The way I detach myself from 

people is by far the scariest past about 

me, because I can love you to death 

and never speak to you 

again. 

''it's sad how people world rather cut 

you off instead of apologize to you. 

how people would rather ignore their 

flaws but point the finger at you 

when you're wrong. it's sad, it really 

is. some people never mature and 

some people never own up to all the 

harm they've caused.'' 

R.M. Drake 

Some people keep changing 

partners to avoid changing 

themselves. 

Read that again. 

I want to wake up at 2am to 

find you still next to me. I'll 

look over at you sleeping 

and I'll smile. I'll give you 

the sweetest kiss and grab 

you closer to me. And I'll 

think to myself how lucky I 

am to have someone who 

loves me unconditonally. 

Someday, someone will 

 walk into your life and 

make you realize why it 

never worked with 

anyone else. 

I don't want much 

for Christmas. 

I just want the person 

who is reading this to be 

healthy, happy, and 

loved. 

Sometimes, you just 

have to be done. 

Not mad. 

Not upset. 

Just done. 

You know that moment 

when something feels off? 

It is. 

Trust your gut. 

Getting no message is  

also a message. 

I don't chase after people 

anymore. If they like spending 

time with.I me. they will

do so. 

If not, I'm content in my 

own company. 

Barry M. Sherbal

"Don't raise your voice. 

Improve your argument." 

Don't be so understanding 

that it hurts. 

The saddest thing 

about betrayal is that 

it never comes from 

your enemies. 

If I ever decide to give up on you, 

you need to understand how much 

That took out of me. 

I'm the type who gives endless 

chances, always has your back, and 

truly accepts you for who you are. 

When the rest of the world 

doesn't want you, 

I will. 

So if I decided to give up on you, 

please understand that it took 

everything out of me to leave 

you alone. 

Let it go. Yes, they did you 

wrong, but you do yourself 

wrong the longer you hold 

onto that grudge. 

It is so important to 

love someone a little 

extra on their bad 

days. 

You don't fall in love with 

a body, you fall in love with 

a soul,_ 

And once in love with 

a soul, everything about 

that body becomes 

beautiful. 

Fall in love with someone who wants you, 

who waits for you. Who understands you even in 

the madness, someone who helps you, and guides 

you, someone who is your support, and your 

hope. Fall in love with someone who talks 

with you after a fight. Fall in love with 

someone who misses you and 

wants to be with 

you. 

Do not fall in love only with a body 

or a face or with the idea of being 

in love. 

Distance is fine. 

Disloyalty is not. 

Disagreement is fine. 

Disrespect is not. 

Ever have that moment? 

When someone asks you if you're okay, 

and you just wanna turn to them and 

tell them everything. 

The words, the feelings, the truths 

are on the tip of your tongue, and all you 

want to do is let them all out and say that 

no, you're not okay and that you really just 

need someone to hold you in their arms 

and tell you that eventually, things 

will be, okay... but you 

don't. 

You don't tell them any of that, 

and instead... you just force a smile, 

lie, and tell them yes. Yes, you're 

okay. 

You are not afraid of 

new love, you are afraid 

of old pain. 

Silence is the best answer 

to someone who doesn't 

value your words. 

No matter how much it hurts 

now, one day you will look back 

and realize it changed your 

Life for the better. 

Let's all be grateful for our exes who made us 

realize how much we actually deserve. Thank you 

for breaking my heart and opening my eyes. I 

needed that. 

Brain: You need to 

move on. 

Heart: But what if they 

change. 

You can leave a toxic relationship, 

but if you don't heal what attracted 

you to them, you will meet 

them again. 

The same demon, just in 

a different person. 

You stopped saying 

Goodmorning 

You stopped saying 

Goodnight 

And thats how I knew I lost you

5 doings to keep 

quiet about: 

i.Your big plan. 

2. Your love life. 

3. Your income. 

4. Your next move. 

5. Your family issues. 

It's okay to disappear 

until you are you 

again. 

Never fuck with 

someone who is not 

afraid to be alone. 

You will lose every 

single time. 

Hardest pill I had 

to swallow this year 

was learning that no 

matter 

how good you could 

be to someone, no 

matter how much you 

love theme no matter 

how much time you 

put into someone. 

They can and will 

turn thier back on 

you and there ' s 

absolutely nothing 

you can do but suck 

it up and 

keep movi ng . 

Standing alone is better 

than standing with someone 

who doesn't value you. 

When they see you at your 

worst but still think you are 

the best, they are your 

people. 

Have you ever just randomly 

cried because you've been 

holding it in for too 

long? 

