....I wasn't being mean or anything. I wasn't scaring her at that point. I was trying, you know, to see like a normal person.

Love doesn’t really end with fights, it ends with silence. Fights still mean there’s care, there’s effort, there’s something to save. But silence means giving up. When two people stop talking, everything slowly fades, the connection, the warmth, the understanding. Not communicating with someone you love leaves a wound that never fully heals. You move on, but a part of you always remembers how silence replaced words, and how love turned into distance without saying a thing.

The people meant for you will feel like rest, not effort. What you carry quietly is often the map someone else needs to find their way.

Boundaries are the lines we draw around our time, energy and emotions to protect our wellbeing. They are not walls built to shut others out, but fences with gates that can open and close. ... Many people struggle with boundaries because they equate them with selfishness or conflict. ... Yet saying yes when you mean no breeds resentment, which is far more toxic than an honest refusal

Now I don’t let betrayal close my heart. Yes, it hurts deeply when someone breaks your trust, but that doesn’t mean everyone will do the same. I have learned to be careful, but not cold, because people are different..some hurt and some heal. I take my time to recover, to surround myself with those who bring peace and happiness. I have learned to forgive, not for them, but for my own peace, because holding on only hurts me more.

10 Things That Never Happened
Avg Rating: --Rate This Quote
Relationships never provide you with everything. They provide you with some things. [...] The rest you have to look for elsewhere. It's only in the movies that you find someone who gives you all of those things. But this isn't the movies. In the real world, you have to identify which three qualities you want to spend the rest of your life with, and then you look for those qualities in another person. That's real life. [...] If you keep trying to find everything, you'll wind up with nothing.

No matter how terrible an individual may behave, always treat them with a basic level of respect and dignity. Not only would it increase your chance of getting your message across, but it would also make them more likely to react more favorably.

I loved her once, you know. I still do, as the mother of my child. But when someone's ill, and you become a carer, it can kill it dead, even if you don't want it to.

I have spent years trying to make others feel special…I did everything to be enough for them, to be liked by them, to be seen by them, to be loved back by them, but somewhere in thinking too much about them, I forgot to think about myself.
