You will always be the dream I can’t say out loud because I’m afraid others might run after you, I don’t want anyone to know that you exist and I don’t want anyone to know why I can’t give up on you and I’m afraid if I tell them about you, they will fall in love with you too.

And finally date someone who doesn’t make you feel like dating them is a race you need to win, that you have to compete for their attention, that you have to work on your resume so they can accept you, that you have to learn more skills so they can approve of you and date someone who thinks you’re overqualified to even participate in these ridiculous games.

Sometimes happiness is found when you cease to look for it, when you stop trying to gain things to make you feel whole, when you stop running after those who were not able to love you, when you stop putting too much pressure on controlling your fate or controlling your future and when you stop expecting happiness to manifest itself to you exactly the way you want it.

You deserve love that is real, that goes beyond double taps and likes and emojis. You deserve a sensational kind of love that soothes your heart and calms your mind. A love that doesn’t leave you guessing or questioning or wondering, a love that doesn’t make you doubt if your partner might leave you.

He’s not there for you when you need him. If he’s not there for you when you have problems, going through a hard time at work or any other time when you need his support, he doesn’t want to corner himself in the boyfriend department and he’s running away from that responsibility.

It means I miss you but I won’t tell you because it won’t change anything and because you already know.

You never know if you should follow your heart or your mind because they’re at two very different places taking you to two opposite directions.

I noticed the moment it all changed when your mind was somewhere else; thinking of something else or someone else.

If he’s a douche. They also just know, even if he has the biggest smile on his face, they can tell if he’s not genuine and if he’s just playing you.

Falling in love is not weakness, it’s only weakness when you try to run away from it, when you try to sabotage it, when you try to play with it, when you treat it like a game and when you keep pushing it away every time it knocks on your door.

We have to ignore those who left us behind. We have to ignore their promises, the plans we made for the future, the secrets they shared with us and the way they looked at us. We have to ignore these enchanting moments because they’re no longer happening. They chose to take it all back and we have no other choice but to leave them behind too.

I want you to know that I didn’t leave because of you, I left because of me, because of the person I was becoming, because of the person I was turning into and because I started to feel like I didn’t belong.

It teaches you that you can’t run away from who you are, you can’t run away from your thoughts, your feelings and the voices in your head. It teaches you that you’re stuck with yourself forever so you might as well love who you are.

When you realize he’s not the exception, you start to understand that if he was, he would’ve treated you exceptionally.

I’ll always smile and tell you I’m dating other people. I won’t tell you how they don’t compare to you, how I talk to them about you, how you always seem to come up in our conversations or in my mind and I won’t tell you that I don’t trust any of them.

They don’t allow themselves to be options. Strong women will not tolerate being treated like an option or being part of a bunch of women someone is dating. They appreciate commitment and honesty and anything other than that is a deal breaker for them.

She will make you feel the way the girl who’s sure about you feels. You will now understand what it feels like to be on the other side; the side of mixed signals, confusion, frustration and unrequited attention.
