“

You were my bittersweet hopelessness, the sourly saccharine satisfaction of freedom after heartbreak.

“

For me, they wear the faces of all those I love and care for.

“

Blessings are hard, and blessings hurt.

“

I was the darkness you thought you needed until you realized that you didn’t.

“

Don’t block your blessings.

“

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

“

Maybe if I realize that losing you was not of God, and not meant to break me, but to build me, I can decide to let you go happily, knowing that where I go next will be where I need to be.

“

With God, I can cling to happiness and not be scared that it’s going to be taken away from me. I don’t have to look at happiness as something temporary, something that comes rarely, something that I’m afraid to embrace.

“

Remember this: The richness of your life is not determined by physical things.

“

If you don’t feel blessed to have her in your life, through the good and the bad times, let her go because she is not your blessing to have. She is another man’s blessing and you are holding her back from what she truly deserves.
