“Hiding Your Hurt Only Intensifies It. Problems Grow In The Dark And Only Become Bigger And Bigger,

“If pain must come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible.”

— Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

“No one is too good for you. It all depends on the kind of attraction. You can be desired for your looks, status, or the size of your bank account, but when you are desired for you— your heart, your soul, the way your mind works, nothing else matters. Spiritual connection surpasses all else.“”

“If it gets awkward, let it be awkward. That awkwardness is something they created. You don’t owe anyone a performance of being okay when you are not feeling okay so that they can feel better about themselves.”

— Jennifer Peepas

You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life.

It doesn’t matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance -

you don’t have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small.

It’s one thing if a person owns up to their behaviour and makes an effort to change. But

if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and “continues” to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.

You hold yourself so well, people would never suspect you're going through hell.
