quotes that really helped me move on. :D
- only grieving can heal grief; the passage of time will lessen the acuteness, but time alone, without the direct experience of grief, will not heal it. (anne lamott)
- the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference.
- experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes. (o. wilde)
- pain is weakness leaving the body.
- living well is the best revenge.
- the weak can never forgive. forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. (mahatma gandhi)
- resentment always hurts you more than the person you resent. while your offender has probably forgotten the offense and moved on, you continue perpetuating in the past. those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue hurting you now unless you hold on to the pain. your past is past, nothing will change it. you are only hurting yourself with your bitterness. for your own sake, learn from it and let go. (the purpose driven life)
- you’re just making it more complicated so that you can feel sorry for yourself. (thank you for smoking)
- there are too many mediocre things in life to deal with and love shouldn't be one of them. (dream for an insomniac)
- stop talking about love. every asshole in the world says he loves somebody. it means nothing. it still doesn't mean anything. what you feel only matters to you. it's what you do to the people you say you love, that's what matters. it's the only thing that counts. (the last kiss)
- someday, someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else.
- no ex-sex, no matter how passionate, sexy, or whatever, can negate whatever it was that caused the relationship to end.
- there are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. but keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a new life. (iyanla vanzant)
- the best way to mend a broken heart is time and girlfriends. (gwyneth paltrow)
- the heart is the only broken instrument that works. (t.e. kalem)
- pain is inevitable. suffering is optional. (m.k. casey)
- turn your wounds into wisdom. (oprah)
- heartbreak is a draining thing, but it is also a process of growth. (kuya benny)
- heartbreak isn't an easy subject to tell the truth about because it is too easy for it to come out as anger. beneath that anger is pain, and beneath that pain is fear. (india arie)
- the secret of life is to get up and try again.
- forgiveness is always better than revenge; the best way to get even is to forget.
