"You do not have to be your mother, unless she is who you want to be. You do not have to be your mother's mother, or your mother's mother's mother, or even your grandmother's mother on your father's side. You may inherit their chins or their hips or their eyes, but you are not destined to become the women who came before you. You are not destined to live their lives. So if you inherit something, inherit their strength, their resilience. Because the only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be." ~Pam Finger, as seen in The Chicken Soup for the Soul, 2nd helping from Rainwater Designs

SAYINGS and WISDOM FROM A SAMURAI
A bad craftsman never made a perfect vase.
A frog in a well does not know the greatness of the sea.
A husband and wife should be similar to a hand and an eye: when one’s hand hurts, the eyes cry; and when the eyes cry, the hand wipes away one’s tears.
A long journey always begins with a short one.
Always make way for fools and madmen.
As soon as stones can swim, leaves will sink.
Ask a question and you feel shame for a moment. Not asking and not knowing means you will feel shame for your whole life.
Beautiful flowers do not bear good fruit.
Beginning is easy, continuing is hard.
Check seven times before ever doubting someone.
Cold tea and cold rice are tolerable; what is intolerable is a cold gaze and harsh words.
Do everything that you can and leave the rest to fate.
Do not hold back that which is departing; do not chase away that which is arriving.
Do not speak bad of yourself. For the warrior within hears your words and is lessened by them." ~Old Japanese Samurai Proverb
Even if a sword is only required once in a lifetime, it should be worn all the time.
Even monkeys can fall from their trees.
Excessive honesty often borders on stupidity.
Fast means going slowly without interruption.
Fear is only as deep as the mind allows.
Fortune will always come in to a house with laughter.
Grief, like a torn dress, should always be left at home.
Having taken the time to think, venture to act. Once you’ve done so, stop thinking.
He who drinks does not know the dangers of wine; he who doesn’t drink does not know its benefits.
He who endures for just half an hour longer than his opponent can achieve victory.
He who strongly desires to rise up will think of a way to build a ladder.
If a problem can be solved, then it’s not worth worrying about it. If it can’t be solved, then it’s useless to worry about it.
If a woman wants something, she’ll climb a mountain to get it.
If you do not enter the tiger’s cave, you will not catch its cub.
If you decide to set off on your own journey, you’ll find yourself alone for a thousand kilometers.
If you want to paint a branch, you have to hear the breath of the wind.
It is better to be the enemy of a good person than the friend of a bad one.
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
No one has ever stumbled whilst lying in bed.
The deepest rivers flow in silence.
The earth always hardens after the rain.
The sun does not know who is right or who is wrong. It shines without purpose and provides warmth to all.
There has never been a great individual who did not have ordinary people at their side.
When one is in love, even the scars left by smallpox are as beautiful as dimples on a person’s cheeks.

Quotes from EMOTIONAL FILMTRICKS
"A good man wipes away a woman's tears. But a great man listens to her story of why she's crying and hurting on the inside then he comforts and encourages her." ~from Emotional Filmtrucks
"A woman who truly loves You will get angry at You for many reasons, but will never leave You!" ~(Fact)
═══════════════
"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You’ll have your heart broken and you’ll break others’ hearts. You’ll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you’ll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you’ve never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone’s hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don’t be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back."═══════════════
"Fall in love with someone who wants you, who waits for you, who understands you even in the madness; someone who helps you, and guides you, someone who is your support, your hope. Fall in love with someone who talks with you after a fight. Fall in love with someone who misses you and wants to be with you. Do not fall in love only with a body or with a face; or with the idea of being in love." ~═══════════════
"It hurts when you realise you rejected other people for that one person who wasted your time... So painful. But not to worry; No matter how messed up you think you are, there will always be someone that loves you and still thinks you're amazing." ~Emotional Filmtricks
"Many people are forgetting how to communicate to their partners in their relationships. Instead of discussing and solving their problems with their partners, they share them with toxic friends, work associates and others post them on the internet. If your partner is doing something that bothers you, talk to him or her and stop letting facebook inboxes, likes, retweets ruin what you are trying to build... Beware of third Party!" ~Emotional Filmtricks
"Music is as timeless as the emotions that it carries." ~Ray Chen
"No matter how bad it hurts or how bad you feel, it’s time to stop thinking about that person who played with your feelings, who took your love for granted, who never appreciated your care, who wasn’t contented with what you could give him or her. You can’t stay at that hurtful place anymore. You can’t keep shedding tears over someone who doesn’t deserve the love you gave. You can’t keep feeling sorry for yourself and thinking if only you did more. You can’t make them want the relationship because if they wanted they wouldn’t have let go of you.
You deserve better now. You deserve someone who appreciates you and who won’t play with your delicate heart.. Just like a cut on your hand will take time to heal, your broken heart needs time to heal as well. That’s not the end of your life. You will get over that pain you’re having right now and one day you’ll be happy again." ~EF
═══════════════ "No relationship is endless sunshine. In a relationship there are cloudy days, windy nights, rainy days, cold nights and stormy days. But once you’ve learned that every condition is temporary, you’ll have discovered the secret to making your relationship last. Therefore don’t let the temporal conditions of life cause you to make permanent decisions in your relationship. No problem lasts forever. If you learn to weather the storms and play in the rain you’ve learned the secret of surviving each passing storm." ~Emotional Filmtricks

