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.

I didn’t feel the connection I read about having. I didn’t feel sparks fly, even though I felt nerves when I saw you or turned down the dirt road leading to your driveway.

Give up alcohol and try drinking more water. You probably need to anyway.

You start to think about what’s next. You start to picture yourself in different places. You mindlessly start scrolling through job searches in random towns just to see what you can find.

The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is not giving up. If you fail, try again. Ask for help and get feedback from whoever is willing to give it to you.

Your trust is gone. It felt like it was just ripped away from you without warning, almost like the sharp pain of a paper cut slicing open your finger, but a million times worse. It’s just gone.

You can say you’re sorry until you’re blue in the face, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you mean it. Until you no longer repeat those actions you apologized for that will be when you are truly sorry.