Do you ever want to tell them 

what's bothering you, but you 

know it'll start an argument, 

so you leave it and let it 

kill you inside. 

I should have hugged 

you tighter and longer 

the last time I saw 

you. 

Stop being so forgiving. 

People know exactly what 

they're doing. 

Fall in love with someone 

who doesn't make you think 

love is hard. 

WaIk away from 

arguments that lead to 

anger, from people who 

put you down, from 

anyone who doesn't see 

your worth. 

Walk away from mistakes 

and fears, they don't 

determine your fate. The 

more you walk away from 

the things that poison 

your soul, the happier you 

will be. 

Stop being so available 

for the person who always 

puts you last. 

Forgive yourself for 

accepting less than you 

deserve. But don't do 

it again. 

A mistake repeated 

more than once is 

a decision. 

When you finally learn that a 

person's behavior has more to do 

with their own internal struggle 

than it ever did with you, you 

learn grace. 

Allison Aars 

An apology 

without changed 

behavior is just 

manipulation 

It's okay to miss people 

but don't ever forget why 

They aren't in your life 

anymore. 

vVhen you are important to 

another person, that 

person will always find a 

way to make time for you, 

no excuses, no lies, no 

broken promises. 

If you walked away from 

a toxic, negative, abusive, 

one-sided, dead-end, low 

vibrational relationship, or 

friendship - YOU WON!

Lalah Delia 

Pay attention to.the way souls meet 

and the energy between them. 

It's not called magnetism for nothing. 

Souls recognize each other. 

-Melody, Lee 

You're crazy to everyone 

who can't manipulate 

you. 

I don't think anyone really 

understands how tiring it is to act 

okay and always be strong when 

in reality you're close to the 

edge. 

I am at a place in life where peace 

is a priority. I deliberately avoid 

certain people to protect my mental, 

emotional and spiritual state. 

In the end, only three things matter: 

how much you loved, how gently you 

lived, and how gracefully you let go 

of things not meant for 

you. 

I'm sorry that someone 

you loved made you think 

it's hard to love 

you. 

have the confidence to walk the fuck 

away if you aren't happy. 

Me losing respect for 

you is way worse than 

me being mad at 

you. 

Nobody can piss you off 

like like person you love, and 

I swear they hit a different 

type of nerve. 

My toxic trait: 

I got mad about old pain even 

if I moved past it. Because I still

don't understand why I 

deserved it. 

Always trust your first gut 

instincts. If you genuine]y feel 

in your heart and soul that 

something is wrong, it 

usually is. 

Slowly losing friends 

is a part of growing up. 

It's okay to have less 

but real ones. 

If I date you, I won't control you. 

Do what you want. 

Your actions will tell me 

how much you respect the 

relationship. 

As you die, you wake up in a fiery place. You 

quickly realize you're in hell. You ask the next 

demon why you are there, as you lived a very 

good life. "You're not being punished he 

says. "You are the punishment" 

You will never be good

enough for the wrong 

person. 

What was your biggest mistake? 

I made someone my priority when 

I was just an option for that 

person. 

One day 

love will come 

in the form of somebody 

who wants to give 

more than take , 

and you will know why 

love is rare. 

Mark Anthony 

No matter how much you 

miss a toxic person, please 

don't contact them. 

It's not worth it. 

You'll just be sad again. You deserve 

nothing but happiness, and it is not 

them. You don't ever need to feel

drained and exhausted over 

someone. 

Real love will find you. 

The best weight you'll ever 

lose is tl.ie weight of other 

people's opinions of 

you. 

Imagine someone 

listening to a song 

and thinking of you

My love is free but my trust is 

eamed. Do not mistake my kindness 

for weakness because my integrity 

is my greatest strength. 

Anna Grace Tavlcr. 

Sometimes miracles are 

just good people with 

kind hearts. 

Did they lie to you 

about who they were? 

Or did you lie to yourself 

about who they were? 

have the confidence to walk the fuck 

away if you aren't happy. 

Being single is better than 

being lied to, cheated on, 

and disrespected. 

Better days are coming. 

You won't always wake up 

in the morning with a 

heavy heart. 

Finally realized I was never 

asking for too much. I was 

just asking the wrong 

person. 

Let's be clear, a lot of people don't 

have "trust issues". They have "l've 

seen this pattern of behavior before, 

and I'll be damned if I go through 

the same crap again" issues. 

Sleeping next to someone you 

love makes you fall asleep faster, 

reduces depression, and helps 

you live longer. 

Knowing when to leave 

is so important. 

The party. Thejob. 

The relationship. 

It's okay to be sad 

after making the right 

decision. 

Sometimes closure arrives two 

years later, on an ordinary Friday 

afternoon, in a way you never 

expected or could have 

predicted. 

