Beautiful things don’t ask for attention.

Be with someone who will take care of you. Not materialistically, but take care of your soul, your well being, your heart.

I love you, because I have seen your soul.

Forgive the past. It is over. Learn from it and let go. People are constantly changing and growing. Do not cling to a limited, disconnected, negative image of a person in the past. See that person now. Your relationship is always alive and changing.

Those who really love you don’t mean to hurt you and if they do, you can’t see it in their eyes, but it hurts them too.

I wonder how many people I’ve looked at all my life and never seen.

When something bothered me, I didn’t talk with anyone about it. I thought it over all by myself, came to a conclusion, and took action alone. Not that I really felt lonely. I thought that’s just the way things are. Human beings, in the final analysis, have to survive on their own.

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

After all, how often do we get a second chance?

You are your own best friend. Never, ever, put yourself down.

I like people who dream or talk to themselves interminably; I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.

We agreed to love each other madly.

I heard what you said. I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.
