You should be proud of yourself for trying to mend your broken heart

When you’re still healing from all the ways love broke you, you learn to just let go.

There’s nothing better than deciding that you still have a say, you still have a choice, you still have a voice you can use to shift your life into another direction.

If you’re stuck at home with a toxic person, know you’re not alone and that you can do a few things to cope with such an unfortunate situation without completely losing your mind. 

It’s inevitable that after a few bad breakups or after a few bad relationships, you start guarding your heart and protecting yourself from falling in love again.

I know it’s a process and not an easy one, but it’s crucial to your mental health and your well-being.

When moving on becomes the only choice, you eventually do it.

There’s a place out there for you. There’s a home waiting for you to own it.

It’s time to break the rules that you didn’t sign up for. It’s time to unsubscribe from issues that you didn’t create. It’s time to take back your power from those who only loved you when you were silent or weak or obedient.

Your friendship will always be the reason behind the laughter after the tears. Your friendship will always be the reason why I heal faster and why I move on with ease. Your friendship will always be the reason behind all my happy endings. 

Every scar tells a story. Every scar changes you. Every scar makes you even more beautiful.

We may not always understand God’s decisions even if they cause us pain, confusion, or heartbreak but they’re always in our favor even if we can’t see it yet.

Maybe you were looking for all the right things in the wrong people or maybe part of you wasn’t ready to commit to someone on the level they wanted because you were still seeking your own truth, looking for answers and rediscovering who you really are. 

You don’t have to forgive someone who hurt you. You don’t have to pretend like the pain doesn’t exist or the reminders don’t come rushing back in every time you see them.

When you get used to goodbyes, you get used to leaving too.

Invest in yourself because it’s worth all the time, money and effort in the world.

May these times give us the push we needed to get things off our chests or apologize or express how we’re really feeling. 

I’m slowly learning how to stop giving other people the right to define me or tell me who I should be.
