Things to Remember For the Future

June 18th, 2011 by Manda | 5 Comments | Filed in Life
  • Problems will always be there until you deal with them; running from them accomplishes nothing.
  • Never make one person your whole world, because if you do, you will always be holding yourself back.
  • Love freely, love largely, love with all your heart, but never give your love to someone who doesn’t care for it.
  • Never underestimate the strength you can draw from having amazing, supportive friends.
  • You have to learn to love yourself before you can love and be loved in return.
  • Inner strength is a thing of beauty: never forget you possess it.
  • Everything happens for a reason.
  • The only person responsible for your own happiness is you.

Breakeven

March 7th, 2011 by Manda | 2 Comments | Filed in Relationships

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
‘Cause [he's] moved on while I’m still grieving
And when a heart breaks, no it don’t breakeven, even, no
- Breakeven, The Script

I can say with confidence that the best part of me is not him, despite the fact that he is a huge part of my life, but that doesn’t make the situation any less painful. Or complicated.

It should be fairly straightforward – boy breaks girl’s heart, girl moves on. But life is never that neat and tidy. Or simple.

Tom: Did you ever even have a boyfriend?
Summer: Of course.
Tom: What happened, why didn’t they work out?
Summer: What always happens? Life.
- (500) Days of Summer

It’s one of those things where you know you deserve better but you’re afraid you won’t find better. So you settle, and you hate yourself and the boy for it, but you can’t bring yourself to do anything else.

This is what defines “pathetic.”

Soul Searching

February 19th, 2011 by Manda | 6 Comments | Filed in Life

I’ve been a little scarce of late and when I have been around, my entries haven’t exactly been the most personal or insightful. This is because I seem to have fallen into a bit of a state that, well… I don’t know. A state that involves a lot of feeling discouraged and worthless, I guess. It’s complicated.

I’m not satisfied with where a lot of things are in my life right now. I need to fix this, but I don’t know how, because so much of this dissatisfaction stems from things that are out of my control.

I wish there was a button I could press and magically, everything would turn around.
