1. You have to do what makes you happy at the end of the day.

3. It’s important to think about the long term projection instead of only focusing on what you want in the moment.

5. Sometimes love isn’t enough to get back with someone. Neither is missing them.

6. It’s better to actually be alone than with someone who makes you feel alone.

7. If you’re with someone who constantly degrades you and leaves you doubting yourself then you’re better off on your own.

8. Don’t allow someone to start treating you poorly just because you’ve been together a “long time.” The little things and compliments should never stop.

9. Winning the battle or fight isn’t more important than being happy, neither is getting the last word in.

11. No one else can heal you except yourself and no one can fix your insecurities except for you.

12. Don’t be afraid to let yourself fall because it’s better to have loved someone than to not love at all.

17. Love is about sacrifice and sometimes that means doing things you don’t want because it’ll make the other person happy.

18. Don’t settle in a relationship you’re unhappy in no matter how long you’ve been together. You can always leave because everyone deserves happiness.

19. You can’t force feelings, you can’t force someone to care and you can’t force someone to love you.

20. It’s never going to be perfect but the bad times shouldn’t outweigh the good.
