“i know that right now you want to run to them
but closed arms will not hold you
and careless hearts will not heal you”

“you are not a second choice they didn’t choose you not because you are not worthy but because they weren’t built to love you i know their arms feel like they were supposed to carry you but their lack of strength is not a testimony of the weight of your soul but rather the weakness of theirs you are not too much”

“If you're like me
you struggle with walking away from situations
that aren't healthy for you
If you're like me
it is hard to see the line between I care for you and I will put your needs before mine until my feet are blistered from racing to catch you every time you fall
If you're like me
then listen
Walking away from situations that are hurting you does not mean that you are heartless
It means that you have outgrown the shoes you've been using to chase unreciprocated love
It means that you are learning to value yourself
You have not lost your capacity to love
You are discovering how to love you.”
