"You can stay in the same place and still find ways to leave people."

~ Nicholas Sparks

— Sade Andria Zabala | More Guts Than Fish, More Balls Than You

“Do not call me weak.
It was brave of me to love you, and
it was brave of me to leave you.

It was strength enough for me to walk away
when my legs were shaking,
lungs were aching,
body screaming out for you still

I
walked
away.
And now I’m here.

So don’t ever call me weak.
I am courageous as fuck.”

— Get up and leave

1. If you don’t like the way he kisses you, you won’t like the way he fucks you. Get up and leave.

2. If he won’t go down on you, but expects you to go down on him, laugh. Get up and leave.

3. If you don’t want to do something and he doesn’t respect that, slap him round the face. Get up and leave.

4. If he isn’t okay with the imperfections on your skin, if he says they turn him off, get up and leave.

5. If you don’t want to shave your legs and he thinks that’s disgusting and refuses to touch them, get up and leave.

6. If he doesn’t see your body as a masterpiece, as a complete work of art, get up and leave.

7. If he makes you feel uncomfortable about any part of your body, get up and leave.

— Tennessee Williams

“I tried to leave you behind me, but I am
more faithful than I intended to be.”

It's better to burn than to fade away. It's better to leave than to be replaced.

— Mike Mills

The ones that love us never really leave us. — Harry Potter

There comes a time in life when

“There comes a time in life when you’ll have to leave everything behind and start something new but never forget the ones who stood by your side, especially the ones who never let you let go.”

Don’t force them to love you. Force them to leave you

Don’t force them to love you.

Force them to leave you and

whoever insists to stay is the one

who TRULY loves you

— Jeanette Winterson

“He looked at me like 

I was crazy. 

Most of my lovers do, 

and that’s partly why 

they love me, 

and partly 

why they 

leave.”

Cutting off hair in ancient Asia

Cutting off hair in ancient Asia (Japan, china, Korea & possibly some other Asian cultures) symbolizes being banished or rejected from their home. In the more modern age that is now, cutting long hair into a short cut means to forget the past, leaving the old and starting anew.
