loving & fighting

“It’s okay to leave someone who doesn’t see the light that you see in yourself.”

“And no one will listen to us until we listen to ourselves.”

“How long they choose to love you will never be your decision.”

“What do you say when you’re not enough to make someone stay? What do you do when you meet the love of your life and realize it’s all about timing? How do you accept that no matter how perfect you are for each other, circumstances get in the way? How do you compete with that kind of fate?”

“Sometimes suffering is just suffering. It doesn’t make you stronger. It doesn’t build character. It only hurts.”

…many people feel that they do not have a clue as to how to love. (…) It is far easier to talk about loss than it is to talk about love. It is easier to articulate the pain of love's absence than to describe its presence and meaning in our lives.
