The next time someone reaches out to you, whether it is the first time or for what you feel is the hundredth time, take a moment and think about how they’re feeling, how you would feel if it was happening to you. Take a moment to just empathize, relate and quite simply, listen.
There’s a difference between arguing with love, arguing about the argument, about what caused the rift and arguing with malice and venom, arguing in a way which digs into each other, pulls each other apart, unpicks old wounds and pours salt into them.
You deserve the kind of love that doesn’t walk away from fights, a love that will lay awake with you until sunrise trying to fix whatever got a little broken. You deserve someone who will never see an argument as him vs. you, but both of you vs. the problem, someone who doesn’t use your past mistakes in the present, someone whose only desire is to be moving forward, always.
You deserve someone who makes you feel as if you are worth every problem you might face because even the most magical of relationships can be rocky at times. Someone who sees the challenges you may face as simply ways to discover more about each other and grow.
Because love doesn’t wait for time. Because clocks don’t reset. Because an hour lost is one you never get back. Because you should not have to see someone’s face in a photograph and tell yourself and your friends that they were the ‘one who got away’.
Date someone who doesn’t confuse you. Someone who doesn’t send you mixed messages, someone who remains as keen on date six, as they were on date one- someone who doesn’t only pursue you when they are desperate to discover the way your body curves beneath your clothes and the way a moan escapes your lips as their weight presses against you.
I want to get lost with you, in you. I want to find myself with you. I want to stain every city with our love; I want to steal countries from your heart so they can only ever belong to us. I want to remember how alive and in love and insanely happy we were. I want to remember how my heart raced like the wind, how every morning I turned to look at you when waking in a new city, knowing it couldn’t get much better than this. I want to disappear from you. I want the world to swallow us up.

There’s a difference between wanting to fix what got a little broken and simply wanting to break each other, just to win the fight. There’s a difference between being a team and living on opposite sides.
There’s a difference between a touch that feels like fireworks coursing through your veins and a touch which makes you cringe, feel on edge, want to hide inside yourself.
There is a difference between staying because you cannot imagine a life without him and staying because you worry about what will happen to him after. Because despite the pain he’s caused you, you still care.
Find someone just as eager to learn the way your mind drifts to faraway places and the books which keep you up at night.
Time does not stop those souls who were made for each other.
Find someone who will never make you ask for help or support or just a hand to hold because they are there, always. Because they understand. Because they love you.
Walking away from something, whether it’s a person or a place or a feeling, doesn’t mean it won’t try to come back. The past doesn’t like to be easily forgotten—toxic people hate the idea of you untangling yourself from their web and finding happiness, feelings linger long after you decide to move on, but when they come knocking, don’t let them back in.
Find someone who doesn’t treat you like a sprint, but a marathon, someone who knows what you are worth so much more than a fling or a distraction, someone who wants to understand all of your layers, someone who wants to fall in love with your flaws.
But Honey, believe me when I tell you, there are wonderful men out there; I’ve seen them. The kind of men who will value you, whose only concern is your happiness. These men will look at you like you are magical. Like you possess the secrets to the world.
Because love doesn’t wait for time. Because clocks don’t reset. Because an hour lost is one you never get back. Because you should not have to see someone’s face in a photograph and tell yourself and your friends that they were the ‘one who got away.
Date someone who doesn’t cool off after you’ve slept together; someone who doesn’t make you feel like that’s all they ever wanted you for. Someone who doesn’t make you question the worth of your body, someone who doesn’t make you find fault in your beauty, someone who doesn’t pick away at insecurities you already have.
I’ll know that our chapters lived on separate pages for a while but the ink was always pressed together, was always permanent, that in the end we’d come back together.
I want to chase you through unknown cities and fall asleep in the back of a pick-up truck, our bodies tangled together, your hand lost in my hair, and nothing but the stars to keep us company.
I want to fall asleep on your shoulder as you press your nose into my ruffled hair and watch the clouds dance beside us outside the airplane window. I want to feel weightless with you in the sky.
Let’s leave. Let’s run away from here, from all of the things that keep us from just being together. From losing time to the feel of our skin pressed together and learning every curve to each other’s lips. Our time on this earth is too short and our love too much for this lifetime. Let’s go, my love. Run away with me.
Today I will not count the days till I see you next, I will not imagine the ways I could get to you, I will not curse the miles and hours between us. I will not curse myself for making this decision, for choosing my dreams, for knowing we’ll be okay. Today I will trust our love, I will trust that what we have is more than this.
Sometimes healing means going back home. It means leaving the city you spent so much of your twenties in. It means leaving behind friends and moving back into your tiny teenage bedroom and learning how to live with your family again.
The truth is, love doesn’t worry so much about time. Love doesn’t stop being love because things are complicated. Feelings don’t stop burning inside you like fireworks just because you both have other priorities, or your lives are a little messy. That intense need to be beside each other doesn’t just grow to a dull ache because it might be hard work.
Love is not confined to now, to yesterday, to one day maybe in the future when it’ll be easier. Love does not even wait for one relationship to end before it sets in. Love does not know bounds or limits or imaginary dates when things might work out.
