One thing I started doing a long time ago that changed my relationships is I started making myself speak up when I had nice thoughts. If I’m in line at the grocery store & I notice that the woman in front of me has beautiful eyes, I say something. If my sister walks in the house & I like her eyebrows, I say something. People forget how much little tiny compliments like that can make someone’s whole day. It doesn’t even have to just be compliments. It could be saying “I love you” when you’re thinking it even if it’s at a random time. Sometimes I get up and go over to my mom just to give her a hug out of the blue cause I was thinking about her. I’ll randomly send my friends texts about how I appreciate them whenever I’m thinking it. Little gestures like that mean so much.
You are not weak just because your heart feels so heavy.
I like how sleeping next to someone means more than sex sometimes, the body’s way of saying ‘I trust you to be by my side at my most vulnerable time,’ you have no defenses when you are asleep, you tell no lies.
“The right person at the wrong time” doesn’t exist when you think about her and the impact she has had on your life.
She’s the girl who make you believe in things such as fate and soul mates even. She makes you believe in something bigger than yourself.
The thing she makes you believe in is called love.
Her love is the perfectly imperfect embodiment of the reason why the tide always returns to kiss the shore. Or the reason why the moon is illuminated time after time in the darkness by the sun. They never give up on each other no matter how their paths are separated, they’ll always end up back together, even after all the storms that rage through the skies and the seas.
She made me believe our souls were connected before they fell down to Earth as shooting stars.
That is why there is a gravitational pull, pulling me in her direction.
To throw her away, dismissing her as a wrong time, would be one of your greatest mistakes.
She is a timeless soul because she will live forever within you. Prepare for a burning soul within her presence because you’ll feel her fiercely even after she is long gone.

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.

Tell him yes. Even if you are dying of fear, even if you are sorry later, because whatever you do, you will be sorry all the rest of your life if you say no.

She was the kind of girlfriend God gives you young, so you’ll know loss the rest of your life.

Before you speak, ask yourself: is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence?