And you cry a little, and you laugh 

a little, and for the first time in a long 

time... you exhale. Because you 

are free. 

meeting 

eachother 

at the right time 

and place 

in the universe 

is a miracle 

i still 

believe in. 

Don't make excuses 

for nasty people. 

You can't put a flower 

in an asshole and call 

it a vase. 

Doing things alone is 

liberating, empowering, 

and... necessary! 

Some people are holding 

grudges against you for 

things they did to 

you. 

Never apologize for trusting 

your intuition. 

Your brain can play tricks, 

your heart can be blind, but 

your gut is always 

right. 

If you want to be 

trusted, be honest. 

Some peopIe are holding 

grudges against you for things 

they did to you. 

The black sheep is 

sometimes the only one 

telling the truth 

If someone wants you in their 

life, they will make room for you. 

If you don't have 

good intentionsp please 

just leave me alone. 

I'm tired. 

Sometimes happiness looks 

like staying home, minding your 

business, telling people NO, 

and doing you. 

WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR ex IS TOXIC but you get lONEY AnD TAKE Him BACK anyway 

My ex has taught me that no 

matter how good of a man you 

are, you'll never be good enough 

for a guy who isn't ready to 

be a man. 

Let it hurt, babe, for as long as 

you need it to, but don't hold 

the pain like it's a bandage that 

covers a lifetime oftrauma. 

Deal with your trauma, so you 

can lay unrelated pain down, 

instead ofcarrying it like a 

weapon that you pull out to use 

against anything and everything 

that causes you to feel fear. 

You have carried the weight of 

the world for so long, you don't 

know who you are without it. 

For as long as you carty it, it 

holds you down. Put it down 

and lay it to rest, babe. You are 

better without it. I promise. 

Never push a loyal person 

to the point where they 

no longer care. 

Memories 

remind us that nothing 

last forever, you can be 

happy today and sad 

tomorrow, time is precious 

and should not be wasted, 

enjoy life and remember 

don't count your days, 

make vour davs count. 

You deserve someone 

who isn't confused 

about the feelings 

they have for you. 

It sucks when you want to 

be heartless, but you know 

That's not who you 

are. 

Sometimes, the person you 

need to talk to the most is 

in heaven. 

Your gut is more 

powerful than anyone's 

advice. 

Nothing annoys me more than 

when someone expects you to be 

okay with something that they 

wouldn't be okay if it was 

done to them. 

One day it just clicks. You realize what's 

important and what isn't. You learn to 

care less about what other people think 

of you and more about what you think 

of yourself. You realize how far you've 

come and you remember when you 

thought things were such a mess that 

you would never recover. And you 

smile. You smile because you are truly 

proud of yourself and the person you've 

fought to become. 

Trust me, 

I know how it feels. 

I know exactly how it feels to cry in 

the shower so no one can hear you, and 

waiting for everyone to fall asleep so you 

can fall apart, for everything to hurt 

so bad you just want it all 

to end. 

I love him 

not for the way he dances

with my angels, but for the way 

The sound of his name can 

silence my demons 

Please love yourself,

even on the days when you 

aren't fulfilling your own 

expectations. 

The two wolves in me are not at war. In fact, 

they are lovers. The black wolf is powerful 

and reckless and howls at the moon. The 

white wolf is spiritual and kind and prefers 

bathing under the sun. They are polar 

opposites, therefore they are the perfect pair. 

I feed them both. I control them both. 

Go for someone who is 

not only proud to have you, 

but will take risks to 

keep you. 

"We'll figure it out together" 

is a love 

language. 

I'm sorry I mistook all our 

laughs, long nights, sweet texts 

and inside jokes as you caring. 

I'll think twice before wasting 

my time again. 

Hands up!

Raise your hand if you've ever 

dated an abusive man that yelled 

when he was accused, cried when 

he got caught, and somehow 

it was always your 

fault. 

You think you can 

hurt me? 

I'm an overthinker. 

I already knew you were 

going to hurt me. 

I was good enough, 

but you made me believe 

I wasn't. 

Never forget who ignored 

you when you needed them 

and who helped you before 

you even had to 

ask. 

Sometimes it's not the 

person you miss. 

It's the feeling you had 

when you were with 

them. 

When you're too 

accessib[e, peop]e will

take advantage. 

There are people 

who love you. 

Stop focusing on 

The ones who don't. 

No matter how much 

you water it, a dead 

flower will never 

grow. 

I think it's imoortant 

to realize you can miss 

something, but not 

want it back. 

If you want to be trusted, 

be honest. 

