Moving on is hard to do. It’s what recycles the hurt and the anger if we don’t do it right the first time. Until you can figure out how to do it in a healthy way that fully allows you to recover, you will never move on. You have to choose it. You cannot force it. It’s okay to take time and hurt as long as you need. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

No matter what side of the coin you look at, it’s still a coin. Don’t spend any more time justifying your toxic relationship and find someone who loves you the way you will love them. Pain comes with life and the act of falling in love, but it doesn’t have to be, and shouldn’t ever be, painful to love someone.

I'm torn between believing that everything happens for a reason and taking life by the horns and making my own destiny. Usually, I will switch back and forth depending on which fits my current situation. Either way, both will play such a huge role in the future you are working towards. I'm honestly a firm believer in both.
