When you break someone's heart, you also break your own.

Here's another part of what might be a new series on my blog. Me talking about quotes I love and why they mean something to me. This one will be about pushing people away, being scared and trying not to need anybody. It's about love, loss and trying to change.



I took the following quotes from Cassia Leo's book Pieces Of You.

The quickest path to self-destruction is to push away the people you love.

I'm really good at that. I push people away because it's easier than trusting them first and get disappointed in the end. It's easier to push them away when you expect them to leave anyway. Getting too attached to someone always turned out to be a big mistake. I tried over and over again to trust people but I just can't. People always leave or put you second when they find someone better. I often think that things would be easier if I'd let people in and I really try but there are just a few ones I really trust.
I try to take the quote to heart because I know it won't make me happy to push people away in the long run.
There are people I wish I never pushed away, but I did. There are things in life you can never unmake, I wish I could.

I was drowning when I met you. I was barely breathing until you saved me. 

Sometimes you can't save yourself and you need someone else to do it. Sometimes you need someone to show you the bright sides of life again. Someone who will make you laugh and shiver in all the best ways, when all you wanna do is cry. You need someone who will show you the way back to the surface. 

The biggest mistake you made was loving me enough to let me go.

You meet someone, you trust him with all of your secrets, you get scared to get disappointed, you push him away, over and over again, until he leaves.

There is so much more I could say about these quotes, but that's it for now. I don't want it to be too personal, I think the quotes say it all.
