As much as I try, I’m learning that I can’t control the outcome of my life. I can mold and shape it to match as closely to my dreams as I can, but the future will always remain uncertain.

Love is a powerful game that only the strongest survive.

If you are currently wrestling with your heart on where you stand in a relationship, just know that when you really care about someone, there will always be sparks.

It is okay to not feel beautiful all the time.

Although it’s still difficult whenever a Facebook memory appears on my feed of the time I spent with numerous ex-boyfriends and former besties, I cherish those moments but don’t regret going our separate ways.

If today was your last day, would you be remembered as a kind soul?

How long is too long to wait to make other plans? When you had a special evening planned together, but he is nowhere to be found?

What makes you jump when your phone rings, hoping it is him on the other end?

After months of doting on a relationship, I needed a break, mentally and emotionally. I just didn’t realize how much of a break I really needed.

Start believing that you are worthy, powerful, vibrant, unbreakable. Make the words that come out when looking in the mirror motivational and loving.

Your heart will never steer you wrong as long as you pay attention to its cues.

There is no timetable to when and how a relationship should blossom.

She wants to know your story. Who are you? What struggles have turned you into the man you are today?

I think it is important to take time in between lovers to reshape your vision of what you want and to discover more about yourself.

Not a day goes by that the memories of what was and the thought of what could have been are not etched in my mind.
