I think you know you’re really over a person when you don’t wish anything bad upon them. You’re not filled with anger anymore, and you don’t want revenge. You just genuinely hope they’re happy.
Even if they did you wrong. Even if they never checked on you.
I really hope the people I’ve loved are getting home safely every night. But I’m not up all night wondering whether they did or not anymore.
“There are better days ahead for those who have put bitter days behind.”

“I love your long hair you said. So I chopped it off. I love your legs you said So I covered them up I love your slender fingers you said. So I curled them up into fists. I can hear your heart beating you said. So I held my breath”

“We cannot simply sit and stare at our wounds forever. We must stand up and move on to the next action.”
— Haruki Murakami, 1Q84
“I’ve been in love before, it’s like a narcotic. At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day you want more. You’re not addicted yet, but you like the sensation, and you think you can still control things.You think about the person you love for two minutes then forget them for three hours. But then you get used to that person, and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If he’s not there, you feel like an addict who can’t get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need, you’re willing to do anything for love.”
— Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept
I can care about you and still cut you off and I can miss you and never talk to you again.
Because one day, you will wake up in the middle of the night and wonder what could have been. Because you will be lying there, with a life you settled for, while I’m out living mine. Thank you.
“And when you see me again, I hope your heart hurts. I hope you see a lost future and know that there is no turning back the clocks, there is no second chance.”
— I know I do.
“So what if he doesn’t love you anymore. You didn’t have him in your life once before and you were fine. So you’ll be fine without him again. All you need to do now is show him that it was his loss, not yours.”

“I think once you move on, you start to see the person as less and you thought they where. They aren’t a hurricane of heart break or a glorious ocean any more. Their eyes don’t remind you of chocolate or the sky, and their presence doesn’t make your heart skip an extra beat. They just become a person who loved you a little less than you loved them.”

Sometimes I hate the ways this world works
How we all end up hurting the person who loves us the most .
How from all the emotions love has turned into the most manipulative one and trust into the most doubted one.
How the quiet ones are always judged .
How the talkative ones are always perceived as fake, childish or too happy for their own good.
How the pain and hurt are so common and smiles are so fake and rare.
How we have to pretend that we don’t care about our heart by turning so cold towards emotions that we actually end up killing it.
How nights are no longer for sleeping but crying alone hiding away from everyone.
How we are no more excited for new days because all we have to do is behave like a machine and wear the mask that people love and deep down we hate.
How passions are turning into side hobbies and study is not about knowledge but about jobs and money.
How people are scary than ghosts and monster don’t hide under the beds but inside us.
How our eyes are no longer readable and our lips have nothing to do with saying of our soul and heart.
How death seems easy to most of us than life.
How we all know all these and many more things like this but we do not care because it’s not the way our world works
How this world is ‘our’ and how 'we’ all have created all these ways but each and every one of us suffers because of one and many of these ways.

Isn’t it weird how you can actually feel the pain in your chest and stomach when something really hurts your feelings
“You were a dream. Then a reality. Now a memory.”
— Iain Thomas, The City Rises and Falls (via amortizing)
“The kindest thing I ever did for myself in terms of love was letting it go when it no longer fought for me knowing that love shouldn’t be something I must set myself on fire for just to keep hold of it—for that’s not passion—that’s crap.”
— Juansen Dizon, Self-Respect
“If he chooses not to hold you, remind yourself you do not need his arms. Not when you have two of your own. Hold yourself, girl. Remind yourself that the love you have to give is more nurturing than he can ever give you, and you deserve that love, a far more wholesome love than his.”
— Nikita Gill
