What codependency feels like at first: “You complete me!” or “I will be your hero!” What codependency feels like later on: watching in horror as someone else’s life passes before your eyes; wondering in utter bewilderment where your own life went. The final destination of codependency: rage, emptiness, loneliness, despair. The anthem of the exhausted codependent: “After all I’ve done for you!

Some relationships don’t break you all at once they slowly take away your peace and energy. You start feeling tired, even when nothing big has happened. That’s how you know something is wrong. Love should make you feel calm and safe, not confused and restless. If you always have to explain yourself or fight to be understood, that’s not love, that’s pain. It’s hard to accept, but some people love in ways that hurt. Walking away from that doesn’t make you selfish, it makes you wise because peace is the kind of love you truly deserve.

I don’t get it. Why am I not important to you now? How do people just stop caring like that? One day I was someone you couldn’t stop talking to, and now, it feels like I never even mattered. It’s strange I still think about you, still miss you, but you don’t. You just moved on, quietly, like I was never a part of your story. And I keep asking myself why. What changed? Was I too much? Too honest? Too real? Too less? Or did you just stop needing me? It hurts, not because you left, but because you made it look so easy.

You know, insecure people often put the burden of fixing their pain on others, especially the ones they love. I will be honest, I did this too. I thought someone’s presence could heal what was broken inside me. But I eventually realized that no one can fix what’s broken within you. And depending on others only makes you weaker, emptier, and lost. You slowly forget yourself while trying to hold on to them. So don’t do that. Your insecurities are your responsibility. Learn from them, grow through them, don’t pass them on. Because the moment you depend on someone for your peace, you lose yourself.
By staying close to the people who are your true supporters, you may cut off many relationships that are transactional, abusive or harmful.

By brightening your beliefs and everyday reactions to things, you may make others more inclined to interact with you and see you favorably. This may make them more likely to respect your inputs and help you out, and you may even become more likely to obtain the outcomes or goals you seek.

By honing your presence in each of your social encounters, you may be able to convey to them that their inputs and necessities matter. This may prompt them to open up further and confide more things to you, and you may even receive more favors that can end up improving your own condition.

… As women get older, they become more powerful, more lucid, more sure of what they want. And that can be very challenging for a man.
I have reached a point in life where I no longer feel the need to argue. I have realized that my peace matters more than being right, and I have quietly started choosing calm over conflict.

I'd heard about heartbreak in songs, but holy shit, damn. There should be a name for that feeling...How to exist without this person?...
I remember people always telling me ne there are other fish in the sea, and I said, Yes, that's where they fucking are.

One of the greatest dangers of victimhood is the singling out; all of your attributes and anecdotes assigned blame. In court they'll try to make you believe you are unlike the others, you are different, an exception. You are dirtier, more stupid, more promiscuous. But it's a trick. The assault is never personal, the blaming is.

Sugishita, do you think people can get stronger and grow bigger of they eat nothing but rice? No. That's the same with eating only vegetables. And only meat's not gonna do, either. People have to eat a variety of foods, get a bunch of different nutrients in order to grow bigger and stronger. Right? It's the same with what's inside us, too. You have to meet all kinds of people, take their effects on you and let their influences blend and mix in order to build a new you. That way, your world can grow bigger and stronger, too. [Umemiya]

If you have to fake it or force it to fit your future, it could be fatal and that's not always meaning in the physical.
To accompany the tea is a dizzying array of nuts, dried fruits, crunchy chickpeas, and bright candies, all placed elegantly around a magnificent centerpiece of fresh whole fruit....She's very serious about this eating business, especially as there are just the two of us present, and she's laid out enough snacks to feed an entire elementary school.
