1. do not hate them for it, they're on your journey too.
2. understand that sometimes you will be a bandage caressing a temporary wound or you will be a pinnacle of permanency rooted deeply in their heart. Accept that you do this to people too.
3. Do not step on your feet trying to find a rhythm you're not meant to follow.
4. Do not let it harden you, continue to love.
5. People use words as anchors to latch onto bits of you and when they leave remind yourself that the sea never bled itself dry because a ship left it.
6. Write the nastiest letter and burn it.
7. Yes, they may have illuminated pieces of you that you were unaware existed. But now you do and they're not the last person to remind you.
8. Dizzy yourself with everything you love.
9. Set all that anger ablaze, you're wasting your time sifting through it.
10. Internalize the fact that you were still breathing before you met them.
11. Forgive them. :)
