But beyond all that I hope you fall in love with someone who will never leave you behind and who will never take you for granted. Someone who will stand by you when you’re right and stand by you when you’re wrong. Someone who has seen you at your worst and loves you still.

I hope you find someone who sends you messages when they don’t know whether to get coffee or tea at Starbucks. And I hope that person shares their cookies with you when they only have one left in the jar. I hope they buy you pizza when you’re having a crappy day and listen to you complain about the scripts in television shows that didn’t go according to your ways. I hope you find someone whose kisses make you forget you were ever upset in the first place. And I hope that person holds you like the one would hold an antique vase. I hope the first thing they see in a crowd is your face and I hope they find you in everyone else they meet.

"I learned the hard way that I cannot always count on others to respect my feelings, even if I respect theirs. Being a good person doesn’t guarantee that others will be good people, too.

"I love being free, it's the best way to be." ~Anon

"I love when you become so close with someone, that you can see parts of each other in one another. You begin to say the same things, steal lines from each other and have a similar sense of humor. You can exchange an inside joke with just a glance. You don’t even have to talk because you have such a strong connection with them. You can sit in comfortable silence but also talk for hours. It’s really hard to find that kind of compatibility." ~Anon

"I love you but I’m mad at you is one of the most freeing, important things you can say in a stable relationship or in a friendship. To know that you have the ability and the right to be mad at someone and know that it doesn’t mean things are over, that it doesn’t mean things are irreparable. That it just means I’m mad, but I still love you. I love you but for now, I need "alone" time until I cool off." ~Anon

"I miss the days when you could actually have an opinion without offending somebody." ~Anon

"I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I’ve become arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in my life where I do not want to waste more time with what degrades me or hurts me. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of any nature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those who do not love me. I no longer spend a single minute on those who lie or want to manipulate. I decided not to coexist anymore with pretense, hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping. I hate conflict and comparisons. In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal." ~Anon

"If someone wants for its beauty, it's not love, it is desire. If you want someone for their intelligence, it's not love, it is admiration. If you want someone because it is rich, it's not love, it is interest. If you want someone and not know why, that is love." ~Anon

"If you’re looking for a happy ending and can’t seem to find one, maybe it’s time to start looking for a new beginning. Brush yourself off and accept that sometimes life can be difficult. That’s how you learn. The strongest people out there – the ones who laugh the hardest with a genuine smile – are the same people who have fought the toughest battles. They’re smiling because they’ve decided that they’re not going to let anything hold them down, they’re moving on to a new beginning." ~Anon

“If you’re not happy, then something is wrong. A person comes into the world as a happy being, yet over time, the happiness fades away and they find themselves in this bubble of anxiety and misery all the time. And it’s a comfortable place to stay, so they end up hanging out in this bubble for years and years before it suddenly dawns on them that life is meant to be happy. And, it is. It’s just that they’re too busy getting caught up in worry and stress to notice that life is magnificent and beautiful. Being alive is good. Being alive should already make you happy.” ~Anon

"In the end…It’s not about who broke your heart. It's about who mended it. It's not about the times you put your self esteem in the hands of others. But instead, the days where you knew worth. It’s not about those who let you down, but rather those who always held you up. It’s not about the many people who desired you. It’s about the ones that valued you.
