Kindle Notes & Highlights
Both sides of me think of you all the time and they miss you whenever you’re not around.
How could you think you are weak when every time you break, you come back stronger than before?
Love hard and love broken people even harder.
But I swear, sometimes I feel the urge to be held, understood, and loved in the sweetest way.
Distance is more than two objects apart. It is the struggle we all go through when the heart and the mind can’t seem to get along.
It hurts . . . of course it does, to watch you, the people we care about go through hell and not having the power to heal them the way we should.
Understand, how pain is the curse that will tear you apart but also, the blessing that will bring us all closer together.
It hurts because you’re up every night thinking why does it hurt so damn much without knowing why.
And lastly, it hurts because feelings matter and you could never run far enough from all the things you feel.
She’s tired of giving the wrong people the right pieces of herself. She looks at the one she loves and silently screams within her own mind. She feels stupid at times, but in all honesty, the only one stupid within this situation is the one too stupid to comprehend her love. Some men are not really men or, simply, they’re not man enough to treat a woman the way she deserves. It’s not your fault that you fell for someone who could say the right things yet fail to act on what they’ve expressed. You’re not weak. Why? Well because you’re strong enough to love even when that love isn’t returned.

you’re just tired of the raging fires blazing through the forest in your heart
It hurts right now, you’re tired of going through the same old shit. Your heart is weary, but you’re still powerful. Strong enough to walk away, strong enough to make it without the person you thought you needed.
we’re not sleeping just to rest we’re closing our eyes just to escape the things that haunt us while we’re awake
There will be nights where you’ll struggle to sleep, you’ll reach for your phone, and your pain will bring you here, to this moment, these words. There will be nights where your soul will long for more and your mind will crave a peace that feels like freedom. There will be nights where you’ll grow weary of being kept awake by the thought of someone who no longer deserves to be on your mind, and in this moment, as you read these words, I hope you find the strength to remove yourself from a relationship with someone who doesn’t deserve to be the reason you can’t sleep, and I hope you realize

tired but wide awake broken yet strong struggling to find peace in a moment of emotional chaos
Chasing love, I’m tired. Wired and awake, restless and weary. My heart can’t take another tumble to the floor. My mind still aches from all this overthinking. It’s overwhelming the way this pursuit of everything I deserve only brings me more of what I don’t want. I’ve been chasing you, and I’m tired.
it’s clear that you don’t love yourself because loving someone who can’t love you is simply a harsh reminder
What if I told you that I was here the whole damn time? Waiting to be seen, eager to hold and love you but you were too busy chasing someone who wasn’t me. Searching for love in a relationship with someone who would rather make you hate yourself. I was here the whole time, but you were distracted, wasting your energy on someone too weak to appreciate you. The person you chose didn’t deserve you. The person you wanted was keeping you from noticing me, and ultimately you missed a real shot at happiness. All these fucking what-ifs . . .
