You have no idea how 

long something you say can stay in someone's 

mind. 

Scarlett Leithold 

Have you ever been so disappointed 

in someone that you forgive them and 

don't say anything, but in your head, 

you detach yourself from them 

completely? 

I can cut you off and still love you. 

I can stop speaking to you and 

still care for you. I can let you 

go and still wish you 

the best. 

If I leave you alone, it's not to be 

bitter or petty, it's for my own good. 

If I let you go, it's because I need to 

be happy, with or without you 

in my life. 

If someone makes you feel like 

you're disturbing them, do yourself 

a favor and never bother them 

again. 

Be with someone 

who sees the wars 

within you and not 

only chooses to stay, 

but chooses to stand 

by your side and help 

you fight them. 

Be with someone 

who sees the wars 

within you and not 

only chooses to stay, 

but chooses to stand 

by your side and help 

you fight them. 

An honest man will fight 

until he can't anymore and 

once he walks away, you will 

never see him again. 

A good man knows 

one man is enough, 

just like a good man 

Knows one man is 

enough 

A dead battery can't 

jump another dead 

battery. Get away from 

people who can't

charge your spirit when 

you need a jump

Toxic people make you think 

you're holding a grudge when 

you're really holding a 

boundary. 

Some days you will be 

the light for others and 

Some days you will 

some light from them. 

As long as there is light,  

there is hope, and there 

is a way. 

The person that looks 

out for everybody is 

always alone when they 

need somebody. 

You are not weak for 

wanting to 

have someone in your 

life who wholesomely 

and wholeheartedly 

adores you. 

Pray about 

it before you 

make that 

decision. 

Sometimes the 

love of your life 

comes after the 

biggest mistake 

of your life. 

In case you haven't been told lately. . . 

You are important. 

You are loved. 

And you matter. 

I never knew how 

strong I was until I had 

to forgive someone 

who wasn't sorry, and 

accept an apology 

I never received. 

Imagine loving someone that's 

actually healthy for you. 

Someone that creates good habits 

with you. 

Someone who's open minded and 

willing to serve with you. 

you deserve that kind of loved 

The goal is to 

laugh forever 

with someone 

you take 

seriously.

I'm proud of my heart. 

It's been played, 

stabbed, heated, 

burned and broken... 

but somehow still 

works 

once I'm off you I'm 

completely off you @l 

The smartest thing 

a man can ever learn, 

is to never need a 

man. 

l'm too old to worry about who 

likes me and who dislikes me. 

I have more important things 

to do. If you love me, I love you, 

If you support me, 

I support.you. If you hate me, 

I don't care. Life 

goes 

on with or without 

you. 

So many people from 

your past know a version 

of you that doesn't exist 

any more. 

I'm not looking for 

someone to save 

me. All I 

ne. All I want is 

for someone to 

stand by my side 

as I save myself. 

Ignoring red flags 

because you want 

to see the good in 

people will cost 

you later. 

Having someone 

you know you can 

text at any hour 

and tell absolutely 

anything and know 

they are trustworthy 

is truly one of 

life's blessings. 

I don't hide my 

scars. They are 

proof that I 

showed up for 

life. And fought.

Don't abuse a kind heart

It may never be offered again 

You either get bitter or 

you get better. It's that simple. 

You either take what has been dealt 

to you and allow it to make you a 

better person, or you allow it to tear 

you down. The choice does not 

belong to fate. it belongs to you. 

