What do you want to be remembered for?

It takes a special and patient kind of person to love me. But when they do, I love them back.

He’s not that busy, and he definitely saw the text or heard his phone ringing. Non-assholes either text or call you back in a timely manner or give an honest reason as to why they can’t or won’t. Assholes don’t bother.

We’d be an odd and unlikely pair, but I bet everyone would root for us. We’d probably fall apart, but I bet I’d never regret you.

Every story is different. What worked for one person may not work for another, and there’s no big, groundbreaking secret to obtaining career clarity and success.

I was done wasting my own time and breaking my own heart. I was done apologizing for having feelings and standards for how to be treated. I was done sabotaging myself and dragging him down with me.

If someone thinks caring makes you clingy, dump their ass and find someone who appreciates your rare and beautiful soul.

Love rarely hits you like a bolt of lightning. Some of the best and most successful relationships started slowly and with little to no expectation. A slow and steady burn is so much more romantic than something that hits you all at once.

Thank you for fulfilling my lifelong dream of having a sister.

I will not entertain thoughts of quitting before I’ve even tried. That’s madness.

I don’t know how to love lightly. I’m not even entirely sure that I know how to do anything lightly.

Boundaries are essential, especially in almost relationships. You don’t owe a single thing to a person who hasn’t committed to you yet (or won’t commit to you at all).

Every piece of your story molds you into the person you are meant to become. Without pain, we cannot appreciate joy. Without struggles, we cannot appreciate success.

If you were given an opportunity to sit across from me, look me in the eye, and open the floodgates to an honest discussion, would you take it?

It’s hard wanting more, but knowing better than to seek it. It’s hard maintaining an expectation-free, non-attachment relationship with someone I expect things from and feel attached to.
