You Don’t Have To Be So Strong All The Time
You don’t have to wear a smile on your face everyday. You don’t have to cover up the scars that haunt you everyday. You don’t have to battle this fight by yourself. And you shouldn’t.
Sometimes The People We Fall Hardest For Are The People Who Let Us Down The Hardest
Sometimes, no matter how big the love is, and how confident the bond is between you two, they will end up hurting you. No matter what you do. And it’s not anyone’s fault. It’s not your fault for loving so hard. It’s not their fault for having a change of heart. It’s just life.
Fall In Love With The Guy Who Makes You Feel Safe
Maybe it’s too much for me to ask. Maybe my expectations are too high. And maybe I should settle, to find a guy sooner, and settle down faster. But I’m not going to do that. I will wait however long it takes. I know I deserve better. And you do too.
I’m Not Easy To Love, But I’ll Always Love Hard
You deserve the biggest love in the world. And despite my flaws, I can give that to you. I can give you what you need and what you want. I won’t always do the right things, or say the right words, but I will always know that I love you.
The Hardest Thing About Love Is Falling Out Of It
I know you wish you could have a broken neck instead of a broken heart. But, if everyone in the world died from broken hearts, no one would be left to tell their story. No one would be left in the world at all.
Thank You For Giving Me The Best Days Of My Life So Far
Thank you for good morning gifts, handwritten letters and memories I will forever keep in my pocket. So, for that one moment when I play them back, I can feel safe again. And I can feel ok once more.
This Is What You Lost When You Said Goodbye
When you said goodbye, you most importantly lost a best friend. You lost the one who would stay with you through the blood, sweat and tears that poured out of you. The one who would never leave you.
This Is How Our Generation Falls Out Of Love
We need to feel things. We need to start letting things out. And we need to stop being so frightened of the little things. Because unlike our iPhones, and our computers, we can’t hit the reset button.