Emotional abuse works like this: You are screamed at, 

and then, not knowing any better, you stand up for 

yourself. You think this is a way of being strong. You 

think this is a defense tactic.But this only provokes more 

screaming. Going silent provokes more screaming too, 

but usually it keeps the threats to the minimum. It keeps 

it just at screaming and not: a shove down the stairs, or 

order to pack your stuff and get out. So you learn how 

to go silent. How to play dead. How to cry without 

making a noise. How to swallow noise. How to wipe your 

cheeks, get out of the car, and go about your day. You 

learn. And when the screaming has stopped, when the 

two of you are in the car or out to dinner and they're all 

smiles, all asking for favors, all questions, you are still 

hurt and annoyed and want to ask them, how? How can 

you speak to me like that? How can you pretend you did 

not say those things? How can you have forgotten? But 

you've learned. So you listen to, "Can I borrow your 

key"s and "how was your day"s and you play dead. You 

swallow the noise. And sometimes it doesn't matter who 

is speaking to you, it doesn't matter if they're a friend, it 

doesn't matter if their criticism is constructive, it doesn't 

matter. You've learned. Any sort of speaking, any raising 

of the voice, any insult and you play dead 

Any man can spend a man's money, 

ride in his car, order off 

the menu. 

But only a great man can help a man 

achieve his goals in life, support him, 

push him to be successful, shower him 

with positive energy, compliment him on 

a regular basis and never kick him while 

he is down. 

If you find a man like that, make him

your partner for life. 

People will quit on you. You gotta 

get up every day and make sure 

you never quit on yourself. 

Today you could be 

standing next to 

someone who is trying 

their best not to fall 

apart. So whatever 

you do today, do 

it with kindness 

in your heart. 

When you have 

a good heart: 

You help too much. 

You trust too much. 

You give too much. 

And it always seems 

like you're the one 

who gets hurt. 

if they gettin distant with you 

they getting close w someone 

else 

Never push a loyal

person to the 

point where they

no longer care 

Being in love isn't 

a mood, it's a 

commitment even 

when you're not in 

the mood for it. 

Do you ever wish you had never met someone because life would have 

been so much easier 

Cheating is NOT a mistake. 

If you're truly in love with 

someone, you will not be able to 

kiss someone else without tasting 

your loved ones tears stain your 

lips. You will not be able to take 

your clothes off for someone else 

without feeling like a field ripped 

bare to its soil: 

Cheating is a choice; it's a choice 

you made because you obviously 

didn't give a single fuck about 

your relationship. 

Men, too, deserve to be 

spoiled, told they are 

handsome, told their efforts 

are appreciated, 

and should also be made 

to feel secure. 

If he treats you like a prince, 

treat him like a King. 

So fucking true!

One day you will meet 

someone who will 

understand your story 

and protect you because 

they won't want you to 

suffer the same pain again. 

full offense but if I openly 

communicate the ways that your 

actions & words have hurt me & 

you choose to ignore my truth bc 

it challenges you, then I won't feel 

bad for removing you. I don't have 

time for immaturity, manipulation, 

projection or passive behavior, 

believe that. 

You deserve a love that won't 

keep you up worrying. 

You deserve a love that feels 

like home. 

A love that is certain. 

A love that makes sense. 

People don't abandon 

people they love. 

People abandon people 

they were using. 

No one ever got 

tired of loving. 

They got tired of 

waiting, assuming, 

hearing lies, saying 

sorry and hurting. 

When a train goes through a 

tunnel and it gets dark, you 

don't throw away your ticket 

and jump off. You sit still

and trust the engineer. 

You can't change 

someone who doesn't 

see an issue 

in their actions. 

Smh............

If he's your man, 

hug him, kiss him, tell him

that you miss him, spoil 

him, love him, and NEVER 

let him feel like he's 

in competition . 

I forgave you before you even left

If I were the sun 

and you were the sky 

I'd never set. 

I'd hover above 

the edge of the water 

waiting for you 

to shine your stars 

on me so I could 

become bigger 

than what I am. 

I was brighter 

when I was with you. 

You don't give up on the 

people you love i said, 

"you just have to let them

go in order for them to 

Find their true happiness" 

"aren't they happy with 

you?" he asked, ''they 

won 't leave if they are" I 

exclaimed, how 

about your happiness?" he 

asked again, "they're 

happiness matters to me, 

even if it means...without 

me" i turned my back and 

walk away as a tear started 

to roll down my cheek. 

YOU HAVE A CHOICE 

EACH AND EVERY SINGLE DAY. 

