I Was Never Broken

by Sara Sheehan

Welcome to my heart, the place nothing makes sense, yet never seems to be wrong.

I’m at war with my own heart, and I try hard to understand why it’s so hard to forget how badly I’ve hurt.

Thinking about everything and understanding every situation doesn’t come out to be the best solution.

I never wanted to admit that I was the best at hiding my feelings.

The happiness of being alone is so real.

You can love in silence. You can love with words. Most importantly, actions. When you love something, you’re going to want everyone to know.

I find it funny how people never understand your happiness, yet when you’re sad, they want you happy.

How do I get blamed for loving more than I should?

IF YOU WERE ME, MAYBE YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND All I wanted was closure; I was in until it was over.

I TELL MYSELF I’M NEVER GOOD ENOUGH, OR I’M JUST TOO MUCH

Some people you meet, are a part of your road to self-discovery. Don’t let everyone have a hold over your heart.

Toxic people are dangerous. You’ll love them with all your heart. Without knowing, your heart is breaking because of them.

REMEMBER: If the love can’t be reciprocated, The love isn’t there at all.

I thought loving and caring for someone unconditionally was required; I didn’t realize it was a way to be taken for granted. All I ever was used for was someone else’s advantage.

I realized we don’t fall in love with people always; we fall in love with the idea.

I believe happiness is within; if you can’t find it within yourself, you’ll never find it within anyone else. I believe love has no limits, and to love someone takes a lot.

There’s no halfway when it comes to love; you’re either in or never were.

Don’t be afraid to feel your emotions; if you don’t, they’ll end up your worst enemy.

IN CASE YOU FORGOT: You deserve to love yourself with the same kind of love, you give to everyone else.

Stop allowing toxic people To fill you with poison And calling it “love”

A LETTER TO AN OLD FRIEND I love you. I always will. The imprint you left on my heart will forever be deep. I won’t ever forget the love you brought to my soul.

I cry these tears that words can’t express. Tears of anger. Tears of depression. Tears of hope. Mostly, tears of confusion. Confused about why I’m not as happy as I should be.

If I like you, You’ll know. I don’t vibe with everyone. It’s hard for me to make friends. I’m so distant. If I enjoy your company, or just you in general… you mean something; not everyone gets that side of me.

Be strong enough, to let go of unwanted company. Stop letting people hang around you, Because you “love” them… If the love isn’t reciprocated, It’s not worth your love. Don’t use love as an excuse to keep someone around, that will never fit or make sense.

You can’t expect to grow while holding onto what’s holding you back from your growth. Sometimes you must choose, always be lost loving them, or let them go and love you.

You are as beautiful as the sun during the day and as comforting like the moon at night. Your beauty always shines brighter than the stars.

I put up with loving the worst kinds of hearts back then. I put up with friends who I’ll always love but won’t be a friend to again. It’s life. I learned to grow and become someone I love to be. Comfortably, enough not to care… doing what everyone else is doing.

People can only see what you choose to show, what you choose to tell. What you hold inside you, what you have burdened you, only you, will know exactly how you feel.

Finding yourself is the biggest struggle; loving yourself is incredibly hard. Yet loving others, saving others, being the one of the need is so easy… we put out all into someone else in hopes to fill the void we long to find in ourselves.
