Chasing Memories ♥

People need to realize that they in themselves are special and beautiful and that they don’t need someone else to make them happy. Depending on someone else to make you happy, in the end, always makes you unhappy. 
Nobody can live to your expectations, and neither can you. That is just how it works. Which is why any relationship - best friends, brother-sister, boyfriend-girlfriend - need compromise.

Don’t ever let yourself slip away just so that you could save someone else from falling. It might be a sweet gesture, but it can end up hurting you for life. It’s not bad to care for people, but it’s bad to always put others before you.

You’re important too, and others will only realize that if you realize it yourself.

Every problem has a solution and you can’t always run away from things that scare you. You need to face them and sort them. By running away, problems don’t disappear, their intensity just increases. If you’re tired of fixing things, let somebody else help you. Don’t leave everything and run away. It never helps. 

Problems are meant to be solved and you are meant to be respected. And if someone doesn’t understand either of those, they’re not worth you or your time.

Letting go doesn’t make you weak, sometimes it just makes you stronger. 

That is why it is important to let some things go. To release them, to cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing marked cards, sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. Don’t expect to get anything back, dont expect recognition for your efforts, dont expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability or arrogance but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and start being who you are.

I always thought that letting go will be the hardest thing for me to do and that it’ll cause me the most pain and hurt. And it did, but it also made me feel better. You know why? Because I know that letting you go doesn’t mean that I don’t care for you, it just means that I’m not going to let you tell me how I’m supposed to do everything and how I’m supposed to care for you. 

You were always the person who made me weak, and who made me feel that I could never be independent. But today, not having you with me, has only made me stronger and has made me realize how wrong you were all along and how wrong I was in letting myself believe that I’m weak and dependent. Because I’m not. I’m strong enough to not let you bother me or let you ruin the things that make me happy in my life. 

You’re a part of my life and I’ll never deny that or regret that. But I won’t let one part of my life affect the rest of it. I have a lot at stake except you, and I won’t lose it all. 

My friends and my family mean more to me than you, and it might have taken me a long time to realize this but I finally have and I will not let you or anyone make me think or feel otherwise. 

I’m a strong person and somewhere I’ve always been. I feel, by letting go of you, I re-discovered myself and that makes me happy. 

You no more make me sad and neither do I hurt anymore. Because I’ve outgrown those feelings and also because I’m mature enough not to hold those feelings forever and destroy my life over you! 

I’m happy, happier than I’ve ever been. And knowing that you’re not the reason behind it, knowing that I am happy without you, just adds to the joy. :] 

Sometimes you love something so much that it hurts to leave it, but you must.
Sometimes it hurts too much to hold on to that thing you love. 
And sometimes you let go of what you love because it hurts, but then sometimes…just sometimes…you get it back and live happily ever after :] 

I’m thankful that no matter how dark things might get, old friendships can still be rekindled. I’m thankful for new relationships that help us realize how far we’ve come from who we were and how close we get when we can really be ourselves. I’m thankful to know that no matter what they say, you can go home again; whether it’s your home or not.

It’s okay to be scared of starting a new relationship after being hurt by someone whom you truly loved. It’s okay to be overwhelmed by the new developing feelings for another guy. It’s okay to feel like he’s gonna hurt you too. It’s okay to doubt yourself, your feelings, and him. 

But, what is not okay, is to let your fear overshadow your happiness and your willingness. It’s not okay to push away the guy whom you like just because you’re scared. It’s not okay to decide that he’ll hurt you without giving it a try. 

Don’t fear your feelings for a guy just because the guy before him hurt you. Don’t let your past shape your present or your future. Don’t push him away just because you’re scared. Give him a chance to make you believe that you can trust him, because if you don’t, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. He might not be perfect but if he makes you happy, that’s all that matters! 

Don’t let some jerk ruin something that can maybe turn out to be amazing. Don’t miss on chances because you’re scared. Rather, face those fears and fight them. 

It is okay to be scared and to have fears, but it’s not okay to let those overshadow something that can bring you immense happiness!
