dear god, 
"i could use a little break from this cycle, to give myself more space to discover what i look like and talk like when i'm not trying to merge with someone. when i scan back on my romantic record, it doesn't look so good. it's been one catastrophe after another. how many more different types of men can i keep trying to love, and continue to fail? think of it this way -- if you'd had ten serious traffic accidents in a row, wouldn't they eventually take your driver's license away? wouldn't you kind of want them to?" -elizabeth gilbert


i can relate to this quote, oh boy, i can relate... the encouraging thing about all of this is that, no matter how unhealthy it may seem to act in this way, i'm not alone & i am loved by many. 


we have to remember those two things... tattoo them on our foreheads. 


you are not alone & you are loved by many.
