#quotes about him
“I spend every day convincing myself that I’m closer to moving on. Then I dream about you at night and I realize that I’m not.”
- Unknown

“I can tell the way you looked at me was different. Because you looked at me, the way I looked at you. And I looked at you as if the whole constellation had put itself within your eyes.”
“The eyes follow the heart. In other words, though you might not realize it, the person your eyes so effortlessly find and admire in a crowded room, is the person that has your heart.”
“We were just too different. I looked for the beauty in love and you looked for the reason in it.”
That must be the most bizarre part about falling for a friend. I don’t think I ever really “fell in love with you” in the traditional sense. I think my heart actually loved you this entire time, it just took my brain awhile to catch up and say, “This is it, this has been the one you’ve been waiting for.”
The moment I realized how quickly I fell in love with you was the moment I realized I was going to get hurt beyond comprehension.
Unknown
I tried so hard to be what you wanted… now I see that I’ll never be good enough for you.
Unknown
I’ve been hurt a lot… give me a chance to try and love again.
Unknown
I’ve been holding onto you with every fiber of my being. Holding on has been exhausting and I don’t know what’ll hurt more - the rope breaking or letting go; hoping that I gracefully break my fall.
You tease me into thinking that you’re going to throw me a thicker rope, but all I want is for you to pull me up.
I’m tired baby. How could you keep me holding on? Love me or let me go because I’m not strong enough to let go on my own.

We know about addiction to drugs and alcohol. We even know about sex and gambling addictions. What we never talk about is addictions to people. That feeling of needing someone’s presence. Craving to feel that person’s touch. Often times we confuse it with love or infatuation, but in reality it’s an addiction. We go back to the same people who treat us like shit because we feel our dopamine surge around them. We just can’t get enough of them.

Sadly a lot of people only see abuse as black and white. You may not have physical scars, but the emotional ones run deep to the point that they alter your DNA. A lot of people think that you could just get up and leave when in reality the actual thought of leaving physically hurts.
You can’t imagine life without them and you rationalize your pain as the ups and downs of life. Your abuser takes advantage of what is essentially your addiction to their attention. They dope you up with positivity only to take it away when you don’t meet their expectations - mentally breaking you. You find yourself craving and praying for their approval.
You’re never the same after that. There’s pre-them and after-them.
Once they leave you because they’re bored, have no use for you or worse found someone else to abuse, you become almost destitute and just broken. You struggle to move on and no matter how much therapy you get, you never truly go back to who you were before them. You find yourself becoming addicted to anyone who shows you kindness or replicates anything remotely close to your abuser on their best days. It’s a struggle that many people do not understand and often times blame you for putting up with it.
