I guess there’s no more us. I guess there was never an ‘us.’I guess ‘us’ was nothing but a fantasy.

But one thing I know for sure is that we can always wake up from the wrong dream. It doesn’t have to be the reality we keep on living. It doesn’t have to be our story.

They come back when you’ve built your own home and learned how to let the sunlight in all the dark spots they left.

But even though closure is overrated, sometimes it’s exactly what you need to realize that you don’t need to seek closure from anyone anymore. It’s exactly what you need to learn that it doesn’t really matter.

She wants to stick around but she finds it easier to walk away. She finds it easier to be alone. She finds it easier to be selfishly guarded instead of getting hurt again.

It took me a very long time to realize that I could do everything right and still get it wrong because I’m not being true to myself. It took me a very long time to realize that maybe it’s me but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Sometimes you’ll give too much and not get anything in return. Sometimes you’ll fight hard for things and end up losing. Sometimes you’ll love people who won’t love you back.

He doesn’t know how to fix broken things and I don’t know how to love someone whole.

They will always see the silver lining in tragedies. They will always see the beauty in pain. They will always find a way to be kind when they’re supposed to be mean. They will always choose kindness even if it’s not reciprocated.

Wait for the person who keeps proving you wrong every time you think they’d let you down. Wait for the person who changes the same old heartbreaking story you’re used to.

Your presence shouldn’t be annoying to anyone. Your interest shouldn’t be taken lightly. Your time shouldn’t be temporary.

How could anyone find you and not find everything they’ve been searching for? How could anyone know you and then let you go?

Because if God is writing my story, then it will surely be a beautiful one. It may not be an easy one, but I know it has a happy ending. I know it’s filled with dreams coming true and wishes being granted and miracles finding their way to me.

Every time you stayed, they showed why you should have left. Every time you stayed, they end up leaving first.

Thank you for reserving the space we left instead of replacing us. Thank you for letting everyone know that no one can take our place.

Your absence was the beginning of me finding myself. Your absence was the beginning of me learning to distance myself from people like you.

In 2018, I’m breaking up with the enemy within. The voices in my head that keep telling me that I can’t do something or I’m not good enough.
