  • "You will find that each relationship you're in and the hardships that come from them are the building blocks for being able to handle almost any situation in your future relationships.

No use being miserable over someone who's happy without you."

  • “ We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative.

We are made up of layers, cells, constellations. — Anaïs Nin

  • "You have to wait for the someone who sees you, and I mean really, truly sees you. Sees all your quirks and your flaws and the cracks in your facade and still loves you and gives you records and maybe goes to the park with you on Sundays to sit on the swings. Listen — this person will find you, but you have to wait. That’s the important distinction there. They will find you. So live your life, and be happy, and stop looking all the time."

  • "I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or dehumanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
  • "Forget the risk, and take the fall. If it’s what you want, than it’s worth it all."
