Because the kind of people who stick around through thick and thin, the kind of people who let you get away with things that you would not tolerate, the kind of people who give you too much are the kind of people who walk away when they’ve had enough.

Talk to God if you’re confused about someone, he will either move your heart closer or push you away. Signs will show up, you will hear something about them, you will see a side you haven’t seen before, you will slowly begin to make a decision and you will eventually figure out if that’s the right person for you.

When forgetting is the only option you have, I guess that’s what they call the sweet release. Releasing someone when you’re heart is still full of love.

I’ll never be satisfied with a heart that’s not all mine.

I’m slowly learning that it’s okay to love again without thinking about how or when it will end. I’m slowly learning that it’s okay to believe in love one more time without trying to protect my heart from being broken.

The truth is it will always feel like something is missing.

I hope you know that you always have a choice. I hope you understand that you are capable of changing your life even if the odds are against you.

I don’t know how to be anything other than intense. All in. Too much. Too involved. I don’t know how to be an almost or anything in between.

Do me a favor and know when to end things. When it causes you more pain than joy, end it. When it makes you feel like you’re not good enough, end it.

I don’t know if I’ll miss you and I don’t know if I’ll miss the place we once called home, but I know that at this moment, I miss myself more. I’ve locked the real me inside for so long. I was forced to become someone else to make you and everyone else here happy. But I’m finally done with it all.

You weren’t the year for me and it’s time to move on. It’s time to let you go.

In 2019, I’m putting all my faith in God. I’m going to let him guide me without trying to interfere with his plans. I’m not going to keep knocking on the doors he decided to close.

I’m slowly learning that you can never lose when you say the things that are truly worth saying.

But the most beautiful part of endings is that they show you what’s meant to be yours and what’s not. It’s God’s way of taking care of you.

It starts with realizing that you’re not as invested as you used to be and it doesn’t feel like losing.

There’s always a chance that it might not work out but there’s always a chance that it will and it could be everything you ever wanted and more.

You still choose the hard way because you don’t want to settle. You still follow your voice even if you’re outnumbered. You still believe against all odds.

Sometimes you need to be alone with the universe so you can learn how to be your own universe when people fail to give meaning to your life because as long as you keep searching for meaning in the universe and as long as you keep searching for answers within yourself, you will surely find them.