"Pride destroys relationships and marriages. You are human and you make mistakes. Swallow your pride, admit when you are in wrong and take responsibility for your actions. Don't seek to justify your mistakes or push blame to someone else. Sometimes you just have to swallow your pride and say, "I am sorry, I was wrong please forgive me." to save your relationship." ~EMFT
"Right now she might be hurting, she might be in pain, she might be overwhelmed, she might be stressing, she might be depressed, she might be balling her eyes out, she might be feeling hopeless, she might be feeling sad, she might be feeling weak, she might be feeling like she'll never love anybody else again, but you know what?
In the end, she's gonna be alright. She knows it's definitely over with you this time and she also knows you guys will never be able To make things work again, but that's okay, because it may not seem like it to her now, but she'll be fine without you one day. One day, she'll be able to think of you and not feel a thing. One day, she'll be able to see your name and not get the urge to talk to you. One day, she'll look at old pictures of you two and not miss her relationship with you. One day, she'll be able to look at you and not want to break down and cry.
She will Get over You!" ~Emotional Filmtricks
═══════════════ "Seriously, be strong and know when enough is enough. Take your stand, speak up and refuse to let others hurt you. Throughout your lifetime some people will discredit you, disrespect you and treat you poorly for no apparent reason at all. Don’t consume yourself with trying to change them or win their approval. And don’t make any space in your heart to hate them. You don’t have control over what others think about you, but you do have control over how you decide to internalize their opinions. Leave them to their own judgments. Let people love you for who you are, and not for who they want you to be. Or let them walk away if they choose. They can’t harm you either way; it’s their understanding that is faulty, not yours." ~Emotional Filmtricks
"She misses you but she won't chase you. For the longest time, she tried to be good enough for you. For the longest time, she did her best to make you happy. For the longest time, she has done everything she could to show you she deserves a guy like you.
.
But finally, she can't find it in herself to make an effort anymore. Finally, she can't find it in herself to care as much anymore. Finally, she can't find it herself to fight for you anymore. Every mistake you've made has finally caught up to her. Every flaw you carry has finally convinced her that you're bad for her. Every heartbreak, pain and hurt you put her through has finally pushed her far enough never to come back into your life anymore.
.
So, don't expect her to come running back to you like she always has before. Don't expect her to give in to her feelings for you like she always did in the past. Don't expect her to settle for getting hurt over you like she always does all of this time. It took a lot of "I'm done", it took a lot of "I don't think I can do this anymore", it took a lot of "It's overs", but she's really finished this time around.
.
Sure, it's going to be hard to be alone, but she'd rather be alone than to be with someone who makes her feel alone. Sure, it's going to hurt to move on, but she'd rather be hurt moving on than to be hurt by someone who doesn't appreciate her staying. Sure, it's going to be a challenge to love someone again, but she'd rather love someone again once she's ready than to love someone who takes her love for granted.
═════════════
"Stop trying to force yourself to see the good things in the wrong people. When someone shows you that they do not care about you, have enough respect for yourself to walk away and wait on someone who does."
.
"Understand that your love is a gift. Understand that your love has the power to do great things in someone's life who appreciates it. We have to get back to drawing a line in the sand and sticking to things that we will and will not accept from other people."
.
"We have to get back to setting new standards with love, and never allowing ourselves to go below that bar again. Why wait forever for the wrong person to treat you right, when there is someone out there waiting to do that right now.
.
If it doesn't make you happy, it doesn't make sense. Don't over complicate something so simple that should be shown so easily."
"Successful Relationships are built on true and genuine friendship: Your partner should be your Best Friend Forever. True friends spend time together; they talk together, laugh together and cry together. True friends enjoy each other’s company while they celebrate life’s moments together. True love is more than just kissing, hugging or sleeping together; it’s about loyalty, honesty and courtesy - attributes that you’ll always find in a best friend. Don’t just love each other, take your relationship to the next level and become true best friends also; you’ll have fun and enjoy life together. Genuine friendship creates wonderful relationships. Don’t Just be your partner’s partner; become your partner’s Best Friend Forever!"
"The reason why other women look attractive is because someone is taking good care of them. Grass is always green where it is watered. Instead of drooling over the green grass on the other side of the fence, work on yours and water it regularly. Any man can admire a beautiful woman, but it takes a true gentleman to make a woman admirable and beautiful." ~Emotional Filmtricks. To Husbands and Boyfriends, on Love is a Beautiful Thing
"This goes to all my Single Friends out there: Not everyone that you see in a relationship is happy and comfortable. Many are in pain, they’re stressed, ever in regrets, tears, torture, they have sleepless nights, they are lonely and others are not contented with the people they have. Therefore, take your time in choosing the right person to spend your life with. Don’t rush because being single is not a curse. Keep working on yourself as you are praying to God to help you in finding the right person." ~Emotional Filmtricks
═══════════════
"True friends are always there for you. Fake friends only appear when they need something from you. Time passes and you begin to see people for who they really are and not who they pretend to be. Respect people who find time for you in their busy schedule. But love people who never look at their schedule when you need them. Life is much too short to waste time on people who don’t really care for us deep down. When someone shows you who they really are believe them the first time." ~EMFT
"True love knows no distance, beauty face and body size, it’s all about what you feel inside your heart and accept someone for who they are." ~Emotional Filmtricks
"Wait for the one who simply adores you. The kind of person who brings out the best in you and makes you want to be a better person; the only person who will drop everything to be with you at any time no matter what the circumstances, for the person who makes you smile like no one else ever has. Wait for the person who wants to show you off to the world because they are so proud of you. And most of all, wait for the person who will make you a priority, because that’s where you belong." ~from Emotional Filmtricks
═══════════════ "We are often let down by the most trusted people and loved by the most unexpected ones. Some make us cry for things that we haven’t done, while others ignore our faults and just see our smile. Some leave us when we need them the most, while some stay with us even when ask them to leave. The world is a mixture of people. We just need to know which hand to shake and which hand to hold! After all that’s life, learning to hold on and learning to let go." ~Emotional Filmtricks
"When we sigh about our problems, they grow DOUBLE. But when we laugh about them... they become BUBBLES! Have a bubbly life!" ~Emotional Filmtricks
═══════════════ "When you say “I love you”, you are making a promise with someone else’s heart. You should honor it with actions to prove it. Love is not only an emotion. Love is a verb." ~EF
═══════════════ "WOMEN ARE PRICELESS. A lot of men act like they are doing a woman a favor by asking for her hand in marriage but let's think about this. She changes her name, changes her home, leaves her family, moves in with you, builds a home with you, gets pregnant for You and bears children for you.
Pregnancy destroys her body. She gets fat. Almost give up in the labour room due to the unexplainable pains of childbirth. Even the kids she delivers bear your name till the day she dies.
Everything she does benefits you. So who is really doing who a favour? Dear Men, appreciate your woman today because it is not easy to be a Woman. Being a woman is Priceless!!!! Too bad so many women of today don't even know their values. God Bless The Women!" ~from Emotional Filmtricks
═══════════════
"You can be a wife material and still not be his choice. Not because you're not good enough, but because he's not looking for a wife. He's looking for fun, chill, games and nothing serious. Let him do that but with someone else! You deserve better!" ~Emotional Filmtricks
"You don’t need anyone’s affection or approval in order to be good enough. When someone rejects or abandons or judges you, it isn’t actually about you. It’s about them and their own insecurities, limitations, and needs, and you don’t have to internalize that. Your worth isn’t contingent upon other people’s acceptance of you — it’s something inherent. You exist, and therefore, you matter. You’re allowed to voice your thoughts and feelings. You’re allowed to assert your needs and take up space. You’re allowed to hold onto the truth that who you are is exactly enough. And you’re allowed to remove anyone from your life who makes you feel otherwise." ~Emotional Filmtricks
═══════════════
"You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there." ~

