Good sex, good vibes.
“Being with you made me feel like I was losing my mind, but your absence made me lose myself.”— Things I realized when I lost you, part VII
To be honest, I don’t completely know what I want. But I do know what I don’t want; I don’t want to sit here and wait for you to decide whether or not I’m enough for you.
Poetry At Most
I’ve put a lot into this, so I’m not going to leave just yet. But I’m not fighting for it anymore. If we drown, it’s because you pulled us under.

14 things I learned after a toxic relationship:
1. Sometimes you just need to be alone no matter how lonely you get..
2. When you look back you’ll remember that it wasn’t all bad, and this will fuck you up. You have to remember everything that was bad too, the bad is just as important as the good. Do not get confused.
3. Your heart will ache and break. You will miss them. Do not call. Do not message them. Leave them blocked, trust me.
4. Delete all of your pictures. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. It will be hard, and you will hesitate, you may even cry, but delete them. They’re just empty memories.
5. Once a liar, always a liar.
6. Take care of yourself first. Be selfish. Surround yourself with everything that makes you happy- friends, books, naps. It doesn’t matter. You need to love yourself and be the happiest you can be first.
7. Don’t message their friends asking how they are. Remember, they probably don’t care how you’re doing. It’ll just leave you with a bigger pit in your stomach.
8. DO NOT FIND A REBOUND. Let yourself be broken for a while. Reconstruct yourself. You need it. Do not get under someone to get over someone else.
9. If you have any of their things at this point, burn them. Seriously, it’s worth it. (And it feels great!!)
10. Let go. This is the most important. You have to be strong enough to move on and live your life and let go. Don’t reminisce on what could’ve been or should’ve been. Don’t think back and blame yourself for their mistakes. Let it go, it’s their loss.
11. Spread your curtains open and crack your window- nature is the best antidepressant.
12. Wash. Your. Sheets. Get rid of every energy, negative or positive that belonged to your relationship. Get rid of their touch and their scent, you don’t need it anymore.
13. Open up. Don’t let your thoughts and emotions bottle up. Write them down, talk to a friend, scream it at the top of a mountain, but never let it sink so far inside you that you’re too scared to speak.
14. Remind yourself that your happiness is coming. You will find the one, even if you think there is no hope. Just wait. Be patient.
After getting out of a toxic, abusive, manipulative, or what have you, kind of relationship, friendship, etc,
It’s okay to miss them
It’s okay to miss what you had
It’s okay to wish it didn’t happen that way
It’s okay to to be upset about how they treated you
Ita okay to be upset about it being over
It’s okay to be angry about how they treated you
It’s okay to have feelings about the situation and even about them still.
It’s okay to cry about it even though it’s over, or cry about it even because it’s over.
You can cry, you can get mad, you can express your emotions.
It’s okay.
But it’s not okay to go back to them. It’s not okay to apologize to them for how they treated you. It’s not okay to hurt other people because of how they hurt you. And it’s not okay to hurt yourself.
Please please please I know that you might still be hurting from them and from what they did and becuase it’s over, but the hurt won’t last forever. You’ll heal and you’ll be better.
They don’t deserve you.
You deserve better. You deserve good things. You deserve healthy love and healthy friendships and healthy activities.
I hope moving on, even if it’s painful, comes to you soon. I hope you’ll start to feel better soon. I hope you feel like you can go on, soon. <3
I might have ended it, but he left me first. He might not have used his words, his actions were enough. I had to leave. It was a matter of self respect.
But I really didn’t wanna leave, I was forced to.
I know you think
Your life is over
Because
You will never
Love someone
Like that
AgainYou won’t
But one day
You will meet someone
And they will be different
But you will love them
Differently
Yet you will love them
So much
That you will feel
Like everything
Finally makes sense
AgainAnd they will make
Everything
Fall into
The right placesAnd the ache of your heart
Will quiet down
For goodAnd you will be happy again
I can promise
“We could’ve worked,“ she said quietly. “I know,” he replied. “We could’ve made it. We could’ve done it, I loved you. I loved you so much.”— A.M.// but we didn’t work out and that’s okay. (via tullipsink)
