“If you ignore your feelings they will get your attention in other ways.”

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

“And I can’t be running back and forth forever between grief and high delight.”

“No, you’re not wrong to expect a love that respects and values you for the person you are. You’re wrong to expect anything less.”

“Take all the time you need to heal emotionally. Moving on doesn’t take a day. It takes a lot of little steps to be able to break free of your broken self.”

“Be a good person, but don’t waste time to prove it.”

“Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.”
