It Is What It Is

““ Psychology says, being sad with the right people is better than being happy with the wrong ones. ””

“Ever watch somebody’s love for you fade? The way they look at you changes over time & one day before you know it ur just somebody to them.”

“It’s my experience that people are a lot more sympathetic if they can see you hurting.”

“loving you was like setting myself on fire, day after day, night after night, all for someone who kept close simply to stay warm. loving myself was like dousing my body in rosewater, gentle relief from burns that did not deserve a place on my skin.”

“whether they were right for you or wrong for you, it will always hurt when you part ways. the hurt will come in frigid waves, it will crash against your knees till your bones rattle. you will wither in silence, wondering if they still hold safety in their palms. however, all of the missing, all of the hurting, and all of the longing are only pieces of the healing. when those feelings creep up your spine and tug at your skin, know that you did not make a mistake in letting them go. happiness does not exist solely with them. you do not need them to be okay. whether they were right for you or wrong for you, it will always hurt when you part ways. remember: you parted ways for a reason remember: you are healing. you are healing, you are healing. do not look back.”
