“I learned the hard way that I cannot always count on others to respect my feelings - even if I respect theirs. Being a good person doesn’t guarantee that others will be good people. You only have control over yourself and how you choose to be as a person. As for others, you can only choose to accept them or walk away.”

— I Love Quotes

“Life doesn’t always introduce you to the people you want to meet. Sometimes life puts you in touch with the people you need to meet – to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you, and to gradually strengthen you into the person you were meant to become.”
That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don’t expect to get anything back, don’t expect recognition for your efforts, don’t expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.

Are you ever sorry?“ He asked. "For loving you?” She smiled and shook her head. “No. There are so many things to be sorry for, but loving you isn’t one of them.” For some reason, that answer made him even more restless. “What are the things you’re sorry about, then?” He asked after a while. “I’m sorry that I wasn’t quite right for you. That you weren’t quite right for me. That the timing wasn’t quite right for us. We were never lacking in love. It wasn’t ever a question of whether we loved each other enough or not, because if love could fill a whole room - ours would have needed more space. It would have burst out of the windows and banged open doors.” She stopped, and smiled such a sad smile it broke his heart all over again. “You know I loved you so much.” He whispered. She reached out to squeeze his hand and said, “I know, darling. I know. But even the greatest of loves cannot withstand the wars of this world. And no matter how much we loved each other, it wasn’t a war we were supposed to win.

A lot of people think that in order to let go of a person and to move on you have to forget. You have to carefully loosen your grip on the memories, untangle your fingers and slowly forget the colour of their eyes or the lines to their favourite song. You have to act like they never walked alongside you, like they never made your heart beat faster or your chest tighten. You think you have to burn their photos, delete their messages and erase every trace they left behind. But you don’t. You can let go and still remember. You can move on and still keep the memories close to your heart. It’s the way you remember them that’s important. Can you think of them with a smile on your face and accept that there’s no returning or do you give in to the sadness that grips your heart and twists, searching for a way to go back?

Chasing after a guy who’s not interested in you will rip the hell out of your self-respect. Better to face facts now because the longer you put it off, the harder it’ll be.
