“People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other’s personalities. Who wouldn’t? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that’s not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws? Can you look at your partner’s faults honestly and say, ‘I can work around that. I can make something out of it.’? Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and it’s always going to pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you.”

— Elizabeth Gilbert

You’ve written so many letters for him. Quotes, paragraphs. But this one is for you. Hear me out, I know it’s really hard, I do. I know it’s breaking all of you. But you have to, please, for your sake, LET HIM GO. He doesn’t want to love you. I know it destroys you but he doesn’t. It’s difficult to do something for your sake when you hate all of you. I get why you don’t let him go. After all nothing feels more like home than self destruction. And loving him is equivalent of inflicting all this pain you think you deserve. You wanna destroy yourself ? Do it. Do it all you want but not with him in the picture. Do it on your own fucking terms. Yes, he chose her. I know that broke you irreparably. You don’t know how to heal. You don’t know what to do with all that pain. Maybe you’ll learn to live with it you know? Like you did with other things that broke you. Maybe it will always hurt. I don’t know. You think you can live like this but you can’t. Can’t you see, it’s eating you up from the inside, cell by cell. There’s barely any of you left. Can’t stop loving him? Don’t. Learn to love him from a distance. But you have to try. You gotta try for me now? Please, I’m begging you, you have to. Okay?

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

i'm tired of giving others the privilege of being the light in my life. i am the moon and this is my sky and i will shine. i will shine all bright and beautiful, all by myself.

isn’t it amazing how life just passes by? milestones come out of nowhere and leave in a flash. there’s not a single moment one can be in for more than just that: a moment. they come and go in waves, a crazy phenomenon that has never happened before and will never happen again. children are born and grow old in a small collection of those moments. there’s nothing one can hold and grasp for a lifetime. there’s nothing one can have for eternity. there is no baby that comes into the world and stays a baby for more than what feels like a single day. we laugh and cry, but only for a moment.

so if today, you’re feeling down, remember. it is simply a moment, one of many more moments that will be filled with happiness and laughter. that might also only last for a single moment, but that is the way of life. we all chase after those happy moments, and while they may not always be with us, while they may pass us by in a flash, slipping through our fingers, these are the moments that make all the others worth it. these are the moments that make life worth living.

so if you’re thinking today that it isn’t worth it anymore, that you can’t chase those moments anymore, remember: this small singular moment will pass on. you will find another amazing moment, one that is only for you, that has never happened before and shall never happen again. keep going for those happy, laughter filled moments.

keep your head up, kid. you’ve got this.

“This wasn’t supposed to happen, I wasn’t supposed to love you like this. When I first met you I wouldn’t have ever imagined that you would be the one I would ache for, the one whose name leaves me with this nostalgic pain. You mean more to me than I ever expected.”

— M.O.W, You mean more to me than I ever expected

“do you drink because you’re just having fun or do you drink because after awhile when you look down at the bottle you realize you can’t remember my touch my lips my voice my heart six shots later your heart becomes just as dark as your whiskey and I am just a sunken ship in the ocean of your memories”

“Stop shrinking yourself to fit places you’ve outgrown”

“trapped in this corner of the world. the corner follows you, always at a face off between you and the fear that you aren’t living quite right. art might just be a person allowing you into their life, seeing their corner of the world. talking forever about masks and families and what they had for dinner last night and how unfortunate it is that their body can’t digest dairy. sharing form of intimate emotion with her, even if only for a short time. what a tragedy it is for art to have it all end in regret, resentment, hate. leaving a cold taste of rust in the back of your throat. the corner follows you, beckons you, reminds you of what you’ve lost. will i ever hear from you again? what did you have for dinner last night, do i even care now?”

— the more time i spend with you, the less time we have left.
