You deserve the kind of love that makes you smile at red lights and fall asleep at night in absolute bliss.

Truth be told, sometimes the only thing that helps an aching heart is music. 

Your partner should respect your right to have friendships outside of the relationship.

amount of love you have for them has zero correlation to how good they will treat you. You can try your hardest and work yourself to the bone for them, but unless the effort is mutual, nothing will change.  

In the past, kindness was always followed up with some ulterior motive. Why would anything be different this time?

You cannot heal where you experience trauma. You cannot heal in the places you are being abused. 

Every little decision we make for ourselves adds up over time and makes us an individual. Don’t ever let someone rob you of that opportunity. 

Some connections are not meant to last forever and we can appreciate them for what they teach us before moving on.
