Keep Calm and Read Some Quotes

So my mood is improving with each passing day. I don't have time to be sad or hurt over someone who wasted my time.

However, there are so many quotes out there that describe my current state of mind. Some come from songs, others were found on tumblr. I just thought I'd share them with ya'll. Feel free to borrow any, I only request that you mention my blog in the process :-)

Red lipstick, rose pedals, heartbreak, I was his Marilyn Monroe

Sometimes the way you think about a person isn't the way they actually are

The best revenge is just moving on and getting over it. Don't give someone the pleasure of watching you suffer

I thought I lost you somewhere, but you were never really ever there at all
And I just want to tell you, that it takes everything in me not to call you;
And I wish I could run to you;
And I hope you know that every time I don't;
I almost do, I almost do

There was a difference between what you said and what you did

If you're going to leave my life, at least close the door behind you

There was a time I thought, that you did everything right; No lies, no wrong; Boy I must've been out of my mind

So when I think of the time that I almost loved you; You showed your ass and I, I saw the real you

You don't deserve my tears, I guess that's why they ain't there

What goes around comes back around

Thank God I found the good in goodbye

Cause honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had

Relationships: Letting Go and Closure

So the past few days have been pretty tough for me. Well actually the past month is when everything really started to go downhill. My boyfriend started these "disappearing acts." But he always had a believable excuse. Well last week was different, he admitted to his lies and the truth finally came out. Or so I thought.

Well now I'm sitting here confused because he decided to "disappear" on Valentine's Day for a week. But we spoke that morning and everything seemed okay with us. Not to mention, he had really been sweet and attentive all last week. Next thing you know, he blocks me on Facebook and Instagram and poof he's gone.

Could this be his way of ending things? I'm going to assume so. Especially since I still have yet to hear from him. And I don't think I will.

Overall, I have mixed feelings about the whole incident. I wish he would've manned up and said he didn't want to be together anymore. But he gave me no reason to believe that. Especially since he would go out of his way to prove his innocence and trust. He swore there was no one else. I just want some closure but I don't think I will get that from him.

I'm naive to think that all people are good. Because at the end of the day, niggas really ain't shit.

Shoutout to the "Shake It Off: R&B Kiss Offs" station on Songza. Some songs have really been helping me let go and find closure.

Valentine's Day and Relationships

February brings the most annoying holiday -- Valentine's Day. Of course it's cute to have a day to spoil and pamper your significant other, but is a holiday really necessary? I find it more meaningful when it's more random. When I told my bf this theory, he questioned whether I would still expect something despite my feelings about this holiday.  My response -- You damn straight! I mean ignoring Valentine's Day would be like ignoring Christmas, it's still a holiday. Even though it's more of a scam to get people to buy overpriced flowers and chocolate. 

But anyway.

How do you celebrate Valentine's Day when you're in a new relationship? And by new, I mean barely 2 months in. I've been trying to figure this out all month. My fear is that I will go all out and he won't. But whatever, that's the difference between males and females.  I would really be content with some flowers and/or a box of chocolate or something original. I just rather not go out to eat. As a server, I find that to be very cliche.

Do you have some suggestions? Let me know....
