There comes a point in life where you just want better for yourself. A better life, better people, better energies, better routine, better faith, better health, better mental progression.
“i think back to all of the times that i cried my eyes out because i was heartbroken - broken trust, a failed relationship, a lost friendship - and yea, i feel sadness… but never regret. i do not regret putting my all into every single thing that i do, especially relationships. because one day, im going to meet someone that does the exact same thing and nothing will ever be the same”— do not regret the past
It felt good to watch him slip out of my mind - out of my life, really. Someone I had once begged to stay, I now couldn’t wait to see go. That’s what happens when you release your grip on people that no matter how much you love, bring you down. It’s a decision to let go, to move on, to let yourself be happy.
“People walk into one another’s lives for a reason. It’s not always the one you hope, but that doesn’t lessen the experience. That best friend that you drifted away from, you helped her realize that she didn’t need to live under her parent’s thumb because she’s strong enough to be independent. That almost-boyfriend you had, he made you realize that you have so much value and that you deserve so much more than what you’ve been asking for. That person that betrayed you, you taught them that causing wounds in others just deepens the wounds in themselves rather than heal them- and they taught you that a bad choice does not mean a bad person. Sometimes people come into your life to be a sword or a shield. They are there to help fight a battle and once that battle is over, they are no longer necessary. So never be sad about the people no longer in your life- you served your purpose and that battle is over. Look back and smile instead.”— [s.bucks]
