A Discovery Of Self

“Difficult relationships come into our lives for a reason. No one would choose them, certainly. But if we let them, they can teach us how to be flexible with others and more forgiving.”

“Actions speak louder than words. Next time someone tries to convince you that they care, look at what they do, not what they say.”

“Perhaps the problem is not the intensity of your love but the quality of the people you are loving.”

“I’m proud of my heart. It’s been played, stabbed, cheated, burned, and broken, but somehow it still works.”

“I missed you in a small way. Tiny enough to fold up and put in my pocket, and carry that loneliness with me everywhere I went. I’d forget all about you, until my hand accidentally brushed against that slip of memory.”

“Don’t give them a taste of their own medicine. They already know what it tastes like. Give them a taste of your own medicine. If they lied, let your medicine be honesty. If they played with your emotions, let your medicine be maturity. Don’t be afraid to be yourself, even if it means removing yourself from lives that you want to be in. You are, no doubt, worthy of being valued for who you are. So be who you are.”

“I stopped explaining myself when I realized people only understand from their level of perception.”

“Don’t you dare shrink yourself for someone else’s comfort. Do not become small for people who refuse to grow.”

“Just because you’re angry doesn’t mean you have the right to be cruel.”
