I consider myself one of the luckiest girls out there.
I have some of the greatest friends out there & have had some really great memories with some very wonderful people.
Hearts break, but I've realized - nothing breaks that can't be fixed. It just takes time and rehabilitation.
Until an alcoholic or druggy admits they have a problem, they cannot make progress.
Until we accept heart break for what it is, we cannot heal.
They don't call progress, progress for no reason, or healing, healing for the hell of it.
Both of these things require time, but eventually they're ok again.
If you woke up in the morning, all better, it'd be a miracle.
No one made a rule book to healing a broken heart, only suggestions.
I've heard and frankly despised the quote, "If you love someone, let them go." I figured that made no sense!? If you loved someone, why would you let them go?
I understand now. And I don't think its a very easy thing to explain until you feel it yourself. But I'll try to explain..
It's fair. Relationships should be based on a 200% grading. 100% sureness from both people.
Love is understanding, if someone needs time away or apart, be merciful.
It will hurt and sting, but the minute you become understanding, life seems a whole lot easier.
It's so diffucult to listen to people say, maybe it's not meant to be.
You don't have to convince yourself it is, or isn't. You just have to be open to both ideas.
Some people break up and never get back together. Some people break up a million times and end up getting married. No relationship is the same.
You may be in the same boat as someone, but that doesn't mean you have the same sailing tactics.
I also hated the phrase, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened". For so long, I had the hardest time with this. Slowly it's growing on me. If good things always lasted, we'd never grow up, we'd never change, we'd never learn.
When times are tough, its hard to look back and think of how perfect things used to be. But eventually, we look back on the hard times, sitting on the good times, wondering if things would ever be this good if the bad hadn't happened.
Nothing in life is permanent. Things change. Be hopeful.
Break ups don't necessarily mean things are over. Sometimes we just need a break.
Think about sports, coaches give the team a break because without them, they couldn't "go hard" forever. It's a chance to catch our breath, rebuild our endurance.
A good friend once told me, "I know what I had with her was real love, but its over, so I know whoever I'm supposed to be with, it'll be that much better."
If someone doesn't want to be with you, someone else does.
It takes a long time to walk away from love, and even longer to embrace new love.
The greatest love is when you realize you don't need them in your life, you just want them there.
You really don't know what you have til' its gone, so if you get it back make sure you realize what you have. Because eventually, it may not come back.
They say when one door closes, another one opens. Well I think if we close the door, we should just leave it unlocked; live our lives, but welcome someone back if they show up again.
I don't know what should happen, I only know what I want to happen.
I know what I want to happen, but I don't know what will happen.
One day at a time.
