“This part of my life... this little part... is called ‘Happyness’.”

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

You fell in love with his potential, not the person he consistently showed you. That's why your heart feels betrayed.

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

Nothing hurts more than seeing myself again in the same situation after getting better for a while.

Trust the overthinker who says she loves you because she has thought of every reason not to and still does

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

She's damaged but she's a keeper. She just needs to be loved a little different, reassured a little more.

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

Hearing a man talk about our future and how excited he is to be building a life with me is one of the best feelings ever.

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

I read somewhere that when we don't feel wanted, we make ourselves feel needed. And I realize now that is what I've been doing my entire life.

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

The worst feeling is when you find out you didn't mean as much to someone as you thought you did and you look so stupid for caring too much.

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

She's scared to get to close to anyone anymore, because everyone who promised her they would stay, turned their back on her and walked away.

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

The next time you feel butterflies, take an antibiotic and kill them before it spreads trauma through your brain.

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

I don't regret you but sometimes I wish I had walked away at the start and left things at hello because I let you become my happiness and that's where I went wrong.

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

A therapist said that being a loner is a trauma response. You're so used to people you love not showing up for you or walking away. You may have also grown up in a toxic environment where the only one you could depend on was you. So naturally, you only feel safe when you're alone

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

Love is not meant to feel like you're in survival mode. It's meant to feel like coming home to yourself.

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

Fumbling a genuine woman, leaving her confused, anxious, and sad, will be the reason for your karma, by the way.

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

My biggest turn off is when men over promise and under deliver because you really could have just shut the fuck up.

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

This has been the most depressing and confusing phase of my life. I promise I'll get my spark back, but for now, let me grieve.

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

Guys be like “babe, that's just my emotional support failed talking stage girl best friend that I used to have sex with”

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

She’s a needy girlfriend but she's needy for the right reasons. She’s not the "buy me that" type of girl. She’s the "text me back, show me off, I want your attention, make me feel safe, come here and love me" type of needy...

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

What aren’t you getting? I’m not trying to argue, I want to be heard and understood. It's the principle. You didn't consider how I was going to feel before you did what you did. It shows you didn’t really love me. It made me re-think all of it.

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

You know what's attractive? Someone who knows when you're overthinking and gently reassures you without making you feel dramatic.

[Melissa Christina @melylem]

"You handled it so well." No, actually, I broke down quietly. I lost my spark. I lost myself. I cried everyday, withdrew into isolation, felt numb when I wasn't in tears, & carried the weight of it with me everywhere until one day I woke up & it wasn't the first thing on my mind.
