It’s okay to be infatuated with someone and to let it go. It’s ok to be wanting, and know that nothing will ever come of the want. All you need to know is that feelings are not forever. And then you need to be patient, and resist being frustrated, because knowing this won’t cure the longing. Feelings aren’t forever, and time will slip into this wound too and just like one heartbeat slides into the next this feeling will fade.

dear me,

don't let society make you feel bad about not being in a relationship. you're not ready for that right now.

[remindersformyself]

dear me, do not let them use you to satisfy their need for attention.

[remindersformyself]

dear me, do not put your everything into another human being.

[remindersformyself]

dear me, what he did to you, you've done to someone else.

[remindersformyself]

dear me, in times like these, never forget that the moments you felt the worst about yourself were when you were with him.

[remindersformyself]

dear me, if you want something, go get it.

“I know there are days when your heart feels so heavy and your past tries to convince you that it has the final say. You are not what broke you. You are not the silence that followed. You are not the hands that hurt you or the moments that failed you. You are the way you kept breathing when it would’ve been so much easier not to. You are the small joys that still reach you, the soft laughter that returns when you least expect it. You are laughter that returns after long silence, soft hope rising when you thought it never would. You are proof that survival is its own kind of grace. Healing doesn’t erase things that have happened, but it allows you to find the light again and again.

Be gentle with yourself. You are not too much. You are exactly enough. You are not too late. You are right on time. And the world is softer, kinder, brighter because you are here in it.”
