To My Lover:

I don’t want perfect. I want honest. And I don’t need luxuries, if you can give time.

Beware of Narcissists

 Some people only care about themselves. The only time they care about you is when you fit into the image that they’ve already constructed of themselves.Watch out for these people. Ego maniacs and narcissists can’t form real relationships. No amount of love on your part will change that.

Paul Got it Right!

“You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae.” – Paul Walker

Paul got it right. Life is defined by our relationships. Love hard.

How To Find the Love of Your Life

If you are looking for the love of your life, stop. They will be waiting for you when you start doing the things that you love.

How To Love

If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because when you pick it up, it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.

The Beginning of Love

“The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them”

― Thomas Merton

Wishbone vs. Backbone

“Stop wearing your wishbone wear your backbone ought to be.”

One of my very favorite quotes from Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat Pray Love. We all do this far too often, especially in relationships.

Love The One You’re With

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
