Even though I understand why you wouldn’t want me around now that you’re in a serious relationship with someone else, I’m still frustrated with you.

It’s good to be selective. It’s good to be careful about who you trust with your thoughts, your secrets, your soul.

I didn’t think I was the kind of girl who would get noticed.

Strong girls don’t realize how strong they are until a little bit of time passes, until they’re able to look back on everything from a distance. 

Sometimes, people who hurt each other are better off apart than trying to rebuild. Sometimes, you’re not meant to give your failed relationship a second chance.

You have to remember your anxiety isn’t going to chase the right person away. It isn’t going to be a deal-breaker.

Maybe you’re supposed to move on. Maybe you’re better off without them and their temporary love. 

Taurus: Feeling like a backup friend. Never getting invited out with groups. Watching everyone have fun on their Instagram stories without you.

When you learn to love yourself, it will be easier to accept love from him. It will be easier to see why such a great guy fell in love with you.

You aren’t going to reach your full potential unless you start to believe in yourself, trust yourself, and take a chance on yourself.

There are a million things I want to say to you, but I’m not sure whether I’ll ever find the courage to send you a text.

When you spend the whole day crying your eyes out, you wonder how you made it this far without shedding a tear. You wonder why everything seemed to come crashing down on you at once.

As soon as she starts to feel that way, you start to lose her.

I know you want some sort of revenge, some sort of closure, some sort of way to deal with your anger.

I shouldn’t have waited for you to make me a priority, because you ended up making someone else a priority.

You don’t deserve a one-word text. You don’t deserve a smile. You don’t deserve to be a passing thought in my mind, let alone a reoccurring one I can’t get out of my head. 

All that matters is your own opinion, your own happiness, your own sense of self.

The reason you think you’re single isn’t the same reason you’re actually single.
