Whether or not we stay with these people, a part of us will always be tethered to them. 

“

We didn’t have anything left to say.

“

Sometimes lost love is a reminder. Of who we are. Of our worth.

“

The ability to stay friends with a toxic ex may tempt you into believing that you’re both mature people capable of evolving, but the truth of the matter is, only one of you is truly capable of evolving and it’s not the narcissist.

“

That’s the saddest thing about breakups. You lose the closest person you ever had. You turn into two strangers in a bar, wondering about what could’ve been.

“

You’re totally fine, and then it hits. The pain. The agony. The sobbing into your best friend’s blouse at 3AM, surrounded by pizza crust and empty beer bottles.

“

You have forgotten how we used to be. How happy we once were. You broke your promise of not letting me go.

“

You still cross my mind sometimes. I wonder if I cross yours, too.

“

Time heals all wounds. Just give it time. Be patient. You’ve heard it all before. You’re grieving a loss in your life and everyone’s advice is to just give it time. Wait for the days to pass.

“

I believe in restoration. I’ve seen it too many times in my life, how God can make something beautiful out of pain.