I CHOOSE TO FEEL BLESSED. 

I CHOOSE TO FEEL GRATEFUL. 

I CHOOSE  TO BE EXCITIED. 

I CHOOSE TO BE THANKFUL. 

I CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY. 

Marry someone you didn't have 

to give a million chances to 

because they appreciated you 

the first time around. 

Faithful men 

will give you so much of 

their attention, you might 

start thinking it's because 

they have no other option. 

Truth is they have plenty, 

they just don't want to 

entertain the thought of 

anyone else. 

I miss you with every 

breath I take, I wish 

your sadness didn't 

take you away. 

Sometimes when I 

close my eyes I can 

still see you and I 

reach for you with my 

arms as if I cou]d still

hug you. I wish I 

could hug your 

demons away, or 

squeese 

your 

gravestone until you 

again would make 

jokes about how 

stupid I am. I miss 

you, and none of my 

grief will bring you 

back, but please know 

that time won't drive 

you away either. You 

are forever with me

If you ever wonder if I 

miss you, the answer is 

always..Some days it's

fierce, but over time, it's 

become gentler, like a 

constant melody, your 

name pouring through my 

mind, on repeat. Your 

memorv the undcrcurrent 

my days

Life changes. You lose love. 

You lose friends. You lose pieces 

of yourself that you never 

imagined would be gone. 

And then, without you even 

realizing it, these pieces come 

back. New love enters. Better 

friends come along. And a 

stronger, wiser you is staring 

back in the mirror. 

I want to make one thing very clear.  I'm not mad at you, I don't hate you,  I do not wish you any bad luck, nor do I hold any ill vindictive thoughts against you.  What happened happened.  You can't control it. it's not your fault.  I wanted to help but it just wasn't my place.  I hope you find what you are looking for,  peace in your soul.  I love you still,  that won't change. 

I don't like being led 

on, lied to, confused, 

none of that. 

Just tell me how it is.

WHEN SOMEONE ISN'T TREATING YOU RIGHT,  NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM,  YOU HAVE TO LOVE YOURSELF MORE AND WALK AWAY 

This man has fought a 

thousand battles and is still 

standing. Has cried a 

thousand tears and is still 

smiling. Has been broken, 

betrayed, abandoned, 

rejected, but he still walks proud, laughs loud,  lives without fear and loves 

without doubt. 

This man is Beautiful. 

This man is Humble. 

This man is ME! 

He's going to be sorry he 

lost you, so stop 

worrying. 

Forget the past, forget 

the pain and remember 

what an incredible 

man you are. 

To whomever reading this, 

it means that God has wrapped 

His protective arms around you, 

blessing you with good health 

and another day to live. 

Do you believe? 

Eventually, you will meet a 

person who is tired of the 

games, too, and their 

loyalty will match yours. 

Personally this is bullshit,  fucking games is the norm. 

It took me a long time 

to understand what it 

means to forgive someone. I always 

wondered how I could forgive 

someone who chose to hurt me? 

But after a lot of soul searching, 

I realized that forgiveness is not 

about accepting or excusing their 

behavior. It's about letting it go 

and preventing their behavior from destroying my heart. 

Being alone may 

scare you. 

But staying in a 

bad relationship 

will damage you. 

ACCORDING TO ASTRONOMY 

WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR,

THAT STAR IS DEAD; 

JUST LIKE YOUR DREAMS: 

THEY'LL NEVER 

RESPECT YOU IF 

YOU KEEP GIVING 

THEM CHANCES TO 

DISRESPECT YOU. 

So fucking true!

If he misses you, he'll call just to hear 

your voice. If he wants you, he'll say 

it. And if he cares, he'll show it. If he 

has a thought about you, it will come 

out of his mouth. If you are on his 

mind non-stop, he will do anything 

he can just to see you. 

If he truly likes you, he won't let get 

anything in the way and light back 

just to keep you in his arms. If not, he 

can't be worth your time because 

you're obviously not worth his.
