No matter how hard I tried to just move on, I couldn’t. I cared and longed to feel wanted too deeply, but in all the wrong ways.

“

To the man who broke my heart, but also made it feel whole at one point, here’s all the things I wish I could have said, and all the things you probably didn’t know, but should.

“

Once you curl yourself up to sleep and wake for dawn, you can take comfort in the fact that you’ve survived your storms for now.

“

Thank you for teaching her what real love does not look like.

“

Thank you for being my best friend. I don’t know where either of us would be today had we not met on the very first day of fifth grade.

“

Our love would live on in lined notebooks and spilled ink if I had my way. 

“

Remember this, you are this example of beauty and strength, purely already from the fact you have been through what you have been through and are still hopeful.

“

You should be proud of yourself for being brave enough to admit when you just aren’t feeling whole anymore. 

“

My boyfriend, his friends, you and our friends became one big group and spent all of our time together. It was the best summer of my life so far. 

“

You’re not alone.
