“Respect me, not because I respect you, but because I deserve your respect.”

I am broken beyond repair. There is no going back to the person I was before. There is rebirth, rebuilding, reinventing, and soul stitching with gold that needs to happen.

I fell in love with you the day you showed me your soul. And I spent days, months, and a year and part of a year realizing that you covered your soul again because you could not handle the love that I was touching you with.

When pain knocks on your door, welcome it. Let it in. Sit with it. Have tea with it. Understand it. Then let it leave.

I broke my soul trying to mend yours.

The truth can be seen, but it is not believed until it is openly said.

You were my home for so long. Now I realize that humans cannot be homes. If homes can leave, then they are not homes.

My heart aches in corners I did not know existed.

I spent more time getting over you than I spent falling in love with you.

To you, it is much easier to not say a word. To me, I choke on my words if I do not say them. What truly hurts me is that you know that your silence infects a storm in my mind yet you choose it oh so easily.

I may have been successful at giving, but I never know when to stop.

Keep your heart beautiful. The world needs that.

Letting go does not mean that you are giving up ir that you are weak. It could just mean that you are no longer allowing what hurts you to control you.

Today I decided to forgive you. Not because you apologized, or because you acknowledged the pain that you caused me, but because my soul deserves peace.

It is your choice to either stay halfway through or to continue your journey once you start it, to reach that destination of the person you know you can be.

For them to see you shine, you must stay far away, for you are just like the sun, when you are too close, you light makes them blind. And when you are too far, they seek you. So let them seek you.

I am no longer defined by what happened to me, but by who I am.

You’re the queen and you deserve someone who treats you like one.

You don’t deserve to be in pain due to someone else’s actions.

You deserve to be proud of the person you are and love the life you’re living.

Not everyone in your life deserves a second chance.

You deserve to live the life you want to live, not the life others expect you to live.

Great people grab everything they deserve by the balls. No need to ask for permission when you know you deserve it.

Keep your goals for yourself. Not everyone deserves access to yourself.

You deserve to live the life you want to live, not the life others expect you to live.
