Things and people are not what we wish them to be nor what they seem to be. They are what they are.

People don't write sonnets about being compatible, or novels about shared life goals and stimulating conversation. The great loves are the crazy ones.

If you have the ability to love, love yourself first.

Liebe ist alles was unser Leben steigert, erweitert. Nach allen Höhen und Tiefen. Die Liebe ist so unproblematisch wie ein Fahrzeug. Problematisch sind nur die Lenker, die Fahrgäste und die Straße.

If you believe someone is meant for you, then never fear letting go. Because what's decreed by God does not have to be tightly cupped within your palms nor does it have to be caged. You don't have to be possessive or compete over it, nor do you have to fear it slipping away. If it's yours, if it's for you, if it was written in the books of the Almighty for you, then rest reassured it will be yours. But if it's not for you, you will notice that no matter what you do, how you go about it, what you do differently- it just never works out. And in a remarkable way, it's a Blessing. While it elicts short-term sadness, it's really just God communicating to you that better is coming. That your destiny is coming. And you need  to let go to make space for it.
