Burning bridges isn't a bad thing

Sometimes burning bridges isn't a bad thing…
it prevents you from going back to a place you should never have been to begin with.

Creating something better

Maybe it’s not always about trying to fix something broken.
Maybe it’s about starting over and creating something better.

While I fix myself

I didn’t need you to fix me, I needed you to love me while I fix myself.

When we stopped speaking...

I felt more emotion when I ruined my favorite sweater
than I did when we stopped speaking.

Respect yourself to walk away

Respect yourself to walk away from anything
that no longer serves you,
grows you, or makes you happy.

Stuck somewhere you don’t belong

Growth is painful. Change is painful.
But nothing is as painful as staying stuck
somewhere you don’t belong.

The hardest part about letting go...

The hardest part about letting go is finally realizing that there wasn't much left to hold on to.

Some people can stay in your heart

At some point, you have to realize that some people can stay in your heart but not in your life.

Your childhood may not have been perfect, but it’s over.

Let go of all the toxic people in your life

Until you let go of all the toxic people in your life,
you will never be able to grow into your fullest potential.
Let them go so you can grow.

Holding on to someone who doesn't care

Never lose yourself while trying to hold on to someone who doesn't care about losing you.

Pride

Sometimes it’s hard to open your hand, but you need to…

Keep people in your life that...

Keep people in your life that truly love you,
motivate you, encourage you, inspire you,
enhance you and make you happy.
If you have people who do none of the above,
let them go.

Be your own hero

Sometimes you just gotta be your own hero and save your own little heart.
Because sometimes, the people you can’t imagine living without, can actually live without you.

The only thing that burns in Hell...

The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won’t let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they’re not punishing you, he said. They’re freeing your soul. So, if you’re frightened of dying and… and you’re holding on, you’ll see devils tearing your life away. But if you’ve made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth.
- Jacobs Ladder (1990)

Love the ones who are in my life

I love the ones who are in my life and make it amazing
and I thank the ones who left my life and made it even more fantastic.

There’s no use in wasting your time on people that leave you.

When someone walks out of your life, let them. There’s no use in wasting your time on people that leave you. What you make of yourself and your future is no longer tied to them. Yeah, you may miss them. But remember that you weren't the one that gave up.

When people walk away from you...

When people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn’t mean they are bad people. It just means that their part in your story is over.

Stop holding on to what hurts and make room for what feels good.

Sometimes we have to let go...

Sometimes we have to let go of what’s killing us, even if it’s killing us to let go.
