Sometimes, you have to shake your head and say "***** it." Divert your attention to something new and you'll find something precious.

and dear Lord, I am so glad that there is more to me than this.

It's so hard to forgive someone-
it's hard even to know what forgiveness is
should I agree that the wrong was necessary
should I sympathize with the wrongdoer
should I forget it ever happened
should I act as if it didn't
should I say something to you
I don't know. I don't know. All I know is when
I said, "I forgive you," even alone so no one heard,
a little piece of my heart unclenched,
a little shackle round my veins was let loose
and I knew then that when I said, "I forgive you,"
it was a better way of saying "I love you" and I knew that
the locks and loops holding me back were tied together
with my ability to forgive myself. I'm glad I saw this through.

so we'll ******* the neighbors
in a place that feels the tears
the place you lose your fears
yeah, reckless behavior.
not mine. lyrics from PILLOWTALK by ZAYN.

Only at that moment were my eyes hollow, empty
If you were to look inside you would have seen nothing
Only at that moment did I ever feel lifeless
No more

There's a point when the welfare of others begins to take its toll on you
When the wellbeing of someone is more important than yourself

You have to love yourself enough to stop
You have to love yourself enough to say no
You have to love yourself enough to realize
It was hurting you, and the whole time it wasn't okay
You have to love yourself enough to move on