Sure, it's going to be a challenge to love someone again, but she'd rather love someone again once she's ready than to love someone who takes her love for granted.
"Stop trying to force yourself to see the good things in the wrong people. When someone shows you that they do not care about you, have enough respect for yourself to walk away and wait on someone who does."
.
"Understand that your love is a gift. Understand that your love has the power to do great things in someone's life who appreciates it. We have to get back to drawing a line in the sand and sticking to things that we will and will not accept from other people."
.
"We have to get back to setting new standards with love, and never allowing ourselves to go below that bar again. Why wait forever for the wrong person to treat you right, when there is someone out there waiting to do that right now.
.
If it doesn't make you happy, it doesn't make sense. Don't over complicate something so simple that should be shown so easily."

"Successful Relationships are built on true and genuine friendship: Your partner should be your Best Friend Forever. True friends spend time together; they talk together, laugh together and cry together. True friends enjoy each other’s company while they celebrate life’s moments together. True love is more than just kissing, hugging or sleeping together; it’s about loyalty, honesty and courtesy - attributes that you’ll always find in a best friend. Don’t just love each other, take your relationship to the next level and become true best friends also; you’ll have fun and enjoy life together. Genuine friendship creates wonderful relationships. Don’t Just be your partner’s partner; become your partner’s Best Friend Forever!"

"The reason why other women look attractive is because someone is taking good care of them. Grass is always green where it is watered. Instead of drooling over the green grass on the other side of the fence, work on yours and water it regularly. Any man can admire a beautiful woman, but it takes a true gentleman to make a woman admirable and beautiful." ~Emotional Filmtricks. To Husbands and Boyfriends, on Love is a Beautiful Thing

"This goes to all my Single Friends out there: Not everyone that you see in a relationship is happy and comfortable. Many are in pain, they’re stressed, ever in regrets, tears, torture, they have sleepless nights, they are lonely and others are not contented with the people they have. Therefore, take your time in choosing the right person to spend your life with. Don’t rush because being single is not a curse. Keep working on yourself as you are praying to God to help you in finding the right person." ~Emotional Filmtricks
"True friends are always there for you. Fake friends only appear when they need something from you. Time passes and you begin to see people for who they really are and not who they pretend to be. Respect people who find time for you in their busy schedule. But love people who never look at their schedule when you need them. Life is much too short to waste time on people who don’t really care for us deep down. When someone shows you who they really are believe them the first time." ~EMFT
═══════════════
"True love knows no distance, beauty face and body size, it’s all about what you feel inside your heart and accept someone for who they are." ~Emotional Filmtricks
═══════════════
"Wait for the one who simply adores you. The kind of person who brings out the best in you and makes you want to be a better person; the only person who will drop everything to be with you at any time no matter what the circumstances, for the person who makes you smile like no one else ever has. Wait for the person who wants to show you off to the world because they are so proud of you. And most of all, wait for the person who will make you a priority, because that’s where you belong." ~from Emotional Filmtricks

"When we sigh about our problems, they grow DOUBLE. But when we laugh about them... they become BUBBLES! Have a bubbly life!" ~Emotional Filmtricks
Pregnancy destroys her body. She gets fat. Almost give up in the labour room due to the unexplainable pains of childbirth. Even the kids she delivers bear your name till the day she dies.
Everything she does benefits you. So who is really doing who a favour? Dear Men, appreciate your woman today because it is not easy to be a Woman. Being a woman is Priceless!!!! Too bad so many women of today don't even know their values. God Bless The Women!" ~from Emotional Filmtricks
"You can be a wife material and still not be his choice. Not because you're not good enough, but because he's not looking for a wife. He's looking for fun, chill, games and nothing serious. Let him do that but with someone else! You deserve better!" ~Emotional Filmtricks
═══════════════
"You don’t need anyone’s affection or approval in order to be good enough. When someone rejects or abandons or judges you, it isn’t actually about you. It’s about them and their own insecurities, limitations, and needs, and you don’t have to internalize that. Your worth isn’t contingent upon other people’s acceptance of you — it’s something inherent. You exist, and therefore, you matter. You’re allowed to voice your thoughts and feelings. You’re allowed to assert your needs and take up space. You’re allowed to hold onto the truth that who you are is exactly enough. And you’re allowed to remove anyone from your life who makes you feel otherwise." ~Emotional Filmtricks
"You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there." ~
"Your emotions are not hardwired. With some practice, you can actually learn how to control them." ~Ted Talks

LEARN FROM THESE
*Girls are sensitive, they over think every little thing and they care way more than they should, but that's what makes their love so strong.
* A girl is happiest when she knows you make her your everything in front of everyone, every time.
* Sometimes you don't even feel like a "friend" to some people. I feel more like an option or someone they run to when they need something.
* Sometimes, two people have to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together
* We 've lived. We 've loved. We 've lost. We 've missed. We 've hurt. We 've trusted. We've made mistakes but most of all, we 've learned.
* The worst feeling ever is not knowing whether you should wait or give up.
* A person who truly loves you will never let you go or give up on you, no matter how hard the situation is. But then, everyone has a limit they can wait or take things.
* Once you've been hurt, you're so scared to get attached again. You have this fear that everyone you like is gonna break your heart.
* Girls and Boys are alike... I really like you. A lot. I know sometimes I mess up and do things that make it seem like I don't care but trust me, you're my world.
* Sometimes you only forgive a person because you can’t imagine not having them in your life.

