Lost in Pacific Time...

"

Celebrate the love that hurt you.
celebrate the person who couldn’t love you right.
The one who kept you guessing and lead you on,
who would kiss you and under the same breath say, “we are just friends”,
Who would say “I love you” and disappear,
Who made you feel like a desperate version of yourself.

Celebrate that you recognize and see now what inconsistent, unbalanced love does to a person and remember to never give it yourself.

Celebrate in knowing you are better off without that kind of love,
celebrate to know that love changes and shifts, just like life.
So sometimes “the one” isn’t really “the one” and just a lesson needed in that moment of your journey.

Celebrate that love had power to move you and that’s how you know it was real - it changed you.

Celebrate that you know how to hold a heart without breaking it.

Instead of crying tears of hurt
pop a bottle, put on your beautiful smile
and celebrate what you gained, not lost -
you lose nothing, they do.

Celebrate that this insane, crazy, miraculous life is much more than just one unbalanced love - celebrate that you deserve more.

"One minute they ache to touch you, the next day they want nothing to do with you. Feelings are a fickle thing. You want answers, you need closure, and now you’re laying awake at night trying to hold yourself together because you allowed yourself to be vulnerable. You are full of love for someone who saw what you had to offer – and they decided they didn’t want it. This, an unbearable version of the many forms of loneliness."

"Stop giving attention to people who take without giving."

"Just remember that sometimes, the way you think about a person isn’t the way they actually are."

"Isn’t it scary knowing that any time could be the last time you talk to someone? Always keep that in mind."
