my mom told me.. “a person who values you, wouldn’t ever put themselves in a position to lose you.” and that really hit deep.

So please ask yourself: What would I do if I weren’t afraid? And then go do it.

Sheryl Sandberg, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead (via wordsnquotes) |
you said. if it is meant to be. fate will bring us back together. for a second i wonder if you are really that naive. if you really believe fate works like that. as if it lives in the sky staring down at us. as if it has five fingers and spends its time placing us like pieces of chess. as if it is not the choices we make. who taught you that. tell me. who convinced you. you’ve been given a heart and a mind that isn’t yours to use. that your actions do not define what will become of you. i want to scream and shout ‘it’s us you fool. we’re the only ones that can bring us back together.’ but instead i sit quietly. smiling softly through quivering lips thinking. isn’t it such a tragic thing. when you can see it so clearly but the other person doesn’t.
