• One day someone is going to hug you so tight that all of your broken pieces will stick back together

— Anon

• Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
• Love who you love while you have them. That's all you can do. Let them go when you must. If you know how to love, you'll never run out.
• People's souls are like gardens. You can't turn your back on someone because his garden's full of weeds. You have to give him water and lots of sunshine.
• It doesn't matter what happened in the past, you can still do what you want now and change where you go in the future. People redeem themselves everyday. it doesn't matter who you were, you control who you are today. No matter who you used to be, you can still become the person you want to be.
• Her eyes seemed as if the stars were bottled and shining within her irises. Her smile seemed as if the moons crescent had been put between her lips. Her laugh sounded like a symphony composed of the most heart-warming sounds put together. But most importantly, her mind was the most beautiful thing I've ever encountered. Her thoughts were a rope, reeling me deeper and deeper in love with her.
• For what it's worthL it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before, I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.
• And maybe soulmates don't exist but regardless of that our atoms collided in ways that they'll never collide again. And you ruined me. Oh god how you ruined me. You ruined me with your soft eyes and kind words and no matter how hard I try to forget, there'll always be a gap in my heart where your atoms once settled.
• I wish I had a someone who would observe me silently, who would capture all my habits, and quirks, and still love me. Someone that would get lost in how my fine features define my face, while smiling and crying, and still love me.
• There's a corner of my heart that is yours. And I don't mean for now, or until I've found somebody else. I mean forever. I mean to say that whether I fall in love a thousand times over or once or never again, there'll always be a quiet place in my heart that belongs only to you.
• It's okay to cry, it's okay to be sad about it. It's okay to miss him, and it's okay to wish you did something differently. But never blame yourself for how things turned out. Never tell yourself you can't do better, and never tell yourself this is the end of the road. Fate has a time and place for all of us and nothing you can do or say will change that. Sure, it's okay to fall, but it's never okay to stay down.
• One day someone will hug you so tight that all of your broken pieces will stick back together.
• "When people say you've changed, smile and nod. Agree with them. Because it's true: you have. Everyday, we're all constantly changing, learning from our past mistakes and growing stronger as individuals. It's inevitable and at the end of the day it's almost always for the better. I can guarantee you there isn't a single person in the world that hasn't changed. You are not who you used to be and that's OK. You've been hurt; you've gone through numerous ups an downs that have made you who you are today. Over this year so many things have happened - things that have changed my perspective, taugh me lessons and forced my spirit to grow. As time passes, nobody stays the same, but some people will still tell you that you have changed. Respond to them by realising that of course you've changed. That's what life is all about. I'm still the same human being, just a little stronger now than I ever were before."