LADIES YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE IN HIS HEART!
Your fiance may not own a car. He may not earn a lot of money. He may not live in a posh estate. He may not be able to shower you with gifts all the time. He may not have a great job. But it’s enough to know you are the ONLY ONE He has at his heart.
He has a vision. He is Honest. He is very hardworking. He is humble. He keeps that smile on your face. He talks to you every day. He actually listens to you. He always replies your messages. He tolerates you when you're moody.
His family knows you. He tells you you're beautiful all the time. He sees you every chance he gets.
He appreciates the tiniest things you do. He is there when you need him. He respects you. He is proud you are his. And he treats you like a queen because you are his everything and he fears to lose you.
Why ask for what he cannot afford? He may not have it all now, but one day he will... He may not be living his dream now, but one day he will… He pictures making a family with you and he means it when he says that he loves you. African Ladies, appreciate that man in your life who strives to be all you need.
He may not be all the things you need right now but with time he will be, He will get a job, get the money, he will buy a land and he will build a house for both of you. He won’t be renting or staying at his parent’s crib forever. He will fulfill all his promises and he will be a good dad to your children.
Just kindly be patient if you seriously love him. Everything will be fine between both of you. Don't be pushed around by money and what you wanna eat now....I pray you don't eat up the future of your unborn.
God bless REAL men!..

* People too weak to follow their own dreams, will always find a way to discourage yours.✻ღ♥*✿*•♥ღ✻
* Happiness comes when we stop complaining about the troubles we have and offer thanks for all the troubles we don't have.
* Don't talk, just act. Don't say, just show. Don't promise, just prove.
* You can choose to let it define you, or you can choose to move on and leave it behind you.
* Instead of wishing you were someone else, be proud of who you are. You never know who was looking at you wishing they were you.
* Anybody can do the easy stuff, but it's the hard stuff that ultimately determines how successful you become.
* No one ever became great by imitation. Imitation is limitation. Do not be a copy of something. Make your own impression.

What kind of person do you want to walk down the street with? What kind of person do you want to wake up in the morning with? What kind of person do you want to see at the end of the day before you fall asleep? Because that person is yourself, and it's your responsibility to be that person you want to be with.

Someone who knows what you are capable of, and celebrates those pieces of you. Not someone who is intimidated by your strength. Someone who can call you out for being a brat, but doesn’t make you feel guilty for being flawed. It is not love’s job to punish you. And remember the person you love is just as broken as you are when they fall short. No one is perfect – do not hold them to this standard. Find someone who is patient, forgiving, and apologetic. Someone who practices forgiveness freely and often. Love someone who is humble, kind, and empathetic. Not only with you, but with a beggar on the street, or a stranger in the supermarket. Common courtesy is important. Compassion is important. Kindness is important." ~LLL

"How beautiful it is to stay silent when someone expects you to be enraged." ~Lessons in Life
"I'm getting too old to be around people who don't understand the concept of loyalty and honesty." ~LLL
"I'm the kind of person who will restart a song because I got distracted and wasn't appreciating it enough." ~LLL
"I can’t emphasize enough the importance of learning to be alone by going on solo adventures to shape and promote your sense of independence. You don’t always have to surround yourself with people. Become your own best friend. Take the time and buy yourself a cup of coffee, tea or drink relax and enjoy it. Learn to love every bit of your company! There is nothing more freeing and empowering." ~LLL
"I don't like forced conversations, forced friendships, forced interactions. I simply do not force things. If we do not vibe, we don't vibe." ~ Lessons Learned In Life

If you do, you’re still giving a portion of your life to something that no longer exists – it’s like letting your happiness slip into a black hole. Learn the lesson, release the pain, and move on. Scars remind us of where we have been, not where we are headed." ~LLL

"Find someone who loves you well. Someone who never belittles you. Even in the heat of an argument. Someone who is gentle with you, but does not treat you like you are fragile. Someone who knows what you are capable of, and celebrates those pieces of you. Not someone who is intimidated by your strength. Someone who can call you out for being a brat, but doesn’t make you feel guilty for being flawed. It is not love’s job to punish you. And remember the person you love is just as broken as you are when they fall short. No one is perfect – do not hold them to this standard. Find someone who is patient, forgiving, and apologetic. Someone who practices forgiveness freely and often. Love someone who is humble, kind, and empathetic. Not only with you, but with a beggar on the street, or a stranger in the supermarket.

Now you have started losing hope. You now think that maybe you were meant to be like that or maybe somebody cursed you. But I tell you what my friend? You weren’t meant to be like that and you weren’t cursed. God is silent but He watches you day and night. He listens to your prayers and He has something special for you.

I shouldn't have to fight so hard for it. I am worth more than that." ~LLL

"Not everyone will support you. If you take every insult or rude slur of your fellow human beings personally, you will be offended for the rest of your life. One of the most freeing things we learn in life is that we don’t have to agree with everyone, everyone doesn’t have to agree with us, and that’s OK. It takes a long time to learn how to NOT judge yourself through someone else’s eyes, but once you do the world is yours for the taking. Remember the only approval you need is your own. So give up worrying too much about what others think of you." ~LLL

"Stop trying to change someone who doesn't want to change. Stop giving chances to someone who abuses your forgiveness. Stop walking back to the place where your heart ran from. Stop trusting their words and ignoring their action. Stop giving your all to a person who gives you nothing. Stop fighting for a RELATIONSHIP when your standing in the ring alone. Stop breaking your own heart." ~LLL
"Take care of yourself. Go for a walk, eat your favourite food, get a haircut, cry if you need to, read a book, take a vacation, have a drink, do what you need to do. Take care of yourself, because at the end of the day you're all you've got. Take care of yourself." ~LLL
"Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always. Be you, and be okay with it." ~LLL
"The best advice I ever had was not to worry about: When will I fall in love? or will I fall in love again? They say to treasure friendships and from this, you might meet your soulmate or realize you want to spend the rest of your life with your best friend. Your time shouldn't be focused on trying to fall in love or even to worry about a partner. Your life right now should be about reaching your goals, spending time with friends and quality time with family. Right now, it's about creating your own happiness and before you know it, blessings of love will find their way into your heart...again. I promise." ~Brigitte Nicole

"There's no need to rush. What's meant for you always arrives right on time." ~LLL
"There is no soul mate or best friend out there who will solve all your problems. There is no love at first sight that lasts without work and commitment. But there are, however, people out there worth fighting for. Not because they’re perfect, but because they’re imperfect in all the ways that are right for you. You compliment each other’s flaws in a way that allows your souls to unite and operate more efficiently as one. You will know when you meet one of these people, when through them you meet the very best in yourself." ~LLL

