people need to understand that once you go through your worst time alone, you really don’t care who stays in your life anymore.

“Even now, as broken as you may feel, you are still so strong. There’s something to be said for how you hold yourself together and keep moving, even though you feel like shattering. Don’t stop. This is your healing. It doesn’t have to be pretty, or graceful. You just have to keep going.”

— Maxwell Diawuoh

“You are so brave and quiet I forget you are suffering.”

— Ernest Hemingway

— Trista Mateer ,“I Still Forget We’re Not Even Friends”

“Please stop destroying what is left of your heart by constantly thinking about things that have broken you.”

— Unknown

The older you get, the more you choose calm over chaos and distance over disrespect. Drama becomes intolerable to you, and your peace becomes your highest priority. You start surrounding yourself with people who are good for your mental health, heart, and soul.

“Kindness is universal. Sometimes being kind allows others to see the goodness in humanity through you. Always be kinder than necessary.”

— Germany Kent

To avoid disappointment, stop seeing the good in people and start seeing exactly what they’ve shown you.
