— Leaves and Butterflies

There’s something freeing about being able to say ‘You’re not healthy for me’ and just walking away.

— 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.”

Emma Swan + walking away

Emma Swan + walking away from her true love

Life is too short to put up with fools.

Walk away from anything or anyone who takes away from your joy. 

Life is too short to put up with fools.

You've got a lot to say...

walk from your problems

The further away you walk from your problems, the longer the walk back is to fixing them.

running

Don't keep running back to the one person that you need to walk away from. 

because of you.

Many people will walk in and out of your life, (change)

Many people will walk in and out of your life, 

but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

Letting Go

How do you walk away from someone you love
And take the road of friend;
Can you reroute the course you have taken
And start over once again?

I don’t really want to let you go
But inside me I know I must;
The times we’ve loved … the times you’ve left
My heart says stay … but it’s my mind I must trust.

We have shared so much together
Laughter … fun times … tears;
Yet sometimes we can’t turn back time
We must walk away, and allow ourselves to heal.

I know one day you will be happy
And your soulmate you will find;
I know we each have one out there
Even if for now … only in our minds.

May life be gentle with you
May God’s best come your way;
And on some quiet tomorrow
You will realize things were better this way.

~ Judy Burnette

wishing you the best.

Even though it's hard to let you go and things are all a mess,

I'll try to walk away and I'm wishing you the best.

When it's real

At some point you will realize

mindful, careful and think hard

Be mindful of what you toss away, be careful of what you push away, and think hard before you walk away.

you have to draw the line

At some point you will realize that you have 

done too much for someone or something, that

the only next possible step to do is to stop. 

Leave them alone. Walk away. It's not like 

you're giving up, and it's not like you shouldn't 

try. It's just that you have to draw the line of 

determination from desperation. What is truly 

yours would eventually be yours, and what is

not, no matter how hard you try, will never be. 

i don't know what you're still doing here.

when it feels real, you can't walk away~

those times you have to put your heart on your shoulders and walk away even though each step felt like thousands daggers

eletheowl:

“I have never been strong enough to stay. People say that walking away is the hardest thing to do, but it isn’t. staying, even when you know it will break your heart, is the hardest thing. Staying right where you are, waiting for your entire world to be ripped into pieces is much harder than walking away and starting a new one.”

Don’t take me for granted,

Don’t take me for granted, because unlike the others, I’m not afraid to walk away.