"This goes out to all of the people who have been broken but have been strong enough to let go. For the people who have hurt so badly that they felt they could never love again, but kept their head up. For the people that wish loneliness wasn’t a part of them, but put up with it anyhow. For the people that are okay with taking up all of the room in the bed, even if sometimes it feels a little empty. For the people who wake up in the morning with no missed calls, but smile anyway. For the people that have wounds still healing. For the people that have so much tied to their past relationship, but break those chains to start fresh. For the people that want to look back so badly, but focus on the road ahead. For the people that pick up the phone so tempted to call, but keep their dignity intact instead. For the people that never wanted to let go, but had to. For the people that still believe in love even after all of the hurt their heart has endured. For all the people that gave up not because they were weak, but because most times it’s better just to let go. You will get your happy ending someday. Hang in there and don’t give up. Because all endings are also beginnings." ~LLL
"Those who died yesterday had plans for this morning. And those who died this morning had plans for tonight. Don't take life for granted. In the blink of an eye, everything can change. So forgive often and love with all your heart. You may never know when you may not have that chance again." ~Lessons Learned in Life
"Throughout life you will meet one person who is unlike any other. You could talk to this person for hours and never get bored. You could tell them anything and they would never judge you. This person is your soul mate, your best friend. Don’t ever let them go." ~LLL
"To lose sleep worrying about a friend or a loved one. To have trouble picking yourself up after someone lets you down. To feel whole again because someone didn’t love you enough to stay. To be afraid to try something new for fear you’ll fail. None of this means you’re dysfunctional or crazy. It just means you’re human, and that you need a little time for yourself. You are not alone. No matter how embarrassed or hopeless you feel about your own situation, there are others out there experiencing the same emotions. When you hear yourself say, “I am all alone,” it is your mind trying to sell you a lie. There are so many people that feel exactly the way you do. You are not alone and you will get through this."
"To make a difference in someone's life, you don't have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful or perfect. You just have to care." ~Lessons Learned In Life

"Trust is like glass, once broken it will never be the same again." ~LLL
"Understand your absolute importance. Press that send button. Say how you feel. If you don’t say it now, you never will. Do not sneer at happiness or roll your eyes at sadness. Be aware that apathy is not healthy. That pit in your stomach when they don't call or text you back, it shouldn’t be there. No one should be able to control you like that. It will get better, but it will never be perfect. The trick is to learn to live through the small moments of happiness. When they disappear, remember they will resurface. Please, please, take care of yourself. You are everything to somebody. You are everything to yourself. That alone is enough. That alone is everything!" ~LLL

"When you are up in life, your friends get to know who you are. When you are down in life, you get to know who your friends are. There will be many people who will be great to be around when times are easy. Instead take note of the people who remain in your life when times are hard.The friends that are willing to sacrifice their time & the resources they have in their life to help improve yours. Those are your real friends. A real friend is one who walks in, when the rest of the world walks out." ~LLL

"You have been doubted, hated, talked about, made fun of, hurt, lied to, broken and at your wits end. With that being said, I commend you for the fact that you are still standing. Your courage speaks volumes! I know your struggle and the pain you’ve endured. You are more than a conqueror. Nothing can keep you down and no one can steal your joy.

"You never know the last time you'll see a place. Or a person." ~Lessons Learned In Life
"Your Soulmate: A person with whom you have an immediate connection the moment you meet - a connection so strong that you are drawn to them in a way you have never experienced before. As this connection develops over time, you experience a love so deep, strong and complex, that you begin to doubt that you have ever truly loved anyone prior. Your soulmate understands and connects with you in every way and on every level, which brings a sense of peace, calmness and happiness when you are around them. And when you are not around them, you are all that much more aware of the harshness of life, and how bonding with another person in this way is the most significant and satisfying thing you will experience in your lifetime. You are also all that much aware of the beauty in life, because you have been given a great gift and will always be thankful." ~LLL
"Your soulmate is not someone who comes into your life peacefully. It is who comes to make you question things, who changes your reality, someone that marks a before and after in your life. It is not the human being everyone has idealized, but an ordinary person, who manages to revolutionize your world in a second." ~LLL
"Your truest friends are the people who don't walk out the door when life gets hard. They actually pour some coffee and pull up a chair." ~LLL

WHY WE NEED BEST FRIENDS:
Because they laugh at the same stupid things we do.
Because they give us honest advice.
Because they will be there for us,
Even if they're thousands of miles away.
Because they celebrate with us
When we're at our best,
But still love us at our worst.

