It was too beautiful that morning. Too peaceful. Too eerily quiet and reflective.

I am everything a friend shouldn’t be. 

Please don’t call me for a while. I need space. 

When you gaze into her eyes, you’ll know. You won’t question, you won’t push, you won’t be frustrated. It will be so easy, transparent—everything we were not.

When you rush love, when you rush the time it takes to recover from previous heartbreaks and failures, you’re disservicing your ability to heal.

What is a life without feeling too much, caring too much, hoping too much? Is that even a life at all? 

I wait for the nights when I’m drinking with friends and the memories flood into each sip and I go home early to write. 

While I hate starting over, this feels like a new beginning. A new me.

It’s magical the way the heart yearns for what it doesn’t know.

When you walk into that new chapter of your life with a balanced love, they will accept those small tragedies with you, emerging forward united instead of against you.

Without you, our planet would not have the energy or color it has.

you would have owned those changes
knowing honestly, truthfully
there was only one change you needed to do

The strongest couples show their love by sharing with each other. They communicate in various methods, through various ways, and even without having to discuss how to communicate.

I’m afraid of what people will say, when they hear about us drifting, when they assume the worst and say, “I told you so.”

I won’t choose to return.

She wants you to know her pain, but she doesn’t want you to leave.

A strong woman doesn’t fall often. But when a strong woman falls, she completely lets go.

When you surround yourself with people who love you, everything has purpose.
