If there is unhappiness in you, first you need to acknowledge that it is there. But don’t say “I’m unhappy.” Unhappiness has nothing to do with who you are. Say: “There is unhappiness in me.” Then investigate it. A situation you find yourself in may have something to do with it. Action may be required to change the situation or remove yourself from it. If there is nothing you can do, face what is and say, “Well, right now, this is how it is. I can either accept it, or make myself miserable.” The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.

It’s simple; I’ll say that I don’t care about you, I’ll say that I hate you, I’ll say that you never even cross my mind, when the reality of it all is that I will always care about you, I will always love you and I will always have times where I can’t get you out of my head.

they never told me that falling in love would feel like falling off of a 24-story building if it goes wrong, that you are always the heartbroken, never the heartbreaker, that “i love you” and “im lonely” are more often than not the same thing. they don’t tell you that most nights you won’t sleep, and if you do, you’ll wake up screaming his name, or that you will stop eating, because you think maybe if you lost weight you’d be worthy of his love and attention. they tell you that falling in love is special, and amazing, like nothing else you will ever experience. but how special and amazing is it when im lying on my bedroom floor, numbed by the pain he left in his wake, with blood stained wrists and the effects of alcohol clouding my thoughts? they tell you the first time you fall in love, you won’t ever forget it, and maybe they’re right about that, because it’s been over two years and i still haven’t forgotten the way your hands burned my skin when you touched me.

He listens to you. And without pause it begins to swell inside because this never happens. And you listen to him. But he won’t wake up feeling any differently. He’s never had to work to be heard.

When you left, all I could think about was what I should have said to you. Should I have apologized more? Is there anything I could’ve said to make you stay? I couldn’t stop thinking about you. Your stupid fucking crescent moon smile or the way you could ramble on for hours about the things you loved. This was me breaking, piece by piece. Time passed. All I could think about was what I regretted saying to you. ‘Sorry’ should not have passed my lips a single time. I should have replaced the ‘it’s fine,’ or the ‘if that’s what you want,’ with, ‘you fucked me up, and I won’t forgive you for that.’ I started thinking about your flaws. You were the worst kisser I’d ever met. You could talk the whole night through, but you could never god damn listen to me. This was me putting myself back together, piece by piece. Today is January 9th. I saw a picture of you this morning, and I realized something. I’ve stopped thinking about you. I don’t care what I did or didn’t say. I don’t wonder who you’re with or what you’re doing now. I don’t think about what I miss or what I don’t. I am not upset, I am not angry. You’re gone. I’ve erased you. You are blank. I have nothing left to say to you. This is me, fucking whole again.