"And no matter what anybody says about grief and about time healing all wounds, the truth is, there are certain sorrows that never fade away until the heart stops beating and the last breath is taken.” ~Tiffanie DeBartolo
"Don’t wait for years for anyone who hurt you to “make it up to you” and keep your old wounds from healing. Waiting for them to change is not the answer. They may never change. Inner peace is found by changing yourself, not the people who hurt you. And you change yourself for yourself, for your joy, your serenity, your peace of mind, understanding, compassion, laughter, and your bright future that you will get." ~Marcus Folder
"Give yourself time to be sad, frustrated, and angry. Give yourself time to heal, accept, and to grow. Time doesn’t erase anything, but it can provide you with enough space to be able to breathe again. And then one day you wake up and your heart has a little bit of sunshine in it. And day by day people offer you pieces of their hearts to help remake your own. Allow yourself to be where you are at, to feel what you are feeling, and to experience everything that means. And during this process, look and listen for that glimmer of hope. It is there, I promise. And it is waiting for you to see it. Because one of the most beautiful things about humans is their capacity to heal, grow, and survive. Facing it. That is how you get through." ~Jessica Jensen
"Hot bodies are good for pleasure and looking good on your arm, but I know you are smarter than to settle for this. Kind hearts are good for loving your broken parts and accepting you for what you are. Beautiful souls are good for teaching you about life and happiness. Gentle spirits are good for bringing peace and harmony into your life. Artistic minds are good for appreciating differences and depth. Honest consciences are good for trust and reliability. Playful characters are good for laughter and funDon't you see? When you're 80 and you're looking at the last 60 years of your life, what kind of person do you want to have spent it with?" ~Anne, Life partner check list.
"I am not the first person you loved. You are not the first person I looked at with a mouthful of forevers. We have both known loss like the sharp edges of a knife. We have both lived with lips more scar tissue than skin. Our love came unannounced in the middle of the night. Our love came when we’d given up on asking love to come. I think that has to be part of its miracle. This is how we heal. I will kiss you like forgiveness. You will hold me like I’m hope. Our arms will bandage and we will press promises between us like flowers in a book. I will write sonnets to the salt of sweat on your skin. I will write novels to the scar of your nose. I will write a dictionary of all the words I have used trying to describe the way it feels to have finally, finally found you And I will not be afraid of your scars. I know sometimes it’s still hard to let me see you in all your cracked perfection, but please know whether it’s the days you burn more brilliant than the sun or the nights you collapse into my lap your body broken into a thousand questions, you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I will love you when you are a still day. I will love you when you are a hurricane." ~Clementine von Radics, “Mouthful of Forever”
“I’m often difficult to love. I go through dark periods like the moon and I hide from myself. But I promise I will kiss your wounds when they’re hurting. Even if they’re in your soul, I can find them with the light in my fingertips. I will lead you to the river so you can remember how beautiful it feels to be moved by something that is out of your control. And when our dark periods match, we can breathe with the grass and look at the night sky. The stars will remind us of the beauty in our struggles and we won’t feel lost.” ~Emery Allen
“I’m quirky, silly, blunt, and broken. My days are sometimes too dark, and my nights are sometimes too long. I often trip over my own insecurities. I require attention, long for passion, and wish to be desired. I use music to speak when words fail me, even though words are as important to me as the air I breathe. I love hard and with all that i have and even with my faults, I am worth loving.” -Danu Grayson
“I’ve made mistakes in my life. I’ve let people take advantage of me, and I accepted way less than I deserve, but I’ve learned from my bad choices and even though there are some things I can never get back and people who will never be sorry, I’ll know better next time and I won’t settle for anything less than I deserve.” ~Anon
"I hope that someday you find someone that gives you butterflies the moment you meet them. And that the first time you touch, it feels like electricity is running through your body. I hope that when you’re with them, you never want to leave. I hope you are the first and last thing they think about every day. I hope you play it cool in front of people, but can’t keep your hands off each other in private. I hope that when you give them your heart, they don’t break it. I hope that the things they tell you aren’t just things you want to hear, but things they want to say. I hope that you fit in their arms better than the last piece of a puzzle, and that you always feel safe when they hold you. I hope that when you fight, you fight hard, but that when you love, you love harder. I hope that once you find them, you can’t picture your life without them. I hope that they take your breath away. I hope that, together, you create happiness. I hope that with them, you’re not afraid of the future, but excited for it. I hope that, every day, they tell you how much they love you. I hope that when you find them, you realize it before it’s too late. I hope that you take them and love them and never let them go. I hope you find it." ~Lauren M. Smith
"I hope you fall in love with someone who always calls you back and never lets you fall asleep making you feel unwanted. I hope you fall in love with someone who holds your hand during the scary parts of horror movies and burns cookies with you while you’re both busy dancing around the kitchen. I hope you fall in love with someone who tickles you and makes you smile on hard days and on easy ones. 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 fall in love with someone who kisses you in the rain and hugs you when you’re cold and wouldn’t have it any other way." ~Anon
"I hope you find someone that loves you when you wake up in the morning. And I hope that person stops you from running to the bathroom to fix yourself before they can even get a peek at you. I hope they tell you how beautiful you are, not just in the way you look but in the way you hold their hands and laugh at their jokes. 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 hope you find someone that will give you the wings to soar and I hope this person decides to fly with you. I hope you find someone that really deserves you as much as you deserve them. I hope you find that person." ~Anon
“I learned the hard way that I cannot always count on others to my feelings, even if I respect theirs. Being a good person doesn’t guarantee that others will be good people, too. You only have control over yourself and how you choose to be as a person. As for others, you can only choose to accept them or walk away.” ~Unattributed
“If you have to speculate if someone loves you and wants to be with you, chances are they don’t. It’s not that complicated. Don’t waste moments waiting and wondering. Don’t throw away your time dreaming of someone that doesn’t want you. No one is that amazing, certainly not the one who would pass you up.” ~Donna Lynn
“In life you’ll meet a lot of mean and disrespectful people. If they hurt you, tell yourself that it’s because they’ve got issues and you’re on a different level than they are. That will help keep you from reacting to their insensitivity. Because there is nothing worse than bitterness and vengeance. Walk away, keep your dignity and always be true to yourself.” ~Anon
"In your lifetime you will find and meet one person who will love you more than anybody you have ever known and will know. They will love you with every bit of energy and soul. They will sacrifice, surrender and give so much that it scares you. Someday you’ll know who that is. Sometimes people realize who it was." ~Anon
"It has been said, “time heals all wounds.” I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone” ~Rose Kennedy
"It hurts to let go. Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold on to something or someone the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you, because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small because it’s so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn’t come back. You’re left so alone that you can’t explain. Damn, there’s nothing like that, is there? I’ve been there and you have too. You’re nodding your head." ~Henry Rollins
"Learn to love yourself enough so that when someone enters your life that treats you negatively, you can stand up for yourself and have the strength to let them go. You can learn that it is okay to say no to anyone who is not willing to treat you with the love and respect you not only want, but also deserve. Have the courage to walk away from anything that does not serve you well. Search for your highest good." ~Anon
"Life has knocked me down a few times. It has shown me things I never wanted to see. I have experienced sadness and failures. But one thing for sure, I always get up." ~Anon
"Not everyone whom desires access to your life, your heart, and your spirit are worthy of the access they seek. Protect it. Your time is your most valuable asset. By all means give it to those whom will appreciate it. But to continuously allow yourself to be used and suffer through other’s actions, you’re doing no one any justice. Take care of you first so that you can take care of your purpose and be all that you were meant to be. Then you will be able to be there for others." ~Maritza Alvarez (Our Journey to Balance)
"One of the most courageous decisions you will ever make is to finally let go of whatever is hurting your heart and soul." ~Brigitte Nicole
"Raising kids was my choice. I gave up things and went without for them. I regret nothing. My life was, is and will always be all for my children no matter how big they get. They didn't ruin my life, they gave me a whole new view of the meaning of life. I couldn't love them any more than I do." ~Lessons Learned in Life
"Sensitive people are often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a ‘hot mess’ or having ‘too many issues’ are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world." -Anthon St. Maarten
“Sensitive people are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There is nothing they won’t tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. However, the moment you betray them, reject them or devalue them, they will end the friendship. They live with guilt and constant pain over unresolved situations and misunderstandings. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred or being hated. This type of person needs the most love anyone can give them because their soul has been constantly bruised by others. However, despite the tragedy of what they have to go through in life, they remain the most compassionate people worth knowing and the ones that often become activists for the broken-hearted, forgotten and the misunderstood. They are angels with broken wings that only fly when loved.” ~Shannon L. Alder
"Seriously, be strong and know when enough is enough. Take your stand, speak up and refuse to let others hurt you. Throughout your lifetime some people will discredit you, disrespect you and treat you poorly for no apparent reason at all. Don’t consume yourself with trying to change them or win their approval. And don’t make any space in your heart to hate them. You don’t have control over what others think about you, but you do have control over how you decide to internalize their opinions. Leave them to their own judgments. Let people love you for who you are, and not for who they want you to be. Or let them walk away if they choose. They can’t harm you either way; it’s their understanding that is faulty, not yours." ~Anon
“She loved him because he had brought her back to life. She had been like a caterpillar in a cocoon, and he had drawn her out and shown her that she was a butterfly.” ~Ken Follett, The Pillars of the Earth
"Some people are good at being in love. Some people are good at love. Two very different things, I think. Being in love is the romantic part—sex all the time, midday naps in the sheets, the jokes, the laughs, the fun, long conversations with no pauses, overwhelming separation anxiety… Just the best sides of both people, you know? But love begins when the excitement of being in love starts to fade: the stress of life sets in, the butterflies disappear, the sex not so often, the tears, the sadness, the arguments, the cattiness; the worst parts of both people. But if you still want that person by your side through all of those things… that’s when you know—that’s when you know you’re good at love." ~Nick Miller
"Someone once told me to always live for the little things in life. Live for 5am sunrises and 5pm sunsets where you’ll see colours in the sky that are stunning. Live for the times with music in your ears and the wind in your hair. Live for days when you’re surrounded by your favourite people who make you realise that the world is not a cold, harsh place. Live for the little things because they will make you realise that this is what life is about, this is what it means to be alive." ~A.y.
“This is an important lesson to remember when you're having a bad day, a bad month, or a bad year. Things will change: you won't feel this way forever. And anyway, sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your soul needs most. I believe you can't feel real joy unless you've felt a real heartache. You can't have a sense of victory unless you know what it means to fail. You can't know what it's like to feel holy until you've seen evil. And you can't be birthed again until you've hit rock bottom." ~Unattributed
"When you are resting because you are exhausted, you need to remember that you are not wasting the day doing nothing. You are doing what exactly you need to do.… You are recovering." ~LLL
"When you fall in love make sure it’s with somebody who treats you exactly how you deserve to be treated. Love somebody who wants to know everything about you, from your favourite colour to your childhood memories to how you managed to survive all those years. Love somebody who can make you laugh. Love somebody who kisses your forehead. Love somebody who notices all of your flaws but chooses to see past them. Love somebody who listens to whatever is on your mind. Love somebody who always reminds you how blessed they are to have found you. Love somebody who protects you. Love somebody who you can’t stay mad at for more than an hour because you miss speaking to them. Love somebody who knows every freckle on your face, every stretch mark on your thighs, every scar and every tear. Love somebody who you can plan a future with. And most importantly, love somebody who makes you question why you were so afraid to fall in love in the first place. Don't forget to make them feel loved in return." ~Anon
“When you find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stand in front of you when other’s cast stones, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep, who will hold your hand when your sick, who thinks your beautiful without makeup, the one who turns to his friends and say, ‘that’s her’, the one that would bear your rejection because losing you means losing future. Who kisses you when you mess up, watches the stars and names one for you and will hold and rock that baby for hours so you can sleep…..you would marry him all over again.” ~Shannon L. Alder
"When you love someone, they're a part of you. It’s like you’re attached by this invisible thread, and no matter how far away you are you can always feel them.” ~Anon
“When you love someone, truly love them, you lay your heart open to them. You give them a part of yourself that you give to no one else, and you let them inside a part of you that only they can hurt-you literally hand them the razor with a map of where to cut deepest and most painfully on your heart and soul. And when they do strike, it’s crippling-like having your heart carved out.” ~Sherrilyn Kenyon from Lessons Learned in Life

