Time heals everything. Eventually our pain will go away, our mistakes will be forgiven, our hearts will mend and our minds will find peace.

Relationships are a lot like algebra. Have you ever looked at your X and wondered Y?

You don’t like asking for help even when you need it.

Maybe we need to disappear to see who will care to find us, who will care to bring us back to life, who will wonder about us and who will wish we never find our way back.

Lists are not for people. People are not meant to fit into check boxes because they change and they have flaws. Finding someone who checks off all items on your list is nearly impossible.

You have a love-hate relationship with your brain. You love it because it gives you the reality check you need and you hate it because it holds you back from being who you really are.

Just as the leaves change so does the energy of our homes.

When did you realize that ‘we’ just don’t make sense anymore?

You don’t consult as many people as you used to before making a decision, you can actually trust your gut now.

It’s certainty in an uncertain world and stability in an unstable world.

You’re not progressive about the relationship. You are complacent, you don’t want it to move too fast – or maybe at all. You don’t nurture it to grow or evolve. You don’t put in the effort to propel the relationship forward.

Because I never misled you. I never told you I was ready when I wasn’t, I never promised you something I didn’t fulfill. I never talked about a future I didn’t see, and I never played with your heart or your mind.

Live like life never disappointed us, like pain didn’t change us, like we didn’t grow up or learn, like we are still innocent kids believing that life will turn out exactly the way we want it to.

Each new day is an opportunity to write a new story; a blank page to start over and begin writing a new chapter. You have pages to fill with your own words. You have sentences to live by and characters to support your story.

I want to waste the best years of my life making memories with you.

You can meet the love of your life.

Just because something good ends, doesn’t mean something better won’t begin.

Your calm held back my storms and your wisdom cured my insanity.
