"Sometimes you can't let go of what's making you sad, because it was the only thing that made you happy."

"Only put energy into things you have a future with."

"Sometimes we need hard days to know who is family, who is a friend, who is a partner and who is a passenger in our lives."

"Be so rooted in yourself that nobody's absence or presence can disturb your peace."

"I realized today that I have stopped living life. I'm literally just trying to get to the next day, just living in the thought of tomorrow. I'm not living, I'm waiting. And the trouble is, I don't know what I'm exactly waiting for."

"The disrespect was so loud at the end that the memories lost all value."

"You finally understand the difference between people who love you, people who love to be around you and people who love what you can do for them."

"The ability to feel pain without letting it destroy you or someone else is a superpower."

"The ability to speak several languages is an asset, but the ability to keep your mouth shut in any language is priceless."

"You deserve a healthy love with someone who hears you, sees you, understands you, appreciates you, supports you, and loves you. Someone who is patient, communicates clearly, and creates a calm safe space to heal, grow, and bloom together. A love you don't have to heal from."

"Forgive yourself for all the wrong things you did just to be loved."

"I want to go home, but i don't know where home is – it's a place where everything is alright. but i don't know where is everything alright."

"Your next season is going to make some people wish they had treated you differently."

"The past exists to guide and warn you, not to trap you. Learn from it, but do not live there; growth requires moving forward, not anchoring in what is over."

"I hope you get everything you ever wanted and I hope I never hear anything about it."

"Perhaps - I want the old days back again and they'll never come back, and I am haunted by the memory of them."

"I saw someone else wearing my most favorite shade of blue, and I acted as if I had never known this color."

"Ever locked yourself in the bathroom, cried, washed your face, and came back as nothing happened?"

"My best dreams and worst nightmares have the same people in them."

"I have never regretted my silence, as for my speech I've regretted it many times."

"The world is happening in a room that I can't enter, life is happening in a gathering I am not invited to. Being unwanted is a language I am fluent in."

"Conversations, friendships, relationships, attention, love. Anything forced is just not worth fighting for. Whatever flows, it flows, what crashes, it crashes. It is what it is."

"The more a person understands the truth of this world, the more they quietly drift away from the crowd."

"If everything you offered wasn't enough, offer your absence. Salt isn't on the menu, but when it's missing, you feel it."

"No one talks about the personality shift as you get older. Where you no longer want to be impressive, you want to be rested. You want to be regulated and completely unavailable to anything that drains you."

"The only thing you can control is how you love someone, not what they do with the love you give them."

"I only have one life and I'm supposed to spend it proving to strangers that I'm a good person? I'm a devil, go away."

"The older I get, the less I want to be impressive. I want mornings that don't rush me. Conversations that don't drain me. A life that doesn't ask me to explain myself."

"They say every storm has two purposes: Destroy what isn't solid... and reveal what is."

"We stress too much for a life that can end at anytime. Make sure to live."

"It's sad how we keep searching for light in the same person who had left us alone in the dark."

"We need to learn the difference between connection & attachment. Genuine connection fills up your cup, attachment drains it."

"The way I detach myself from people is by far the scariest part about me, because I can love you to death and never speak to you again."

"We romanticize the stars, but forget the dark is what made them visible."

"Your mindset is either a weapon or a weakness. Train it to fight for you, not against you."

"Give it no attention and it will have no power over you."

"You get what you fight for, not what you wish for."

"I may think of you softly from time to time. But I'll cut off my hand before I ever reach for you again."

"I wrapped myself in thorns and then hated everyone who didn't want to touch me."

"In the end... We only regret the chance we didn't take, the relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make."

"The devil wouldn't be attacking you so hard if there wasn't something valuable inside of you. Thieves don't break into empty houses."

"It's hard to sleep at night when your mind is full of unsaid thoughts."
