When you allow yourself to feel Hurt

“To be rejected by someone doesn't mean you should also reject yourself or that you should think of yourself as a lesser person. It doesn't mean that nobody will ever love you anymore. Remember that only ONE person has rejected you at the moment, and it only hurt so much because to you, that person's opinion symbolized the opinion of the whole world, of God.” ~ Jocelyn Soriano

“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.” ~ Dalai Lama XIV

Dear Heart, it is good to feel the wonderful emotions, but don’t overdo it when you are hurt or else you will get sick too. You will get tired easily to perform your duties. In the end you will be the one to suffer most. I may suffer stress from your depression but it will just make you weaker. Your Brain! ~ Ghie Morales 

Dear Brain – if you do not allow yourself to feel your emotions, it can make you sick.

When you know it’s true love?

“It is so hard to leave—until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world.”~ John Green

“Every time we make the decision to love someone, we open ourselves to great suffering, because those we most love cause us not only great joy but also great pain. The greatest pain comes from leaving. When the child leaves home, when the husband or wife leaves for a long period of time or for good, when the beloved friend departs to another country or dies … the pain of the leaving can tear us apart. Still, if we want to avoid the suffering of leaving, we will never experience the joy of loving. And love is stronger than fear, life stronger than death, hope stronger than despair. We have to trust that the risk of loving is always worth taking.” ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen

Feelings may never leave, but you still need to move on to better things.

Lots of people who love you leave. Why? Cowardice. Maybe they are married to someone else and they don’t want the drama & expense of divorce. Maybe their family does not approve. Maybe they have religious differences. These are what’s called taking the easy way out. ~ Carrie McClure 

You know it's Love when your feelings don't leave even if the person does.
