Don’t overcommit yourself to a five things when you’ve only got time for two. As much as you might want to do everything, you can’t and it will ruin you if you try. You need to put your needs first and take care of yourself. After all, you can’t pour out of an empty cup so don’t spread yourself to thin.

You push people away. Every time you let someone into your life you start to push them away because you have convinced yourself they’ll leave. You tell yourself everyone else has up until this point so what’s to say this will be any different?

When you surround yourself with endless optimism, you become more positive yourself.

You don’t just get to come back into my life and think I’ll welcome you back with open arms because you know I still miss you. I might miss you, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to just give in. It doesn’t mean I’m going to be okay with you coming back into my life after all this time because I’m not.

Sometimes the greatest sacrifice you can make in love is letting each other go because you want more for yourselves and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not selfish – hanging on would be selfish. But allowing each other to chase your dreams – that’s selfless.

But the truth is, it takes strength to admit you’re not okay. It takes a lot of courage to talk about what’s going on inside your head. The problem is admitting you’re not okay can make some people uncomfortable and people disconnect themselves from things that make them uncomfortable, unless they truly care.

I learned that I can love you with my whole heart in a way that I’ve never loved anyone or anything else but that doesn’t mean we are good for each other; it doesn’t mean we’ll end up together.

Don’t be the person who says these phrases anymore, “I would, but…” or “I know I could, but…” But nothing! You are wasting your life. This is all the time you get.

Here’s to the girls who would rather stay wild and wander than settle down. The one’s who have said, “I like you, but I love to travel so as much as I’d like to stay I have to go.” The girls who don’t want a “normal” life and actually refuse to live it.

Sagittarius: You’re unhappy because you’re living a lie. You are trying to be someone you’re not in order to make your family or your friends or someone else (who isn’t you) happy. You convinced yourself to believe this is the life you’re supposed to live, but you know it’s not.

You deserve to be a complete thought, the final destination, the most important person to someone. You don’t deserve to be an after thought, a stop along the road, the person who is there when it’s convenient for him. You deserve the world and someone out there wants to give it to you, but not this guy.

But I can’t let go. I can’t let go because I think I’ve still got the slightest ounce of hope that maybe, just maybe, some day you’ll be ready for love and you’ll be ready for me.
