“Introverts may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.”

“Everybody lies. So I stopped trusting people. And now I feel alone.”

“Fall in love with someone who will never let you go to sleep wondering if you still matter.”

“You shouldn’t have to tell someone how to treat you. Know your worth.”

“In my head, I know that it was for the best. I know that if he didn’t even try to fix things, then he wasn’t worth it, that he didn’t deserve me. I know that I will find someone else so much better than him. I know that he will never find another girl that will love and hold onto him as much as I did. I know that if he ever comes back, I can’t let him come back. I know all these things, yet my heart can’t drop my feelings for him. I know all these things, yet I’m suffocating.”

“Just remember that whatever you put up with, you end up with.”

“No, fuck you. I was good enough. You weren’t.”

“Realizing I deserve better changed everything”

“I deserve someone who cares. I deserve someone who would go out of their way to show me that they want me in their life. I deserve someone who appreciates what I do for them. I deserve someone who won’t treat me as an option, but as an only choice. I deserve someone who is careful with my heart because they know it’s been through a lot. I deserve someone who doesn’t play games and is sure that they want me. I deserve someone who will help me love myself, not make me hate myself more. I deserve someone who won’t ever make me feel like I’m not good enough or that I need to compete with other people to get their attention. I deserve someone who asks about my well being. I deserve someone who is there for me whenever they know something’s wrong. I deserve someone who wants to spend time with me, and won’t make me feel guilty for wanting to talk to them. I deserve someone who will treat me the same when they’re with their friends as they would treat me when we’re alone. I deserve someone who won’t push me away but will let me in, as I’d do to them. I deserve better, and I’m not going to settle for anything less anymore.”
