Doing better without them

Once they see you doing better without them, that’s when they want you back.

Never drop down to their level

No matter how badly people treat you,
never drop down to their level,
just know you’re better and walk away.

NO!

“No” is a complete sentence. It does not require justification or explanation.

People committed to misunderstanding

Never waste your time trying to explain who you are
to people who are committed to misunderstanding you.

Love, respect and value those who deserve you

Love the one who loves you. Respect the ones who deserve it.Value those who take care of you. And forget those who don’t deserve you.

Making some changes

I’m making some changes in my life.
If you don’t hear anything from me, you are one of them.

Alone with my dignity

I would rather be alone with my dignity
than in a relationship that requires me to sacrifice my self-respect.

I’m rarely bored alone

I’m rarely bored alone; I am often bored in groups and crowds.

People who suck the happiness out of you

Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you.

More problems than happiness?

If someone comes into your life and brings more problems than happiness,
it’s time to show them the door where they can exit.

The wrong people

I will never regret the things I did wrong.
I will only regret the good things I did for the wrong people.

Forget the ones that forgot you

The people you surround yourself with

You are only going to be as good as the people you surround yourself with
so be brave enough to let go of those who keep weighing you down.

Removing toxic people from your life

You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn't matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance – you don’t have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It’s one thing if a person owns up to their behavior and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and “continues” to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.

- Danielle Koepke

You're precious

Your time is precious. Don’t waste it on someone who doesn't realize that you are, too.

Your life will get better

Your life will get better when you realize it’s better to be alone
than to chase people who don’t really care about you.
 - Thelma Davis

You’ll finally start living

When you find the courage
to cut out the people in your life
who criticize everything you do,
you’ll finally start living.

The way people treat you

The way people treat you is a statement about who they are as human being.
It’s not a statement about you.

Fuck em!

They need to talk about you to get attention
because if they talk about themselves no one gives a shit!

Intimidated by you

They kick you when you are down
because they are intimidated by you when you are standing up.
