“The Funny Thing About Stop Signs Is That They’re Also Start Signs.”

8 Uncomfortable Truths that We All Need to Accept

Happiness is where you are now, or nowhere at all.

It’s not a new relationship, it’s not a new job. It’s not a completed goal, and it’s not a new car.

Until you give up on the idea that happiness is somewhere else, it will never be where you are.

2. Quitting is for winners.

Contrary to popular opinion, quitting is for winners. Knowing when to quit, change direction, leave a toxic situation, demand more from life, give up on something that isn’t working and move on, is a very important skill that people who win at life all seem to have.

But don’t quit because it’s hard.

Quit because it sucks.

3. If they really wanted to, they would.

If you apply pressure, they’ll do what you want them to.

If you take the pressure off, you’ll see what they’d rather do.

Never waste your life fighting what someone would rather do.

Let them go. Move on. Do better.

4. Taking no risk is the biggest risk.

You have to risk failure to succeed.

You have to risk rejection to be accepted.

You have to risk heartbreak to love.

If you’re always avoiding risk, you’re risking missing out on life.

5. Call yourself out.

The most common reason why people keep making the same mistakes is because their insecure ego prevents them from taking responsibility for their ‍

own bullshit, their own toxic traits and their own mistakes.

6. Closure is your choice.

Closure isn’t an apology, or justice, or answers.

That’s insecurity.

If the situation made you feel awful, seeking closure by reopening it is insanity.

Closure isn’t something htye can give you.

Closure is moving on. Closure is your choice.

‍7. If you’re happy alone, you’ll be happier together.

There is no type of affection that can fill the void of a person who doesn’t love themselves already.

There is no independence  in dependency.

There is no personal security in attaching yourself to a secure person.

Until you have a healthy relationship with yourself, you won’t make healthy decisions about someone else

8. It’s not your job to fix damaged people.

Your responsibility to hep someone will never outweigh their responsibility to help themselves.

But, it’s worth asking yourself why you resonated so strongly with someone that so desperately needed “fixing” in the first place.

Often, our own toxic romantic and non-romantic attachments tell a story about an issue we have within ourselves.

“There’s really no shortcut to forgetting someone. You just have to endure missing them everyday until you don’t anymore.”

Loving

Love such a beautiful dream,

We all want a kind of love,

That seems out of this world,

The one which everyone craves,

And keeps looking for everywhere.

But no one ever taught us,

The most loving is self love,

You'll never ever feel complete,

Without loving yourself first.

Oh how euphoric it feels,

I can't even explain,

It's like sugar in my veins,

Like cotton candy in my brain,

Like fireworks in my heart,

Like gazing at the stars,

Like a dreamingly sighing,

Feels like the breeze cutting through your hair,

Like the amazing smell of your favorite flower,

Or reading something you like,

There are so many things which can describe,

The feeling of loving yourself,

It's seems so funny to explain,

I can't even comprehend.

Hearing yourself giggling alone,

And falling in love with the sound,

Peaking inside your heart,

And loving the person who you are.

Stop looking for love outside,

Just give yourself a part of love,

That you seem to be giving everyone else,

And I give you my word,

You'll never feel so loving,

Except for this,

I've always craved unconditional love,

But now I understand,

No one is going to give that to you,

More better than yourself.

So be a little more loving,

To yourself than everyone else.

When there's a breakup, people always advise you to move on, forget the other person and distract yourself. No doubt that that's the right thing to do, but why doesn't no one talks about the times when you can't distract yourself anymore? When it's late and you're all alone, who else were you going to think besides the person you love? No one talks about the fact we don't want to forget them, we want them to stay forever, even when they left us.

Here's a playlist for when you still want to think about them, because you still can, even if it's over.

मेरी सांसें चल रही है

तुम हो नहीं,

फिर भी

देखो ना सनम

मन में कितनी

बातें चल रही है

तुमको देखे बरसो हो गया

पर सनम

अब तुम ही बताओ

इन यादों का क्या करे ?

रूह तो मेरी है

पर कमबख्त सांसें

तो तुम्हारी चल रहीं हैं
