She Was The Storm

by Cherie Avritt

just because someone once hurt you doesn’t mean that everyone who comes after them also will.

it’s not easy to bury the remnants of my love for you but i must i must, for my own good.

never give up you have come too far and fought too hard to give up now

your heart speaks to mine in such a beautiful way

never be afraid to cut toxic people out of your life for the sake of your own happiness

do not forget to take your own advice so often we can see what others need but are so blind when it comes to ourselves

do not resent yourself for how slowly you are healing it takes time and you need to remember that.

you can’t convince people to give you the love you deserve

every word of love and compassion you utter makes a difference in others’ lives

don’t waste “i love you’s” on people who don’t understand what that truly means
