As exhausting as this year has been, it’s time to let go of everything that mentally destroyed you.

I hope you never settle for a love that makes you feel like you have absolutely nobody to run to with the thoughts in your head.

When you’re suffering from a great loss, you’ll do anything and everything just to forget the excruciating pain of missing them.

The truth is, you’re not being brave or fearless by pretending you can’t feel your emotions. No matter how unattached you seem, being distant and emotionally unattached isn’t a sign of strength.

When you have the emotional maturity to process your emotions in a healthy manner, you know that bad feelings don’t last for a long period of time.

Instead of having these self-sabotaging thoughts about your trauma, shifting your mindset lets you realize that your life has always been under your control all this time.

Modern dating is comprised of casual relationships just to feel momentarily good about ourselves, until we remember that it was never love to begin with. Modern dating is the wall that breaks relationships apart, because it’s meant to be a short-term, casual thing- something not meant to last.

Time is the most underrated form of love, so when he gives you his time, you know you can trust him with your heart.

The thing about family is that it keeps you grounded and encourages you to become a better person. A toxic family won’t ever do that for you.

1. It’s okay if you’re struggling.

There are various definitions of effort, but people don’t always stop trying.

“I’ll always be defined by my past.”

It’s easy to fall in love when everything’s beautiful and perfect. The real challenge is falling in love with someone for the very essence of their soul.

There is nothing a hopeless romantic hates more than casually dating someone.

One year together and you never fail to make me feel loved every day.

Let go of the expectation that you need to have your life all figured out.

You need someone filled with intellect, depth and wisdom.

We can help them carry their baggage, but they have to be strong enough to conquer it.