Real love doesn’t let people disappear; it doesn’t let the unfortunate timing of the universe stop two people from ending up together. Because people always find their way in the end, people who are meant for each other, will ride through storms and packed out tubes and delayed flights and every single obstacle put in their way, to be together.
Find someone who doesn’t start taking longer to reply to your text messages, someone who begins to leave you on reading, someone who claims they’re suddenly “busy” when last week they were lighting up your phone.
Find someone who doesn’t stop sending you ‘Goodnight’ texts or ‘Good Morning’ texts when those were the things that added some brightness to your day.
Find someone who doesn’t make you lie awake at night wondering where in the hell it all went wrong and what you could have done to stop it.
Find someone who doesn’t make you blame yourself for their shitty treatment of you, find someone who knows they’re lucky you’re even interested in them, someone who knows a good thing when they almost have it.
You deserve the kind of love that does not build fences around your heart but pulls them down. The kind of love that makes you feel as if you can do anything, be anyone, have whatever you want. The kind of love that will cherish your differences, that will celebrate your flaws, that will feel challenged and excited by you.
Connections grow through relatability and mutual experiences, through talking and listening, through reciprocation. It’s so much more meaningful to share experiences with someone who is having a difficult time – to show them it’s happened to you too and you know it sucks, you know it’s difficult, you know how they’re feeling right now. And even if you don’t, if you can’t relate, you can listen.
Date someone who doesn’t make you feel stupid for calling them out on their behavior, someone who makes you feel even more vulnerable for being vulnerable, someone who doesn’t claim you’re being needy and pushing them into something they so badly wanted only last week, someone who doesn’t make you feel desperate and irrational and unreasonable for reading into the thousands of signs they were dishing out, someone who called you ‘girlfriend material’ but now makes you feel like a one night stand or a temporary fix.
Date someone who’s big enough to tell you when they aren’t interested in more, when their heart isn’t in it, someone who doesn’t want to lead you on and keep you on the back-burner just in case they don’t find someone else.
Date someone who doesn’t make you lose yourself in trying to keep them, someone who doesn’t make you feel you need to send risqué photos so they realize what they’ve got, someone who doesn’t make you feel cheap when they don’t respond the way you want them to, someone who doesn’t make you hate yourself for thinking a photo could change their mind.
Date someone who is consistent, not only in how they feel but in how they treat you, date someone who knows what it isn’t just to date one which matters, its every single date after that.
Date someone who understands that communication is key and in this modern world, texting is sometimes all we have to bridge a gap, to keep things moving, to make us feel wanted.
Date someone who knows what they want, someone who makes you feel special- every day, someone who can see a beautiful, magical thing when it’s in front of them. Someone who isn’t afraid of what you can offer, someone who is ready to be loved in ways they never thought possible.
Date someone who is worthy of you because you should not have to convince someone of your worth, because anyone is lucky to be wanted by you because if he really is the one, he will continue to pursue you for the rest of his life.
When someone is feeling disappointed, anxious, upset or stressed for whatever the reason might be, all they really want is for someone to listen and validate what they’re feeling – nothing more, nothing less.
There are a time and a place for positivity but when someone is struggling, it is the last thing they want to hear. It’s a form of unintentional gaslighting, – it is denying someone their reality, bombarding them with a harsh lecture on how things aren’t as bad as they might think. It is making them doubt themselves- their experiences, their feelings and their responses to the world around them.
Sometimes you have to make decisions that make you feel as if you’re going backward. Sometimes, the most difficult part of starting again is the first step, that leap of faith, that horrible decision which makes you want to just stay put, to be miserable, to stay in a life that is unhappy because, in some twisted way, it feels better than failure.
Starting again can often come with setbacks. Plans might fall apart, your best attempts might fail, and that voice in your head might tell you to quit right then and go back home. It might tell you you’re not cut out for it, that this was a stupid idea. That you’re not meant for more than the life you left. But don’t give into it.
Starting again is never a smooth process. There’s always going to be bumps in the road, but that just means you’re on a path set to challenge you and push you. Don’t let the fear that you’re about to fail to make you give up. Ride out the waves of uncertainty and trust that everything that is meant to work itself out in the end.
No matter how convincing they might be about having changed, that things will be better, that hanging on is the right thing to do, keep the door locked. You closed it for a reason, and while it might be tempting to resort to life or a person or a feeling that you are familiar with, you know deep down it will only revert back to how it was before.
The past is great at telling you what you want to hear, but it rarely follows through. Remind yourself of all the reasons you left and of all the reasons you are here right now, trying to make a better life for yourself.
The most important thing I learned was that you are capable of absolutely anything that sets your heart on fire. You are so much more than your fear than the voice that tells you you won’t make it, than the people who doubt you or look at you like you’re crazy for taking a leap into the unknown.
The thing that terrifies you—the complete overhaul of your life, the big move, the big break, the breakup, the breakdown, the blocking of numbers, of people, of saying goodbye when it feels like the hardest thing in the world—is usually the thing which will bring you the most peace, even if at first it feels like shedding a second skin.
You are capable of anything you set your mind to, and that includes starting again, choosing yourself, and chasing after a life that brings you joy.
