Selfish Generosity

What to do when your mind is a mess, your heart is numb, but they're both telling you otherwise?

I'm trying to be me, whoever that is.

When I’m okay I follow my heart. When my heart hurts, I use my head. When my head is a mess, I use my heart. But when my heart is numb and my mind is lost, what am I supposed to do?

A love like that was like a serious illness, an illness which you never entirely recover from.

I closed my eyes and lay my head against the headrest, and we say there together for a while longer, two people lost in remembered music, half hidden in the shadows of a vastly on a moonlit hill.

I know you'll find someone else. You'll find someone to replace me but one day I hope you remember me. You remember breakfast with me and laying on the couch. You'll remember the girl who first taught you to love, your first kiss, your first heart ache. I know you'll find someone else, but I hope that maybe, just maybe you'll think of me when they hurt you and how I would never, ever would have done that.

I know you forget easy

i wish you were here but not the current you, but the one that loved me

I may not be the one you marry or the one you dance with at prom. I may not be your happily ever after or the girl you fall in love with. But one day I hope that you run into something that reminds you of me. You don't need to think of me often, but I hope you never forget.

Set your heart for times of tranquility.

And I'm done hoping that we can work it out, I'm done with how it feels, spinning my wheels Letting you drag my heart around. I'm done thinking, that you could ever change. I know my heart will never be the same, but I'm telling myself I'll be okay. Even on my weakest days, I get a little bit stronger

We remain unwritten through history      no x will mark us on the map but in books         of prose and poetry you loved me once in a         paragraph.

You don't always need a million reasons to leave.

Don't spend time searching for the reasons behind your actions. You'll waste too much time. If it didn't feel right, it wasn't. We all make mistakes, that's okay and normal by you need to accept the fact that you can't fix it. Despite your mistakes and failed efforts, it doesn't mean it was all you.

You don't always have to be something. Allow yourself to shut down and recharge.

One day your life will be figured out. The pain and worries of now will have faded to dust. Your insecurities will have turned into things you love. You will have inner peace and be at ease with yourself. You will have a family and a life you're happy with. Everything will be okay in the end. Promise.

I always thought the idea of two people separating was heartbreaking. The once shared moments turn into separate, haunting memories. One moment you're close and the next you're strangers; just like that.

I feel like this is a nightmare and I keep hoping that maybe, just maybe, I will wake up from this horror
