One day you will meet someone who will knock out the breath from you. They will show up unexpected, and when you aren’t even looking. They will come into your life, like a fresh breath of air. And they aren’t going to leave.

Trust me when I say, he’s the idiot. He’s the idiot for messing this up. For leaving you. He’s the one who should live with this regret. Not you.

To all my fellow women who think they can’t live without your ex, you can. And you will. You will survive. Just like everyone else did. And you will heal. Just like we all did. And you will be happy again. I promise.

The truth is, you are much stronger than you think you are. You more resilient than you think. You have a lot of strength in you that you never have noticed before. And you have a lot of love inside of you that you have yet to use.

Fall in love with the type of person who wants to build a home with you. Who wants to build a family with you. And who wants to say “I do” to you. Fall in love with someone who actually f***ing tries.

Instead of holding onto thoughts of them coming back to you, hold onto the memories. Hold onto the good parts. Don’t hold onto the heartache.

When you love someone, you can forget the tiny details about them that made you smile. But when you’re in love? You’ll never forget those tiny things about them that makes them beautiful.

Don’t date the person who highlights your flaws, who tells you to change, and who criticizes you. Date someone who loves you despite all of your flaws and who loves you when you fail. Date someone who never questions you.
