Attraction is important but attraction without effort will get you nowhere.

I never felt like I was settling with you. I never felt like it was less than what I deserved.

Anything forced will always be temporary and anyone who diminishes your self-worth will never be the person who brings out the best in you.

Because people love you but they love themselves more. They care more about their image. They care more about their reputation and they’ll do whatever it takes to protect it even if it means throwing you under the bus.

Forgive yourself for the times you wanted someone more than they wanted you.

Taurus. You remember who you were before the relationship and the amazing life you had. You realize that you don’t need anyone in your life to make you feel better or complete you.

Moving on gets easier when you realize that this person may be extraordinary but still not right for you.

If it was right, you would have had the biggest smile on your face instead of these tears in your eyes.

At the end of the day, you can only trust yourself because people change, their priorities change, their feelings change and their love changes. You’re the only one truly capable of saving yourself from any rut you’re stuck in.

Someone who really wants you will try to understand where the problem is coming from, he will try to find answers, maybe a solution.

You stop comparing yourself to others because you believe that you have your own journey and that’s exactly what you should focus on.

Stop telling your friend that her standards are what’s keeping her from finding someone because she’d rather stay single than meet someone who can’t give her half of what she’s asking for.

I’m becoming really good at leaving, at lying to people, at keeping my distance from everyone I need close by.

To the friends that gave us the home we never had. They gave us comfort, they gave us security and they gave us love. They gave us a feeling we never felt before in our own homes.

I want you to remember the days you when you believed it wasn’t you. When you didn’t blame yourself for someone’s inability to love you. 

I just want you to know that I’ll always be here for you. Across different oceans, within different time zones, in cities I never even heard of, I’ll always be there for you. You’ll always have me.

Family is important but so are you.

Love doesn’t just leave. Love doesn’t poison you. Love doesn’t make you never want to love again.
