Self-control is strength. Calmness is mastery. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn't shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don't allow others to control the direction of your life. Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.

May your life be defined by how deeply you love, what you create, and how fully you live, not just what you had to heal from.

i think the purest form of love is just wanting someone to notice life with you. "taste this. look at that. hear this." again and again. until you can't imagine noticing life without them.

They say "don't cross oceans for people who wouldn't cross a puddle for you", but I say nahhh, do it. Cross those oceans, give people your light. How lucky are we to have hearts that are so full of love to give? Allow others the chance to experience you. It's about what you give, not what you gain in return.
