You actually commit to doing things together. You take vacations. You meet the family. You show up when you say you will.

Never, ever underestimate how powerful you are. Having a big heart is your strength.

Because when you’re the happy person, when you’re the smiley social butterfly, no one expects you to be hurting inside.

I’m sorry you’re disappointed. I’m sorry you feel poorly. But you need to respect her silence. Back off.

Cancer: You’re so stunned, you just start crying.

I didn’t think I deserved a love like yours because, honestly, I didn’t think a love like yours happened.

Logically, you know to let him go. You know wanting someone who caused so much pain isn’t rational.

I mean I want your every inch. I want every patch of skin and nerve ending and muscle contraction.

It requires leaping without looking. It means being scared, but going for it anyway. It means knowing things might not work out, but giving it a shot.

It’s okay to fail in love. It’s okay to do something that embarrasses you, to double text, to ask someone out and have them reject you.

For whatever reason, the one who got away didn’t stay. The one who got away didn’t come back. The one who got away…got away.

You can’t convince someone to care. You can’t persuade them to look at you the way you look at them.
