Just let me love you with all the ugliness you think is within you. Let me love you with all your messiness and uncertainty.

It wasn’t like ripping off a band aid and just getting over it. Our breakup was a long and slow process.

Your energy introduces you before you speak.

What am I supposed to do with that love? What good does it bring me if I can’t feel its warmth and beauty?

Sometimes defending yourself and standing up against a toxic person can be harder than accepting being the victim.

I didn’t trust people like I used to. I couldn’t just be or let my guard down.

I wished you could see yourself through my eyes, because then you could see how all the things you thought were so ordinary about you were actually so beautiful and extraordinary.

Sometimes everything feels too much, and everything is overwhelming; even the simplest everyday act seems like a very heavy thing to do because you’ve had enough and you need to get away. 

I wish we could get back to the time when we said goodbye to each other for the first time, only to discover later on that it wasn’t really a goodbye but the beginning to a beautiful story.  

If you find yourself in a relationship where someone brings out the worst in you, don’t just walk away — run.

You haven’t been in a situation where one day you’re completely in love and everything is perfect, and the next day you realize that nothing is perfect and the person you’re in love with has been cheating on you all along.

Doing the right thing is not easy — it’s heartbreaking sometimes — but you learn along the way that sometimes you have to collect every single bit of courage and strength inside of you to do it for your own sake, because you know better than not to.
