I feel like I’m waiting for something that isn’t going to happen.

When you’re finally able to say “yes, I still miss him but I don’t want him to come back”, that’s how you know you’re healing. Even if it still hurts sometimes.

Never waste your time trying to explain yourself to people who are committed to misunderstanding you.

The truth is that we don't mature with years, mature with damage.

It’s important that we share our experiences with other people. Your story will heal you, and your story will heal somebody else. When you tell your story you free yourself, and you give other people permission to acknowledge their story as well.

Rules for a Happy Life🌙

1. Focus on the positive, not the negative.

2. Live your life one day at a time.

3. Don’t be afraid to say “I love you”.

4. Be someone who gives to, and who nurtures, others.

5. Look for the good in everything and everyone.

6. Prioritise your time, and do what matters first.

7. Don’t sweat the small stuff, or let stupid things upset you.

8. Set healthy boundaries in relationships.

9. Keep on dreaming, and invest in your dreams.

10. Let go of worry and anxiety.

Sometimes people exist just for you to have a good time with and then move on from. And once you can accept that, it makes everything a lot easier, because a lot of happiness stems from managing expectations.

The reason we get hurt so much is because we have a good time with someone and then we obsess- waiting for them to text us, wanting to see them again, stalking them, picturing our life with them- and then when we find out they don’t want exactly what we do, we’re crushed.

But really, they don’t owe us a future or anything at all, they don’t even owe us a text the next day. And I’ve come to accept that sometimes a good time can just be a good time, without the promise of a future, and that’s fine.
