It can be hard enough to convince ourselves we’re enough – the last thing we need is to convince our partner we’re enough.

Your time is too valuable for you to waste it being miserable.

That is the most important thing to remember – you will be okay again, without him.

You can’t force love, you can’t force relationships and you can’t force people to like you. If someone doesn’t appreciate you for who you are then they aren’t the right person for you anyway.

Be single! Spend time alone, get to know yourself, become confident in your own skin, take care of yourself for once and kick ass in your own life.

We’re given this unlimited freedom to take literally any path in the world and there’s no direction or guidance. We become so overwhelmed by options and choices that we don’t know exactly what to do, so most of us settle.

We use people that we think can help get us ahead. We become self-obsessed monsters and we don’t care who we hurt in the way as long as we’re satisfied.

Instead of acknowledging you’re the reason you’re stuck you blame other people.

You are only in your 20s once. You will never, ever get this time back. One day someone will wake up at their dead-end job still doing errands for their boss and realize “I wasted my life” – don’t be that guy.

I convince myself that I can suffer through discomfort just to make someone else a little more comfortable.

Don’t stay on a path that doesn’t fill your soul with inspiration because you feel like it’s what you’re supposed to do. Screw what you’re supposed to do and do what you were born to do.

You don’t need someone to complete you, you don’t need someone to heal your heart, you don’t need someone to make your world turn because you can make your own world turn.

“If people pressure you to do things that make you uncomfortable they’re not people you want in your life.” – Rachel, 28

I’ve spent so much time being told I’m not enough the way I am that I’ve forgotten what it feels like to be appreciated.

You hurt him in the process because you’re only worrying about yourself. You don’t care if you lead him on or break his heart as long as yours isn’t breaking, and that’s the problem.

You are a wonderful, lovable human and you should be treated as such.

We have to pull it together even when we want to break down. We have to smile even when we’re on the verge of tears. We have to act like everything is okay even when it isn’t.

My biggest fault is that I always see the best in people; I think I can change them and save them, even when they don’t need to be saved. I think I can be the one to unlock their heart but I can’t – there’s nothing special about me.