May you get a sign that shows you 

that you're on the right path and that 

things are flowing and moving in your 

favor. May the sign be evident, clear, 

and direct. 

I had to stop being so 

understanding. 

I was overlooking the 

disrespect. 

I know there are times when I'm 

actually hard to be with. You fall in 

love with someone who has so 

many problems and I just want to 

say thank you for being there for 

me despite that reasons not to. 

I have a lot of flaws that could 

have pushed you away, but you're 

still there, trying to keep me. 

What if it does work out exactly how 

you imagined it or greater. Entertain 

that thought. 

If you don't like me, 

please don't pretend 

That you do. 

Ever. 

My silence means I am tired of 

fighting, and now there is nothing 

left to fight for. 

My silence means I am tired of 

explaining my feelings to you, but now 

I don't have the energy to explain 

them anymore. 

My silence means I have adapted to 

the changes in my life, and I don't want 

to complain. 

My silence means I am on a self-healing 

process, and I am trying to forget everything 

I ever wanted from you. 

My silence means I am just trying to 

move on gracefully with all my dignity. 

You have no idea how 

long something you say 

can stay in someone's 

mind. 

Scarlett Leithold 

Underestimate me. 

That'll be fun. 

It's hard to trust 

when all you have from 

the past is evidence why 

you shouldn't. 

The drugs never loved you & 

the people who gave them to 

you didn't either. 

There comes a point in your life when you 

realize who matters, who never did, who 

won't anymore, and who always will. And in 

the end you leam who is fake, who is true 

and who would risk it all for you. 

Yes I know one

Narcissist 

(n.) a more polite term 

for a self-loving, maipulative 

evil asshole with no soul. 

There's always some truth 

behind just kidding, knowledge 

behind don't know, emotion 

behind don't care, and pain 

behind it's okay. 

I'm so grateful for 

the people who don't give 

up on me and are patient 

with me while I'm distant 

and trying to figure 

myself out. 

The best way 

to find a true and  

loyal friend is 

to be one. 

You know  what's attractive? 

Seeing people change for that one person. 

Whether it's cutting down their drinking habits 

or to stop doing drugs, and maybe even something 

 small like. to stop swearing. It just proves that 

when it comes down to it, they would do 

whatever it takes to see that 

Person happy.. 

Stopping habits is a hard thing to do 

 and to see people actually doing that 

for someone's love is really 

attractive to me. 

Hardest thing in 

the world is

fixing a heart 

you didn't break. 

I no longer have patience 

for certain things, 

not because I've become arrogant, 

but simply because I reached a point in my life 

where I do not want to waste more time with 

what displeases me or hurts me. 

I have no patience for cynicism, excessive 

criticism and demands of any nature. 

I lost the will to please those who do not like me, 

to love those who do not love me and to smile at those 

who do not want to smile at me. 

I no longer spend a single minute on those 

who lie or want to manipulate. I decided not to 

coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, 

dishonesty and cheap praise. 

Jose Micard Teixeira 

Intimacy is not 

who you let touch you. 

Intimacy is who you text 

at 3am about your dreams 

and fears. 

Intimacy is giving someone 

your attention, when ten other 

people are asking for it. 

Intimacy is the person 

always in the back ofyour mind, 

no matter how distracted 

you are. 

Everyone talks about how hard it is to 

trust people after you've been hurt. 

But barely anyone talks about how 

hard it is to trust *yourself* when 

you've had your gut instincts and 

convictions skilfully undermined by 

someone. 

If I ever stop talking to you & remove 

you from my life, I hope you 

understand how hard it was for me. I 

have a bad habit of holding onto the 

little bit of good in ppl, no matter how 

bad they clearly are for me. So if I don't 

fw you anymore, it's bc you pushed me 

past my limits. 

YES!!!!!

Ever wish you could meet 

someone again for the very 

first time and walk right 

past them? 

I don't know who needs 

this message but seriously, 

You did the right thing. You didn't 

overreact. Stop feeling guilty. You gave 

them so many chances. You tried so 

many times. You just finally got sick 

of their bullshit, lies, and 

manipulations. 

This is a blessing. 

Tt's time to move on. 

Yes I have

Yes I did!

Do not believe the 

thoughts you tell yourself 

when you are sad and 

alone. 

Being able to respond with 

sarcasm within seconds of a stupid 

question is a sign of a healthy 

brain. 

One of the best feelings is 

finally losing your attachment 

to somebody who isn't good 

for you. 

Sometimes you don't realize 

how terrible someone treated 

you until you are explaining 

it to someone else. 

Have you ever loved 

someone so much you tried 

to understand them while 

they were hurting 

you? 

Some people are holding 

grudges against you for things 

they did to you. 

