Their biggest (and only) fault is that they leave us too quickly. They come into our lives for a short period of time to teach us about love and they provide the best examples that no significant other can match.

Independence is liberating, it really is, but so is having someone there for you. Regardless of who it is, it’s about having someone by your side that you can rely on.

There are so many people living their lives in fear, there are so many people who don’t live out their dreams because of fear. Fear of failing, fear of not being good enough or maybe a combination of both.

Instead I still enjoyed the rain, I just enjoyed it in my own way, by myself. It was peaceful and different, a good kind of different that I needed.

Getting involved with someone would either leave me heartbroken when I left, knowing I wouldn’t be able to see him for months or possibly years.

She’s had plenty of people come into her life and leave unannounced. She might have feelings about certain things that she will compress until she is more comfortable around you because she doesn’t want to turn you off.

“I felt like I was washing my sins away.”

I’m in love with your thoughts, with the way you think deeply and take everything into consideration. The way your mind works intrigues me completely, you’re not an average person by any means and I love you for that.

With travel you have to accept that your life will never be whole again, because you will always leave pieces of your heart everywhere you go.

It’s so amazingly wonderful being told you’re good at doing something you love.

I thrive on new experiences, as often as possible. I thrive off of new conversations and new faces. I thrive off of doing things that scare the life out of me and change me for the better and make me feel a little more alive.

Ask someone how their day is going and genuinely listen to their response.

I am thankful to know what it feels like to love someone and have them not love me back because I know what it feels like to be truly cared about and appreciated.

True love shows generosity.

Between all those years, we don’t realize the relationships we let drift away and the contact we lose with people. When you are wrapped up in your own life and becoming your own person it is easy to grow without some of the people who might mean the most to you.

“My uncle was suppose to be in the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001 for a job interview, but he didn’t get the call back. He was so upset he didn’t get the job, but it was definitely a blessing in disguise.”

He will always stick up for you, as long as you aren’t in the wrong. He knows you pretty well; so he’ll obviously stand by your side over whoever else is going against you.
