Need

“He needed her, she was always there. She needed him, he never cared.”

—Bob Marley

“The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. 

You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.”

— scrawlaletter

“I am lost in my daydreams. Constantly thinking about how to fulfill my heart and my longings.

It feels like I am wasting too much time. Time with people who actually hurt and destroy me. With being a perfectionist permanently trying to improve myself. I waste too much time with being egocentric and impatient. With arguing and dispute. With being sad and depressive. I am wasting too much time with criticizing myself and wanting to be someone else.

I am wasting too much time instead of being happy. Instead of loving deep and completely out of control. Instead of experiencing adventures and late-night talks. Instead of dancing in the rain. Instead of moving to a big city.

I am wasting too much time instead of living out my daydreams.”

the Words

The scariest part is letting go

‘Cause love is a ghost you can’t control

I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now

So let the words slip out of your mouth

To be brave

To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage, because we don’t want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt. 

How to Deal with Hurt and Pain

1. Try and put into words exactly how you’re feeling. Is it the pain of rejection? Is it an overwhelming feeling of shame and self-loathing? Is it a sense of disbelief that you’ve been treated so cruelly by others? Is it a sense of utter desperation?

2. Try and find a way of expressing the pain. Sometimes we can tell the person who has hurt us– but often we feel that they won’t be responsive. If that is the case, find someone you can open up to.  It’s really important that you have the chance to honestly express what you’re going through. If you feel there’s no-one you can talk to right now, then perhaps try journaling, or using some kind of art, like music or painting.

3. If the pain’s related to something that happened, admit that you can’t go back and change the past. You need to let it go and keep your eyes ahead. You are not defined by what happened to you, and you have what it takes to live a rich, rewarding life.

4. Related to this, forgive yourself and don’t hold on to regrets. Learn what you can – and then choose to move ahead. Don’t be a victim of your past, or other people.

5. Reconnect with the person that you were previously. Think of who you might have been if this had never happened. You can still be that person: they are still a part of you.

6. Focus on the things that bring you joy and happiness, and focus on those people who love care for you.

the way you do

“I could never hurt you the way you hurt me.”

— Johnny Depp

And it hurts so much 

to want something 

you can’t have.

— by~sw (I never know which one of my poems will resonate with people…*smirk & wink* apparently this one does.)

You love them.

You love them. You don’t want to lose them. Yet, even reaching out…wanting so desperately to find a way that will make things work…no matter what you try…it all ends up as more hurt.

When you got hurt

♣

When you got hurt 

It made you beautiful 

The cracks around your heart, 

They let the light shine through

When you got hurt 

In pieces on the floor 

You put them back together 

Even better than before.

The fault in our stars

“You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world…

but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.”

— Azra.T “You can’t love me when your heart shut.”

“When you come home tonight, I will not be there.

you're not the first or last...

— Walking Dead (Episode 2)

“When you care about people, 

hurt is kinda part of 

the package.”

i want to be able to look at you,

If it’s between love and losing

If it’s between love and losing

And to never have known the feeling I’d still side with love

And if I end up lonely at least I will be there knowing I believe in love-“fearless”, colbie caillat

Love is always a good thing no matter how much it hurts. Even after it’s over, even through the pain, anyone who has ever really loved will tell you that they never regretted a second of it, no matter how much it hurt in the end. And if you tell me differently, I will tell you that you were not truly in love.

“It hurts every day, the absence of someone who was once there.”

Bad things are always going to happen in life.

Bad things are always going to happen in life. People will hurt you. But you can't use that as an excuse to hurt someone back.
