“

The truth is, we really are a compilation of all the people we have ever loved, of all the people we have ever been seen and held by.

“

We all wonder about our exes, even if it is for a short period of time and how they feel about the break up regardless of who initiated it. Are they sad? Mad? Angry? Hurt? Happy?

“

The reason you guys broke up doesn’t have any lingering weight on you, it’s water under the bridge. 

“

I mostly stayed out of fear. When he would tell me I was a selfish bitch, I would believe him. If he didn’t love me, nobody would.

“

You don’t have to stay friends with your ex — but you can treat him with kindness.

“

Don’t give him another chance to hurt you.

“

Turn your life into something that you can be proud of. Turn yourself into someone that you can be proud of. Focus on the light that you bring to your own life. Focus on what makes your heart beat faster. On what makes your smile beam brighter. 

“

You were my missing piece, I just wasn’t yours.

“

You’re allowed to let him or her go. You’re allowed to block them. To throw away the pictures that make you wince in remembrance that they are gone. You’re allowed to learn how to let them go. Even when it’s painful.

“

After trying on and off for that long of time, you have to snap back into reality. Eventually you have to do what is best for yourself, even if you have to cut off someone you use to love. Like I said, everyone changes throughout time, its unstoppable. With those changes though, you can choose to embrace them, or keep trying to live in the past.
