The next chapter of your life is about your heart. It’s time to heal it, it’s time to take it back from those who broke it and it’s time to collect all the scattered bits and pieces that were lost somehow with the wrong ones and make yours whole again because your heart is still strong and beating and it needs to remember how to be loved.

To the one who thought I like you means asking for a marriage proposal, who taught you that? To the one who thought leaving with no closure will hurt less, what were you thinking?

The truth is you’re not afraid of love, you’re afraid of heartbreak. You’re not afraid of texting someone first or calling them, you’re afraid they won’t respond. You’re not afraid of saying I miss you, you just don’t think the other person cares to know.

Thank you for making the road easier, the music louder, the darkness lighter and the bumps smoother

It’s time to decide if you want to be loved or you want to stay broken.

We talk to them for weeks or months without really knowing what we are, because we don’t want to push them away or pressure them, so we pretend to be cool with not knowing because we’re not in a hurry to be exclusive either and we pretend to like the grey are because it gives us options, but we don’t really want to talk to anyone else.

I forgive you for all the lonely nights. In a way, they made me fearless, in a way, they taught me how to enjoy my own company and in a way, they made me unafraid of loneliness.

Why did you let me go?
