Beautiful Bastard Quotes

He needed to know the risk he was taking by
being associated with me.

I ran when the
going got tough, because I was so sure it was all going
to end badly. The only control I had was to be the one
who left, instead of the one who was left behind.

“Don’t worry
about me. I know I’ve been a mess lately, but I’ll get it
together."

Move

Maybe Freedom is a state of mind. Or maybe some place you go far from here. Maybe it's an escape two blocks and one closed door away. It's tolerance, harmony, and respect combined. It's when the people you care about, they know you for who you really are because it's okay for them when you show them. It's when they love what you do and love the ones you love too.

You are not the only who is scared right now. You are not the only one who is anxious of leaving home. There is comfort at home. No, not just the food, bed, and conveniene of everything. Here, it's safe. Here, you don't have to prove anything. Here, you don't have to try so hard. Here, you're free.

But we don't belong here. At least, not anymore. There is another world waiting for us out there. We cannot ignore that world. That is our reality. Not that we cannot do anything about it but we signed up for this one way or another. All this time, we worked for it, building it brick by brick. And there's no turning bak now. It demands that we finish what we started. It is waiting for us. When our goal learned that we are on our way towards it, it started running towards us.

Life will never be the same. We will never be the same. We may do things differently but we will do them. Things will get harder and we will become stronger. It may take time but we will get there.

So fasten up, big girl. Armour yourself. It's gonna be a battle out there. It won't be easy but you were made to survive. Persevere. Go on. Move on. Head high. Contain yourself. You are on your way into becoming a masterpiece.

Don't think about the people around you. You don't have to compete with anyone. Don't let them get you. I won't. You'll get there. One day at a time. One step at a time. One brick at a time. Do this for him. For them. And above all, for yourself. Play in your mind over and over again the kind of future you want. It's worth it. So, now, move.

Don't feel. I mean, don't get too emotional on almost anything. Don't waste your time over-thinking unnecessary things. You have a goal. You are capable. You are intelligent. You are worth it. You can make it. This time, it's yours. This time is yours.

You Can Let Go Now

"Sometimes, letting go is a good thing." This is what my friend said while watching Titanic. She was referring at the part where a couple just accepted the fact that they cannot survive the tragedy no matter what. They gave up trying and instead, they just held each other and faced together whatever will happen next.

Letting go is a good thing. I know that. I believe that. When you get to the point where you know it's not going anywhere anyway, you have to quit already. When he had said it so clearly that you are not the girl who will sweep him off his feet, and when you had told him that he is everything that you don't want in a man, then there's no point lingering to each other. You are each other's passing phase, an experiment among the many, a stepping stone to self-discovery and growth, and a friend in a relationship that only you two can define.

Yes, he's been in your life for a long time already. Through distance and time, you were able to sustain whatever relationship you have. But it's simple: you're either in or you're out. There's no in-between. You cannot invest emotionally. When you talk about your long-term plans, both of you are not in each other's future.

It was good while it last. Some really good thing happen in our life and  nobody else has to know. He's one of those good things. I know you did your part to stay away from him. There was also a time when you realized you cannot do it on your own, that you cannot let go on your own. But it wasn't enough. You needed to hear from him that he does not want you, that it's better for him to forget you, and that he wants you to go away. But you never heard him say these things. In fact, he always reaches out. And you were always too willing to accept him all the time. Well, you have to stop now. Do this for yourself. You don't deserve him. You don't deserve someone who will only be there for the "fun". You deserve someone who could actually imagine you growing old with him. You deserve someone who will be there for you forever. Someone who will take care of your heart and only your heart.
