The truth about starting over is that it is the best thing you will ever do. But it will also be the hardest thing.

But like every other time before, your blissful reverie quickly turns sour, things turn dark so fast that you don’t even have time to think, only to feel how hurt you are. 

It’s so easy to get caught up in your own head and believe you’re behind where you’re supposed to be for your age or that a single mistake is the end of the world. 

Don't let this love get discarded for the next hit because you’re mad, too stubborn or can’t let go of something in the past.

And maybe, just maybe, you not being there, was the biggest blessing in disguise.  

And you’ve gotten so close to moving on, but for some reason, something is always off...

Be with someone who would never risk losing you. 

No, dating you was not the end of their liberty; it was the beginning of it. But this is not what they’ll tell people. This is not what they’ll tell themselves.  

The first thing you do when you wake up again is check your phone and read your drunk texts - and then want to quietly bury yourself to death.

You probably think there's something wrong with you.

I don’t need anyone - if I’m with you, it’s because I want to be.
