You Want Him, But He’s Not What You Need

He’s comfortable, he’s what you’ve known, he’s what you want. But he’s not what you need. Because he’s a man who cannot give his full self to you; he’s a man who can’t commit.

If Nothing Else, Smile

Smile. Not because your life is perfect and everything is together and all your pain is healed, but because you are alive, and that is enough.
