I refuse to let the wrong ones change my heart. I refuse to let them win. I refuse to let them change the way I love. The way I care. The way I feel when I give someone the best of me.

When it becomes hard to love again, just remember that it won’t always be that hard. That it won’t always be the same story, it won’t always be the same game.

Sometimes they fall in love with me. They promise me forever. They promise to always be there. Still, I can’t get myself to fall for them. I’d rather fall in love with you again.

This is me setting myself free from the picture-perfect life I once wanted to live. This is me learning that maybe my picture was out of focus.

She doesn’t get attached anymore because she’s tired of people pulling away, people changing their minds, people leaving, people not knowing what they want or what they’re looking for.

There may be plenty of other women and men out there, but there’s only one you. There’s only one you and that’s going to be enough for the right person.

It’s important to let ourselves relish the pleasures that come from simply letting things be, letting them flow, letting them worry about themselves instead of us worrying about them.

Letting go is not quitting. It’s not giving up. It’s not failing.

Virgo. Perfection doesn’t exist. Stop looking for it.

Here’s to the girls who are still learning that they matter.

I can’t wait for the day when we finally feel good enough. When we realize that we’re not broken or damaged or pathetic.

In a world teaching you how to be aloof, unattached and distant, be brave, vulnerable and attentive. Be the one who cares more. Be the one who says ‘I love you’ first.

I’m learning that maybe the universe is on my side and timing is not always a bitch.

Those who need love the most will always look for it in the wrong places. In the arms of the wrong people. In hearts that don’t want them. In people who don’t want to change.

Because the greatest pain of all is not learning how to survive, the greatest pain is expecting to play it safe all the time and hoping the world will play it safe with us too.

I firmly believe that love is not boring but the wrong relationship is.

The girl who has moved on doesn’t come back. She had to learn how to heal her own heart. She had to learn not to miss someone who doesn’t miss her.

Thank you for making our lives less terrifying. Thank you for making our darkness a little bit brighter.
