the silent treatment, a tactic that has often been viewed by mental health professionals as a form of emotional cruelty.

I don't give up on people I love easily,

I don't give up on people I love easily. So understand that when I do, it took every inch of me, every breath in me to make the decision of letting you go. This is one of the most painful decisions that I needed to make, but with this, I will either lose you or my sanity, and I decided to choose my sanity.

I hope that you know you deserve love, and someone else will know how to love you in ways that I can’t.

“Do you think I wanted to fall in love with you? Do you think I wanted this? If I could choose I would choose just to see you as a friend. But I could not, I could not — and I hate myself for that.”

“Restless Jo (short for Josephine and based on the novel's author Alcott) rebels against convention in what could be considered a menswear-inspired wardrobe. "She wanted to go and fight in the Civil War. She wanted to be a boy. She wanted the advantages that being a boy brought you in life," explains Durran, about the "strong theme" of vests, blazers, button-down shirts and neck-scarves — and no corsets — that span Jo's teen years to young adulthood.

But look closely because "she swaps clothes with Laurie," explains Durran, about metaphorically illustrating the connection between the two teen soulmates. "We made duplicate costumes for them to wear in parallel as if they were wearing each other's clothes." Certain pieces were replicated to fit each actor, like romantic white puff-sleeve Victorian shirts and a boy's work jacket in earlier sequences that was probably "left lying around" the March household. A yellow and red paisley vest (above) proves especially meaningful, as Laurie wears it in an early moment in the timeline and Jo dons it when she turns down his heartfelt proposal.”

The closest plan is the best plan. Take the first step, try, experience, adjust, and continue trying.

Suffering refines your character and prepares you for a glorious journey ahead; it prepares you to see and treasure the stream of blessings coming your way.

I forgive you because I love you

I still love you. Not like I used to, but I do.  

I love you and that's the reason why I could and need to forgive you. You were my family; it pains me more not being able to forgive you than to love you. And I love you because your betrayal made me grow and become more resilient. 

But no, the lock on the door to my heart has been changed and you can't come in anymore, because I have to protect myself from another possible attack. I am drawing the boundaries, and you’re not in it.

I don’t know how to express a feeling that is more than liberation . Let me tell you this I broke the invisible shackles that held me in his dungeon for five years I took the knife of shame that he conditioned me to feel and throw it into the ocean . He told me that I was responsible for his fall that I was responsible for crashing our friendship Now I know I play no part in his mind games The guilt he planted in me I ripped it away from the root of my heart . He told me I wasn’t a female that I was stupid and ignorant Now I know his self-worth was so little he needed to drain mines to fill his The discouragement he kissed into my soul I spit it out and sanitized my memories . Millions of women like me will hold millions of men like him accountable We will arm ourselves with honesty shield ourselves with courage and resist with dignity For we hit them where it hurts with what we called self love.
