If an “almost relationship” has taught me anything, it’s that I hold control over my own happiness. 

Maybe I should apologize now for how difficult I will be. I hope you realize it is not because I want to.

Wait for a love that gives you strength in the hardest of times, rather than kicks you while you’re down.

The transformation will be that of night and day.

You find strength in your independence.

When you love yourself, you have a new found confidence that allows you to say whatever is on your mind. If you don’t agree with something, you say so. You won’t be afraid to tell your manager what you want or what you’d like to eventually do. You speak up for the raise you have been wanting. When you are interested in somebody, you tell them.