"Stop planting flowers in peoples yards who aren’t going to water them." ~LLL
"Stop trying to change someone who doesn't want to change. Stop giving chances to someone who abuses your forgiveness. Stop walking back to the place where your heart ran from. Stop trusting their words and ignoring their action. Stop giving your all to a person who gives you nothing. Stop fighting for a RELATIONSHIP when your standing in the ring alone. Stop breaking your own heart." ~LLL
"Take care of yourself. Go for a walk, eat your favourite food, get a haircut, cry if you need to, read a book, take a vacation, have a drink, do what you need to do. Take care of yourself, because at the end of the day you're all you've got. Take care of yourself." ~LLL
"Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn and grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always. Be you, and be okay with it." ~LLL
"The best advice I ever had was not to worry about: When will I fall in love? or will I fall in love again? They say to treasure friendships and from this, you might meet your soulmate or realize you want to spend the rest of your life with your best friend. Your time shouldn't be focused on trying to fall in love or even to worry about a partner. Your life right now should be about reaching your goals, spending time with friends and quality time with family. Right now, it's about creating your own happiness and before you know it, blessings of love will find their way into your heart...again. I promise." ~Brigitte Nicole

"The best thing in life is finding someone who knows all your flaws, mistakes, weaknesses and still thinks you're completely amazing." ~LLL

"The greatest love story is when you fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time." ~LLL
"The longer you wait for something, the more you appreciate it when you get it. Because anything worth having is definitely worth waiting for. True love is worth the wait." ~LLL

"The most painful tears are not the ones that fall from your eyes and cover your face. They’re the ones that fall from your heart and cover your soul." ~Lessons Learned in Life

"There's no need to rush. What's meant for you always arrives right on time." ~LLL
"There is no soul mate or best friend out there who will solve all your problems. There is no love at first sight that lasts without work and commitment. But there are, however, people out there worth fighting for. Not because they’re perfect, but because they’re imperfect in all the ways that are right for you. You compliment each other’s flaws in a way that allows your souls to unite and operate more efficiently as one. You will know when you meet one of these people, when through them you meet the very best in yourself." ~LLL
"There is nothing more beautiful than a person whose heart has been broken, but still believes in love." ~LLL

