When you hold a grudge, you want someone else’s sorrow to reflect your level of hurt but the two rarely meet. Steve Maraboli (via quotethatword)

It’s important to make sure that we’re talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds.Barack Obama
(via wordsnquotes)

My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you’ve been mean to someone, they won’t believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it’s time to stop being nice, then destroy them.Laurell K. Hamilton, A Stroke of Midnight
(via wordsnquotes)

I will feed myself self love until it dilutes the taste of you from my lips, till my mouth is overflowing, till my heart is flooded, till my mind is exuberant with “I love me” instead of “I love you”. And that is how I will forget you. Nikita Gill, How I Will Forget You (via meanwhilepoetry)
