Look at what you want to perpetuate to other people, when you yourself can’t find the words. What strikes you most is who you are.

If something were to happen that would cause you to lose all of your past memories permanently, who would you be?

We’re all at war with each other in our own little ways, literally gathering guns and metaphorically building cages within our own minds. I’m here to tell you that anything that makes you reach for weaponry for a sense of comfort somehow, somewhere along the line, has to do with fear.

The relationships we thought would never end did. All the hopes we had of spending forever with someone were crushed and so were we. We had a period of rejection-induced-loathing-filled-misery. We sought all the advice there is to seek.

More than anything, I wish that someone would have told me that the only person I was looking to please was me. I was the problem and I was the answer all along.

You can’t control what you born into. You can, however, control who you keep in your life.

You can’t let go because you’re worried that if you do, what you’re so desperately hoping for will fall apart. I have news for you. You’re tearing it down yourself. Make way for the bigger, the better, the reckoning, the miraculous and the beautiful. It’s ready for you when you are.

Like they conclude, there are physiological and psychological components, but science doesn’t know how or why love works, but we know that it’s real, and we all know when we feel it. Amen, scientific people.

Beautiful are the people who allow their bodies to be their temples and canvases, and who create their outer beings to reflect their inner. Beautiful are the people who hurt and feel insecure and make mistakes—but rise above, and find confidence and admit when they’re wrong.

It only takes 10 seconds of courage to change everything, or to start something that will.

There are a thousand different reasons people get (and stay) together and some of them can be the farthest thing from love. If this is your truth, change it. Go love who you actually love. If you don’t know who that is yet, keep living, they will come.

Life is unimaginably short and passes even faster than that; there will be enough average things in your life. Don’t let love be one of them.
