I had a question asked to me by one of my wonderful supporters I wanted to touch on this week. The question was “how do you fix being broken after a relationship?

Like most teenage girls, when I’m bored I like to read the New York Times. And like most teenage girls, I have a favorite column in the New York Times. I wouldn’t say I read the Modern Love column exclusively, but I read it enough to feel sometimes as if maybe I should broaden my horizons. Yet…
I’ve been dumped with a text message. I’d rather be alone, he told me. He explanaid the reasons because I told him I deserved that, and he agreed to catch up at a restaurant. But I don’t really know if it was the best idea; I lost my self esteem and confidence for a long time since that. The reason to why he dumped me was because he thought we…

Loving me is responsibility for yourself.
I don’t care who started it
Love yourself enough not to put yourself in situations that’ll break you.

When I wrote my goals recently, I decided to come from and to engender my actions with:
Giving , Loving, Appreciation, and Graditide.
Come from giving rather than taking.
Come from love rather than anger or hate.
Yes, we have all been young and naive once.
I will open my eyes
And nothing

There are different types of love.
The variety you describe is certainly a valuable type of love — perhaps the most valuable.
This love is rooted in morality. Moral explanations, like all knowledge, change as we learn more and make progress.
“when the mind is not trained to see how close love is, it will skip across galaxies to find it.”
-Brian McFadden

And at that moment…I felt myself tense up within. Uneasiness built — blood rushing from my heart, slowly but quickly exploding to every inch of my body. My heart no longer felt as light as it did seconds before.
Soon I shall be in a long distance realtionship. ( BOOOO)
Yes, I found my Darcy ! My prince very much so charming and I have to move away.
She wanted to taste the sin on his lips
The betrayal in his eyes and the love in his arms..
They both started a beautiful chaos that was never meant to be solved..
When all is stripped away
Lost in the moment
Forever etched into your mind
New year, new dreams, new hope. Once again all is new and fresh. Not just now but every moment…

You’ll always remain
You’ll appear at 6 AM on a night I’m pulling an all nighter trying to submit an assignment.
When I’m going through my writers block.
I forget how I feel about you. Or whether I feel anything at all.
I wish I was angry.
Angry I could punch a wall and think of nothing but my sore hand.
Angry I could drink and cryand fall asleepand do it all over againuntil I got over it out of boredom.
I have a good friend. That is a very simple way to start this, and probably unrefined, but I feel like it needs to be said. In my youth I do not think I was raised to value simply having a friendship with a member of the opposite sex. There is a lot of importance put on having a relationship, especially…
363 days.
That’s how long your commitment to “the last goodbye” lasted. That’s how long your love for your wife was enough for you. Three hundred and sixty-three days.
My father was a driven, high intensity trial attorney. He loved to drive cars, hard bargains, and outcomes. On occasion, he drove his adoring family up a wall :D.
Mom was his polar opposite: a gentle lamb of a mommy.
We all feel it, to some degree.
On paper in comparison we might say, “oh that’s terrible,” or “eh don’t worry that’s not so bad.”
I thought I’d start today with a musical number.
Actually, I didn’t … but one of my notifications referenced the Aux Raus track from yesterday and I was put in mind of something else as a result of listening to it again… so here it is —I’m not entirely sure why the two seem…
And the fear had him hypnotized
Dear friend,
Yes yes, I have changed from reader to friend because I think it might just be simpler to communicate. Instead of writing a grammatically correct, structured post, I can just spill my thoughts out and pretend like I’m just talking to a friend, or in this case, myself.

I told myself last night
You are not breaking me
I told myself today
I have had lots of lost
Today’s beauty recognizes the remarkable life of a dear friend who will be setting heaven a blaze tonight. Today I mourn the lose of a friendship of 27 years. We met when I first moved to our town. She was one of the most…

Then, out of the blue you contacted me.

Sometimes..
In my mind I see you sometime,
In the bleak of sunshine,

Overcome by griefOver-numb with needPut the tears and the fears on this computer screen loose leaf
Double sided people
You said you like me
Fine, no problem.
Like me ,you may like many,
Fine,no problem
but,you shouldn't do
this to everyone.
When I glimpse the moon
It reminds me your beauty
Your loyalty as a mistress
Then it flies me into – the entire universe
Stars, MilkyWay

1.30am, and I feel like writing.
I once told a guy “I’m a drug.dealer.”
True story, I got the joke from Tim Ferriss.The guy (being about 65 years old), and Tim Ferriss was (quite) new to the game, didn’t get 9/10ths of the reference.
Rushing on doing things that’s needed to be done
Mindlessly stereotyping the society’s expectation
Until I completely lost it..
Lost everything I am
Some days are good and some days are hard, sometimes I smile and other times I cry, sometimes I’m ok and most times I’m not. But continue to wrap your arms around me so that I’ll know your not far… just do me this one favor and I’ll be alright!
The waiting room
Maybe you will spend all your life waiting. Arms crossed, wondering eyes. Maybe, just maybe, one day you will realise that love don’t came by waiting. Love came when every pore of your skin and every bone of your body started to exist. Love was born with you. It always have existed inside you, all you had to…

The day is here that I celebrate all that you were and all that you did. No words will ever truly…
I’ve heard about the road to success.
My heart often aches from the break that it’s experiencing. Never knew pain nor torment such as this. I can’t seem to wrap my mind around it, and I find it hard to grasp that you couldn’t stay forever was so many more years away. As I go on day to day I feel my heart ache as it continues to break. You were pose to be here with me but your somewhere up above watching over me instead.
We etch glass into tantrums, flooding fears
into the wretched future. Cart the horse;
carry the water. Tarry, you appear
to have become before you came. The force
I skipped yesterday, but i didn’t forget. it was on purpose. like i remembered that I hadn’t uploaded when I was in bed with my head under the pillow. anyways, yesterday we went to get P a piercing, but he wasn’t quite sure so we didn’t end up getting it.

You were a blessing in disguise.
The devil with a smile,
a friend turned foe.
It’s like I never knew you at all.
Like we never even met.
The person I thought I loved and the person you admitted to be were polar opposites.