You don’t have to feel embarrassed or ashamed for being hurt by someone constantly disrespecting you and picking away at you
You don’t have to apologize for being scared to let someone in again. You don’t have to apologize for not wanting to jump into a new relationship or the dating scene for as long as it takes for your heart to heal.
Just Because they don’t hit you doesn’t mean they aren’t abusive, because not all bruises are physical, but they hurt just as much.
You don’t have to apologize for realizing your worth. For taking your time to piece yourself back together, in whatever way you choose. Because that is what you deserve.
There’s a difference between staying after a fight because you know it was just a one-off and knowing that you’ll be okay, that you’ll forgive and forget, and staying because you have nowhere else to go.
There’s a difference between choosing them, even when they don’t choose you, and choosing happiness, choosing adventure, choosing a love which does not exhaust you and disappoint you and break you, but one which lifts you up.
There’s A Difference Between Not Giving Up And Being Reckless with your heart.
Your Partner Isn’t Meant To Complete You. Your partner is only meant to be an extension of you, not the missing piece. Your partner should bring happiness and joy to your life, not be the only person providing it.
Change can feel lonely. Starting again can feel like stepping into complete darkness with no direction, but your friends will be the light leading you. Let them. Because your friends will always have your best interests at heart; if you have wonderful friends, you have everything.
You deserve the kind of love that is written about, that movies are made about. It just needs to feel like magic in your heart, it needs to make you feel like you have a secret which no one else knows about. It needs to make you feel invincible. It needs to be extraordinary simply in the way your head spins and your heart flutters, in how you feel absolute calm throughout your entire body.
You shouldn’t sacrifice your friendships for your partner. Whilst obviously, you’ll spend a lot of time together, there should be other people you enjoy spending time with. There should be parts of you that you give to your friends and family which you perhaps wouldn’t give to your partner.
“Me time” is important and in relationships, it’s so easy to stop thinking about what you need and want, and to think of yourselves a whole. If having a hot bubble bath and a glass of wine after a hard day is what relaxes you then do that. You don’t have to sit and talk it out with them, you’re allowed to do make time for what is right for you.
You’re Going To Argue But You Shouldn’t Fear Breaking Up. Everyone argues, everyone. And you’re going to fall out with your partner, even if it’s just over whose turn it is to do the laundry. A dumb argument isn’t the end of the relationship and you should both be able to get pissed at each other without fearing it might be.
As long as there’s open communication at all times, it’s okay to be honest about the fact other people are just as sexy as your partner. There shouldn’t be an expectation that you only find each other attractive once you become official.
Starting again is making sacrifices for the greater good; it is trusting that starting again is a process. It is not a quick fix. It is believing that everything will work out in the end and knowing that sometimes things will feel more difficult before they feel easier.
Comfort Is Not A Reason To Stay In A Shitty Relationship. Comfort is warm and safe, and a trap. Comfort can make us lose touch with what we really desire and deserve. Sure, comfort means coming home to the same familiar house, with the same familiar routine, sleeping in the same familiar bed with the same familiar body beside you. But if you’re coming home and choosing your onesie and a milky drink and Netflix over a conversation, that isn’t comfortable, it’s a rut. It’s settling.
You deserve someone who wants to listen to every detail of your day, even the mundane parts, even the parts when you were not your best self and snapped at a colleague because you were exhausted and stressed. And you deserve someone who isn’t going to tell you what you should have done better, what they would have done; you just deserve to be heard.
You are allowed to turn your phone off, you’re allowed to not reply until tomorrow or whenever you feel up to it. You do not have to talk about every little thing you are feeling, you are allowed to just be on your own and try to untangle your thoughts by yourself.
If you are unhappy in your relationship or any other part of your life then you can change it, but only if you actually put your words and thoughts into action. Stop letting fear paralyze you. Nothing will change if you don’t change it.
Love is the one great thing that absolutely anyone can experience, no matter how poor or rich you are, no matter how much of a success you deem yourself, no matter your background or how attractive you believe yourself to be.
Change is terrifying, and the lead up to making those changes is often a period of doubt, second-guessing, and wanting to stay in the familiar, even if it isn’t a place of happiness. Your friends will be your anchor during this time, keeping you grounded and reminding you of why you need to go wherever it is your heart is pulling you towards.
Love should feel like flying, like dancing barefoot in a downpour without a care in the world, it should feel like hot chocolate after walking home in a snowstorm, it should be that feeling of returning home. Of absolutely certainty, security and contentment.
You deserve the kind of love that makes it okay for everything else in your world to be a little off-balance, a little plain, a little mediocre. The kind of love that will keep you steady when you feel as if everything is falling apart. You deserve the kind of love that keeps you grounded when you’re having a bad day. The kind of love you can rely on when you feel as if everything else is uncertain.
Find someone who will listen to you rant about your annoying colleagues or the fact your friend has let you down once again, but who knows your heart is still golden, and today is just a little difficult. Find someone who will not judge you.
Find someone who loves every version of you; who knows that sometimes life is too much and on those days, you’ll be blue and quiet and irritable. Find someone who will hold your hand a little tighter on those days and ride them out with you.