I'm loyal. 

I'll never leave you for 

someone else. 

I'll only leave you for myself... 

for my peace, my sanity, my 

respect, my dignity, my 

survival. 

When you learn to 

love yourself, 

your taste in men 

will change. 

I don't need a man 

to solve my problens. 

I need a man 

who won't become 

a problen. 

Interesting how people think 

your life is easy just because you 

don't talk about the things you 

go through. 

Some of us never found time 

to be happy because we were 

too busy trying to be 

strong. 

If someone really loves you, no 

matter how many other people 

they meet, their feelings for you 

wouldn't change. A real lover 

can't be stolen. 

People don't abandon 

people they love. 

People abandon people 

they were using. 

Learn to be okay with people not 

knowing your side of the story. 

You have nothing to prove 

to anyone. 

Kill the part of yourself that 

stall wants to save someone after 

they walked away while you 

were drowning. 

Has someone ever messed up your 

head so much that you can't even be 

happy anymore? Because all you do 

is sit there and think about what 

you did to deserve the 

bullshit. 

April 28, 2020 I felt this

lsn't it weird how you can 

actually feel the pain in your chest 

and stomach when something 

really hurts your feelings? 

Standing alone doesn't mean 

I am alone. It means I am strong 

enough to handle things all 

by myself. 

The pain will leave 

once it has finished 

teaching you. 

If you remember anything of me after I 

leave this world remember that i loved 

even when it was foolish. That I cared 

even when it was unwanted.When my 

body is gone remember my heart. 

I lose track of how many ames 

per day I want to turn and say, 

"You can't seriously be that 

stupid." 

People look so different once 

you don't care about them 

any more. 

You begin to notice how ordinary 

they are, and how it was your love 

that made them special, that 

placed them on some sort 

of pedestal. 

Staying quiet doesn't 

mean I have nothing to 

say. 

It means I don't think 

you are ready to hear my 

thoughts. 

Sometimes losing 

people makes you find 

yourself. 

Nobody's your friend until

they defend your name in 

your absence. 

I love you means nothing ,without 

action. Anyone can say it,. but only 

the ones who truly care about 

you will show 

you. 

The world is gonna judge you 

no matter what you do, so live 

your life the way you 

want to. 

You should tell people 

how important they are 

to you. 

Always! 

It isn't my responsibility 

to rebuild a bond that I 

didn't break. 

If you can lie down at night 

knowing in your heart that you 

made someone's day just a little 

bit better, you know you had a 

good day. 

lsn't it pathetic how we waste so 

much time on some people, and in 

the end, they prove they weren't 

even worth a second 

of it? 

It isn't my responsibility 

to rebuild a bond that I 

didn't break. 

I would rather adjust my life 

to your absence than adjust my 

boundaries to accommodate 

your disrespect. 

If your partner isn't your 

first priority, please leave. 

You are wasting their 

time. 

Don't you feel lonely living in 

your own little world?

 

He whispered: 

Don't you feel powerless living in 

other people's worlds? 

'Vou've become so damaged that when 

someone tries to give you what you 

deserve, you have no fucking idea how 

to respond." 

And finally you realize... you 

can't force "it" to be something. 

You can't force consistency, loyalty 

or even honesty... 

You can't force them to keep 

their word, or to communicate, 

or to rea]ize something special

is in front of them. 

Before you start to judge me, step into 

my shoes and walk the life I'm living, 

and if you get as far as I am, just maybe 

you'll see how strong I really am. 

A person in 2 months can 

make you feel what a person 

in 2 years couldn't. 

Time means nothing, 

character does. 

I was told I was dangerous. 

I asked why? and their 

response was "Because you 

don't need anyone." 

I smiled.....

How close you are with 

someone is not based on 

how often you talk to each 

other, but how much you 

trust each other. 

Kinda cool to think someone 

somewhere is having the best day of 

their life today. Someone's hearing I 

love you for the first time today. 

Someone's gonna get the job of their 

dreams today. Someone received 

some kinda good news today. 

Tomorrow it could be ur best day so 

keep going

people from  

your life because he hears

conversations that you

didn't hear

There is a message 

in the way a person 

treats you. . . 

just listen. 

When two people decide to 

Never give up on each other, 

Half of the battle is already won. 

Have you ever wanted to cry but 

no tears came out so you just stare 

blankly into space while feeling 

your heart break into 

pieces?

I take friendships and 

relationships so seriously 

I will literally do anything 

for you without hesitation 

if you do right by 

me. 

A Taurus could love you 

to death and never speak 

to you again. 

Understand that.....

Be forgiving. 

Be understanding. 

But do not be a fool.
