“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”

Take a chance on faith. Not religion, but faith. Not hope, but faith. I don’t believe in hope. Hope is a beggar. Hope walks through the fire, and faith leaps over it.

Nobody will ever love you exactly the way you want them to - You just have to let them do their best

What I have with you, I don’t want with anyone else.

You punish yourself for being yourself.

The best way I can love you is by not losing myself in you, but growing with you.

I love you, that means I’m not just here for the pretty parts. I’m here no matter what.

When I loved myself enough, I began leaving whatever wasn’t healthy. This meant people, jobs, my own beliefs and habits—anything that kept me small. My judgement called it disloyal. Now I see it as self-loving.

Your mind is not a cage. It’s a garden. And it requires cultivating.

The trick of love is that it is a decision as much as a feeling.

And you laugh like you’ve never been lonely. You laugh like there’s hope in the story.

Happiness is not the absence of problems, it’s the ability to deal with them.”

You made me happy when I should have been miserable. You were the only person who could reach me, and maybe that scared me. You accepted me—broken and faulty.
