"Loving someone who doesn’t love you back is hell! Don’t ever let anyone convince you that you can be happy with someone who doesn’t love you. And don’t ever love anyone more than he loves you."
— Patrick Seaton, Once and Always by Judith McNaught

I’m sorry I constantly want to talk to you. I’m sorry when you take long to reply, I get sad. I’m sorry if I say things that might piss you off. I’m sorry if I come off as annoying. I’m sorry if you don’t wanna talk to me as much as I wanna talk to you. I’m sorry if I think about you too much and too often. I’m sorry if I say things I don’t really mean. I’m sorry if I tell you about my pointless drama when you don’t really care. I’m sorry if I come off as being clingy, but its just me missing you.

Life is unfair. You put someone first who puts you second. You study your ass off for a final only to get a B in the class when you deserved an A. You give one hundred percent to someone in a relationship when they only give forty. You’re there for your best friend at 3 a.m. when they need it the most and the next day they don’t pick up their phone. You give something your all and sometimes get little to nothing back. You care so much about someone who doesn’t care enough about you to say hi once in a while. You give someone your time and they give you “Sorry, I’m busy”. It seems like you’re giving everyone everything and they’re just walking away with it.

Someday they'll find your small town world
On a big town avenue
Gonna make you like the way they talk
When they're talking to you
Gonna make you break out of your shell
Because they tell you to
Gonna make you like the way they lie
Better than the truth
They'll tell you everything
You wanted someone else to say
They're gonna break your heart
From what I've seen
You're just one more hand me down
Because no one's tried to give you
What you need

He may not see that I’m jealous. He may not feel that I’m hurt. He may not hear my cries. I remember he’s not mine and a huge part of me dies.

When a girl is hurting, she’s going to hurt for quite a while. She’ll rethink the situation over and over again thinking what she could have possibly done to avoid it from happening. She wishes there was a possibility that she could just erase what just happened because right now, she’s left scarred with the thoughts.

A sad thing in life is that sometimes you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that it was never bound to be and you just have to let go.

It’s hard when you don’t know what causes your sadness. But it’s even harder when you know what makes you happy, yet you can’t do anything to have it.

No matter how much you tell yourself you’re over someone, your heart knows the truth.

You’ll never find the right person, if you never let go of the wrong one.

Isn’t it disheartening how everyone seems to spend a day thinking of someone who’s possibly thinking of someone else?

I never want to text anyone first.

Because:

I don’t want to be a bother to you.
I don’t want to feel like I’m annoying you.
I don’t like anticipating for your reply & waiting forever.
I don’t want to be interrupting you if you’re busy.
I don’t want to wake you up.
I don’t want you to think I’m some clingy person.
Because if someone wants to talk to me, they would.

To let go isn’t to forget, not to think about, or ignore. It doesn’t leave feelings of anger, jealousy or regret. Letting go isn’t winning, and it isn’t losing. It’s not about pride, and it’s not about how you appear, it’s not about obsessing or dwelling on the past. Letting go isn’t blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, it doesn’t leave emptiness, hurt or sadness. It’s not giving up or giving in. Letting go isn’t about loss, and it isn’t defeat. To let go of something is to cherish the memories, to overcome and move on. It’s having an open mind and confidence in the future. Letting go is accepting, it’s learning, it’s experiencing. To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that once made you cry, laugh, love and grow. It’s about all that you had and all you still have. Letting go is having the courage to accept change and the strength to keep moving. It’s growing up, realising that a heart can sometimes change and it can also be the most potent remedy. To let go is to open a door, clear a path and set yourself free.

It feels like someone kicked you in the stomach, feels like your heart stopped beating, feels like that dream — you know — the one when you are falling and you want so desperately to wake up before you hit the ground, but it’s all out of your control. You can’t trust anything anymore, no one is who they say they are, your life is changed forever, and the only thing to come out of the whole ugly experience is no one will be able to break your heart like that again.
