No love in war

I was taught a valuable lesson this week and it didn't come until I pulled the knife from my back.

I learned that there is no love in war.

It's all business from here on out.

Here are some quotes I meant to blog-out earlier in the week:

"The truth may hurt but lies destroy." - Unknown

"There's nothing worse than realizing how little you mean to those who meant the most to you." - Unknown

"Nobody apologized for how they treated me, they just blamed me for how I reacted." - Unknown

"Change is uncomfortable but necessary." - Unknown

"I became unreachable to those that had all access and abused it." - Unknown

"Your apology needs to be as loud as your disrespect was." - Unknown

"At some point in life someone will love you more than you've expected. Be patient and learn to wait because a patient person deserves the best love story." - Unknown

"Be with someone who will take care of you. Not materialistically but takes care of your soul, your well-being, your heart and everything that's you. Not everyone can do it because it takes time, effort, and most importantly patience." - Unknown

"Don't put me in a position where I gotta show you how cold my heart can get." - Unknown

"I want love to outnumber the days that hurt outstayed its welcome." - Danielle Holian

"The only thing worse than watching you take me for granted, was listening to you pretend you didn't."
- Unknown

"I understand that some things in this world were never meant to be. If only falling in love with you could have been one of them." -Unknown

"Sometimes I want to go back in time and talk to the old you. The one that cared. The one that would never hurt me. And I want to vent to you about how much I hate the person you've become. And you'd apologize and tell me you didn't mean for any of this to happen. You'd hug me tightly and promise that everything would be ok. That you would never treat me that way. And I'd believe you. But sadly, that version of you no longer exists. It's stuck in the past, along with my innocence." - Unknown

"I hardened under the last loss. It took something human out of me." - The sun and her flowers when speaking of her numbness

"Nah we can't still be friends. We can't still be friends because I never started speaking to you with the intention of just wanting to be friends and honestly, I probably will never be okay seeing you with someone else. Therefore, I don't wanna be around when that happens. So, thank you for all the great memories and life lessons but no I don't want to be your friend." - Unknown

"I cried when I had no shoes, but I stopped crying when I saw a man without legs. Life is full of blessings, sometimes we don't value it." - Shakespeare

"No matter how good you are to them it doesn't mean that they will treat you the same. No matter how much they meant to you doesn't mean they'll value you the same. Sometimes the people you love the most, turn out to be the people you can trust the least." - Unknown

"Every relationship will get "boring" after you've been together for years. Love isn't a feeling it's a commitment to love every day, physically and emotionally. It's difficult, it's not always laughs, smiles, and fun. People tend to quit when it stops being fun, and they go look for someone else because "the spark is gone." No, that's not how it works. You want somebody to never give up on you, and love you unconditionally then do the same. Be the change. Love someone when you don't want to, when they aren't the easiest to deal with. When they're hard to love. That's the realist shit there is." - Unknown

"The best relationship is when you two can act like lovers and best friends. It's when you have more playful moments than serious moments. It's when you can joke around, have unexpected hugs, and random kisses. It's when you two give each other than specific stare and just smile. It's when you'd rather chill inside to watch movies, eat junk food, and cuddle than go out all the time. It's when you'll stay up all night just to settle your arguments and problems. It's when you can completely act yourself and they can still love you for who you are." - Unknown 

"On this journey I must learn to love myself enough to let go of all that isn't love." - Kia Marlene

Stay safe out there && as always, I appreciate ya!
