“

What I learned long ago and eventually started to believe is that you cannot lose what is yours.

“

We’ve all heard the old adage “The right thing at the wrong time is still the wrong thing.”

“

Be comfortable being you and you will find there are people who like you for you. It is time to start believing in yourself, and you will see that others do too.  

“

Now I see that being scared of rejection is just another fight or flight reaction.

“

I hate defaulting to “I have a boyfriend” because it implies that my rejection isn’t reason enough for a man to leave me alone.

“

We may not fully understand why things had to happen the way they did. But who knows? Your rejection could be making way for something better.

“

When people tell us not to take things personally, it’s always easier said than done.

“

He doesn’t like you back so you’re going to swear off dating forever? You’re going to lock away your heart and refuse to let anyone close to you? You’re going to convince yourself you’re better off alone? 

“

You aren’t as unlovable as you feel.

“

Get your heart broken. Get your hopes up and watch them come tumbling down.
