It helps you practice gratitude. Fasting makes you realize how much you take things like food and water for granted and gives you a taste of how some less fortunate people actually live; deprived from the simple things that we take for granted every day. It teaches you how to be compassionate and count your blessings instead of focusing on the things you don’t have.

I hope we can look back at this time as an intermission not an ending, as a cliffhanger not the end of a show and I hope we’re meant to go our separate ways so we can reunite again rather than drift apart.

Transformation is not smooth. It is often preceded by chaos, misery and self-doubt. Your breakdown will eventually turn into a breakthrough.

Don’t call me at night if you don’t plan on calling me every night. Don’t make me fall asleep thinking of you if you don’t plan on reminding me in the morning that you were thinking of me too.

Every time I start falling for someone, I think of how I fell for you and suddenly I’m not even sure if I can ever fall for anyone the same way again. It’s like you were the fall I never really recovered from, you took the biggest part of my heart that I may not be able to get back.

Giving too much information. Sometimes liars overcompensate for their lies by providing too much information or explanations on the subject to make people think that what they’re saying is actually true.

Pictures can be a mini reflection of your life; of how time changes people, of how you changed, of how you thought certain people will always be in your life but now you barely even talk to them and it reminds you of how you can live without people you said you couldn’t live without.

You stopped settling for almost or bad relationships. You understand what you want from someone and if that person is not willing to give you what you’re asking for, you don’t try to make it work or try to force it, you just let it go and try to move on. You’re no longer a slave to your expectations and fantasies and you’ve become emotionally stronger to handle these situations better than you used to.

If all you wanted was my attention, you got it. If all you wanted was a rebound, you had it. If all you wanted was to prove that you can still make anyone fall for you to stroke your own ego, I fell for you. So congratulations, you won. You got what you wanted and left me with nothing. Are you happy now?

I don’t want someone who’s living in pictures, who only wants what looks pretty, who picks profiles instead of souls. I want someone who looks beyond what they see on their screen, beyond what they read in a bio and someone who wants to date so they can find love instead of dating to run away from it.

I don’t want to take shortcuts to find love. I want to fall in love with a lot of wrong people and get heartbroken a few times, because this is how you grow, this how you become wiser and this is when you learn how to be compassionate, how to be kind and how fragile our hearts can be.

Scorpio. Their past lovers. Scorpios are attractive and magnetic and they have plenty of admirers and lovers and ex-lovers trying to win them back. They dated a lot of people from all over the world so their stories will always include something with another partner involved.

I only wanted to feel you on my skin, trying to discover what’s underneath, little did I know that you bring people to you only to leave them drowning.

I don’t cry every night when someone leaves anymore. I stopped wasting tears on people who wouldn’t shed a tear for me, I stopped giving people a free space in my heart when they kicked me out of theirs and I stopped letting people define my worth.

When no one else gets your quirky sense of your humor. You miss how she would pick up on your looks or inside jokes, how she knows when you’re being sarcastic and when you’re lying to strangers, you just miss your bond with her that makes even the simple moments memorable.

When you’re tired of failing. Ask him to give you peace of mind, ask him to give you the faith you need to trust him and trust that this is all for a reason, that he is putting you through this for a bigger and better purpose and that he is not going to let you down. Ask him for patience to wait for the answers.

It means I can sense you’re at a different pace. It means you like me waaayy more than I like you and I’m not ready for that kind of emotional wave.

Sometimes things make more sense the second time around. People change, you change and the universe changes, if we keep ourselves confined to first chances only, we will truly miss out on some of the most beautiful things in life.
