"Who do you think you are to meddle in other people's family affairs? Why don't you mind your own business and stop staring at someone else’s wife! You know I can’t produce the documents, so you intentionally try to stir crap. I think the one who took the documents must be you!"

“But he failed, Sutton. He failed miserably. In case you haven’t noticed, the pack has rallied behind you because of it. A few other pack leaders, too. So, if there’s anyone keeping you from a normal life, it’s you. And you want to know what I think, I think you know it. You’re running from it.” That seemed to knock some of the wind out of her. Her expression turned to shock and her shoulders fell. “You… you don’t know what you’re talking about,” she argued weakly. “I don’t?” I asked. “You’re self-sabotaging, Sutton.

Tshepo began documenting his journey in a journal, tracking both setbacks and small victories. He wrote about mornings when he resisted temptation, nights when he spent quality time with family instead of chasing empty thrills, and moments of clarity where he recognized patterns of self-sabotage.

He answered with confusion, “I really don’t know, and this never happens to me!” I looked at it, and without waiting for anything, I then said, “The truth, maybe you’re right, but it doesn’t matter if I’m sabotaging myself. I don’t see the use of love, and I don’t understand what it is!”

You must not even have any emotion at all. Do you even know what you've done, how badly you hurt me by invading my privacy? Look, I have had enough, leave my house!” I am done for. In a flash I'm about to lose the life I worked so hard to gain. Who is to blame? Me. The life I had struggled to build for myself was the same structure I had brought down with an axe. How have I succeeded in self sabotaging myself?

He is sweet and kind and drop dead gorgeous and treats you like a princess and for reasons best known to your stupid brain, you choose to stick your tongue down the throat of the one man that ripped your heart out in front of the whole world and walked away without looking back!" "I know. It's stupid." "It is not stupid. It's dumb. You are literally sabotaging your own happiness. Why are you trying to sabotage your happiness?" Suzie's face was red with anger. This right here was why I didn't tell her as soon as it happened, even though I had desperately needed someone to talk to about it. I knew she would rip me apart and leave me with nothi

Boo stopped rocking himself but he kept sobbing, his face still hidden in his knees. "Forgive yourself for what you didn't know before you learned it." I told him a quote I remembered reading from the author Maya Angelou. "You couldn't have known what she was thinking at that time, Boo. You have to try and free yourself of the guilt."

I'd sunk into a well of self pity and despair. I hated myself, and I hated how I constantly self sabotaged. Emily was the one prize that all my efforts so far were supposed to achieve, yet, somehow, I end up messing with everything. “Stop.” She said, putting a finger on my lips. I couldn't believe what had just happened. I stared at her, eyes wide open. Suddenly, she became too self aware and took her hand down. “Did I just remind you of how dangerous I am?” I asked.

- Caitlin Cooper ************************************ The line from this quote "when you're broken you need to be reborn" resembles me so much.

I did not know how to save myself from the damage that was done to me; I could not even see the shore to survive or land; I was too into the depth of the water to be saved. The only person that can keep myself from going insane was only me; Only. Me. I. was the only one now who can rescue myself from the detriment I was going to foist upon myself.

She annoys me so much. “The second one is sad for you. I just find it depressing that no matter how hard you try. You can never do right by you.
