So #LiteratureSaturdays? I’ll recommend some instagram accounts for you to follow to satisfy your cravings of well written pieces as well as poetry collections :)

No one is coming to save you. Get up. Your sadness isn't poetic. It's not even beautiful. You can't even see yourself rotting away waiting for a knight in shining armor. Get rid of the "if I get bad enough they might care" mentality. Finding beauty in sadness may keep you going but sadness isn't beautiful. You can take your time to heal but don't you dare choose to wallow in your depression and wait for something to magically cure you.

💜

Good morning☺️ Have a beautiful Friday💜

“It’s easy when we’re on the outside to believe that we would walk away without a second thought if a person mistreated us. It’s easy to say we couldn’t continue to love someone who mistreats us when we aren’t the ones feeling the love of that person.”

“Every incident chips away at your limit. Every time you choose to stay, it makes the next time that much harder to leave. Eventually, you lose sight of your limit altogether, because you start to think, ‘I’ve lasted five years now. What’s five more?’ ”

“In the future . . . if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again . . . fall in love with me.” I may or may not have screamed, cried and threw my phone away when I read this.

“Sometimes the things that matter to you most are also the things that hurt you the most. And in order to get over that hurt, you have to sever all the extensions that keep you tethered to that pain.”

“Maybe love isn’t something that comes full circle. It just ebbs and flows, in and out, just like the people in our lives.”

“All humans make mistakes. What determines a person’s character aren’t the mistakes we make. It’s how we take those mistakes and turn them into lessons rather than excuses.”

Down below are my most favored excerpts from the book.

Good morning☺️
