As we grow up… we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will. you will have your heart broken probably more than once and it’s harder every time. you’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. you’ll fight with your best friend. you blame a new love for things an old one did. you’ll cry because time is passing too fast. and you’ll eventually lose someone you love. so take too many pictures, laugh to much, and love like you’ve never been hurt. because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back. don’t be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

in the long run, it’s not a question of whether they deserve to be forgiven. you’re not forgiving them for their sake. you’re doing it for yourself. for your health and well-being, forgiveness is simply the most energy-efficient option. it frees you from the incredibly toxic, debilitating drain of holding the grudge. don’t let these people live rent free in your head. 99,9 % of the time, the only person a grudge affects is the person holding on to it. if they hurt you before, why let them keep doing it year after year in your mind? it’s not worth it but it takes heart effort to stop it. you can muster that heart power to forgive them is a way of looking out yourself. it’s one thing you can be totally selfish about.

you change for one of two reasons, ‘you learn enough to want to’ or ‘you’ve been hurt enough you have to’.

i’ve made mistakes in my life. i’ve let people get advantage of me, and i accepted way less than i deserve. but, i’ve learned from my bad choices and even though there are some things i can never get back and people who will never be sorry. i’ll know better next time and i won’t settle for anything less than i deserve

i believe that everything happens for a reason. people change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them. when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

for all the tears i cried, for all the sacrifice, for all the drama. cuz in the end it made me stronger, so trust me i’ll be fine. i’ll survive. and i want you to know: that you were the one that broke my heart, but i won’t fall apart. no, i’m so moving on. you were the one made me strong, you made me stand up on my own with every cruel intention you helped me find my independence. it’s all because of you that i have the strength i do to turn my pain to passion instead of crashing.
