Love makes you want to be better…But maybe love, real love, also gives you permission to just be the…[person] you are.

No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater…The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that’s the key. It’s like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot.

The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it…

I have never prayed for you to come back to me. Why? Because I prayed for you to have happiness. And I wasn’t that.

Lost is a lovely place to find yourself.

And I began to let him go. Hour by hour. Days into months. It was a physical sensation, like letting out the string of a kite. Except that the string was coming from my center.

Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, ‘It might have been.’

Even so, I must admire your skill. You are so gracefully insane.

Don’t ever become so consumed with someone else that you forget your own existence.

When you meet someone who tries their hardest to stick by you regardless of how difficult you are, keep them. Keep them at all costs because finding someone who cares enough to look past your flaws isn’t something that happens every day.

People think that if you love somebody hard enough then everything is just gonna work out. People are wrong.

Please understand that I was in pain. I never meant to ruin things. I never meant to ruin us.
