the right person will like you when you’re off guard, when you aren’t trying to impress anyone or attract anyone’s attention. just being yourself, raw, unfiltered.

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

improving > impressing

There's always going to be someone who doesn't see your worth. Don't let it be you.

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

want to sit by the sea with someone and not think

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

Want to be with someone that makes me feel safe and at home, that’s the type of reassurance I need

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

It’s always exactly what it looks like. Stop allowing people to lie to you.

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

healthy relationships are created, not found.

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

Someone being patient with you is one of the softest forms of love

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

choose a partner who is good for you. not good for your parents. not good for your image. not good for your bank account. choose someone who’s going to make your life emotionally fulfilling.

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

Time doesn’t heal you. You heal you.

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

sometimes you just need to let go to see what happens

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

I’m in a phase where I’m outgrowing a lot of things.

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

Don’t ever abandon yourself again.

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

life has made me so quiet. I prefer to listen. no more talking, no more explaining, no more begging. silence.

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

coming back to the things you loved when you were younger feels so special

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

You've healed too much to let anyone bring back an older version of you.

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

if you want it, get it. make it. create it. chase it.

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

Be more involved with life and less attached to it

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

It gets lonely healing yourself and choosing what’s right for you. Have faith that once you clear out the old, balance yourself within, there’s new space for a new love, a new perspective and new beginnings.

[Matthew Colborn @matthew_colborn]

I cannot carry the weight of my past forever. It’s not fair to myself or the person I’m trying to become