"This goes out to all of the people who have been broken but have been strong enough to let go. For the people who have hurt so badly that they felt they could never love again, but kept their head up. For the people that wish loneliness wasn’t a part of them, but put up with it anyhow. For the people that are okay with taking up all of the room in the bed, even if sometimes it feels a little empty. For the people who wake up in the morning with no missed calls, but smile anyway. For the people that have wounds still healing. For the people that have so much tied to their past relationship, but break those chains to start fresh. For the people that want to look back so badly, but focus on the road ahead. For the people that pick up the phone so tempted to call, but keep their dignity intact instead. For the people that never wanted to let go, but had to. For the people that still believe in love even after all of the hurt their heart has endured. For all the people that gave up not because they were weak, but because most times it’s better just to let go. You will get your happy ending someday. Hang in there and don’t give up. Because all endings are also beginnings." ~LLL
"Those who died yesterday had plans for this morning. And those who died this morning had plans for tonight. Don't take life for granted. In the blink of an eye, everything can change. So forgive often and love with all your heart. You may never know when you may not have that chance again." ~Lessons Learned in Life
"Throughout life you will meet one person who is unlike any other. You could talk to this person for hours and never get bored. You could tell them anything and they would never judge you. This person is your soul mate, your best friend. Don’t ever let them go." ~LLL
"To lose sleep worrying about a friend or a loved one. To have trouble picking yourself up after someone lets you down. To feel whole again because someone didn’t love you enough to stay. To be afraid to try something new for fear you’ll fail. None of this means you’re dysfunctional or crazy. It just means you’re human, and that you need a little time for yourself. You are not alone. No matter how embarrassed or hopeless you feel about your own situation, there are others out there experiencing the same emotions. When you hear yourself say, “I am all alone,” it is your mind trying to sell you a lie. There are so many people that feel exactly the way you do. You are not alone and you will get through this."
"To make a difference in someone's life, you don't have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful or perfect. You just have to care." ~Lessons Learned In Life

"Trust is like glass, once broken it will never be the same again." ~LLL
"Understand your absolute importance. Press that send button. Say how you feel. If you don’t say it now, you never will. Do not sneer at happiness or roll your eyes at sadness. Be aware that apathy is not healthy. That pit in your stomach when they don't call or text you back, it shouldn’t be there. No one should be able to control you like that. It will get better, but it will never be perfect. The trick is to learn to live through the small moments of happiness. When they disappear, remember they will resurface. Please, please, take care of yourself. You are everything to somebody. You are everything to yourself. That alone is enough. That alone is everything!" ~LLL

"When you are up in life, your friends get to know who you are. When you are down in life, you get to know who your friends are. There will be many people who will be great to be around when times are easy. Instead take note of the people who remain in your life when times are hard.The friends that are willing to sacrifice their time & the resources they have in their life to help improve yours.

"You have been doubted, hated, talked about, made fun of, hurt, lied to, broken and at your wits end. With that being said, I commend you for the fact that you are still standing.

"Your Soulmate: A person with whom you have an immediate connection the moment you meet - a connection so strong that you are drawn to them in a way you have never experienced before. As this connection develops over time, you experience a love so deep, strong and complex, that you begin to doubt that you have ever truly loved anyone prior. Your soulmate understands and connects with you in every way and on every level, which brings a sense of peace, calmness and happiness when you are around them. And when you are not around them, you are all that much more aware of the harshness of life, and how bonding with another person in this way is the most significant and satisfying thing you will experience in your lifetime. You are also all that much aware of the beauty in life, because you have been given a great gift and will always be thankful." ~LLL
"Your soulmate is not someone who comes into your life peacefully. It is who comes to make you question things, who changes your reality, someone that marks a before and after in your life. It is not the human being everyone has idealized, but an ordinary person, who manages to revolutionize your world in a second." ~LLL
"Your truest friends are the people who don't walk out the door when life gets hard. They actually pour some coffee and pull up a chair." ~LLL

WHY WE NEED BEST FRIENDS:
Because they laugh at the same stupid things we do.
Because they give us honest advice.
Because they will be there for us,
Even if they're thousands of miles away.
Because they celebrate with us
When we're at our best,
But still love us at our worst.

"And no matter what anybody says about grief and about time healing all wounds, the truth is, there are certain sorrows that never fade away until the heart stops beating and the last breath is taken.” ~Tiffanie DeBartolo
"Don’t wait for years for anyone who hurt you to “make it up to you” and keep your old wounds from healing. Waiting for them to change is not the answer. They may never change. Inner peace is found by changing yourself, not the people who hurt you. And you change yourself for yourself, for your joy, your serenity, your peace of mind, understanding, compassion, laughter, and your bright future that you will get." ~Marcus Folder
"Give yourself time to be sad, frustrated, and angry. Give yourself time to heal, accept, and to grow. Time doesn’t erase anything, but it can provide you with enough space to be able to breathe again. And then one day you wake up and your heart has a little bit of sunshine in it. And day by day people offer you pieces of their hearts to help remake your own. Allow yourself to be where you are at, to feel what you are feeling, and to experience everything that means. And during this process, look and listen for that glimmer of hope. It is there, I promise. And it is waiting for you to see it. Because one of the most beautiful things about humans is their capacity to heal, grow, and survive. Facing it. That is how you get through." ~Jessica Jensen
"Hot bodies are good for pleasure and looking good on your arm, but I know you are smarter than to settle for this. Kind hearts are good for loving your broken parts and accepting you for what you are. Beautiful souls are good for teaching you about life and happiness. Gentle spirits are good for bringing peace and harmony into your life. Artistic minds are good for appreciating differences and depth. Honest consciences are good for trust and reliability. Playful characters are good for laughter and funDon't you see? When you're 80 and you're looking at the last 60 years of your life, what kind of person do you want to have spent it with?" ~Anne, Life partner check list.
"I am not the first person you loved. You are not the first person I looked at with a mouthful of forevers. We have both known loss like the sharp edges of a knife. We have both lived with lips more scar tissue than skin. Our love came unannounced in the middle of the night. Our love came when we’d given up on asking love to come. I think that has to be part of its miracle. This is how we heal. I will kiss you like forgiveness. You will hold me like I’m hope. Our arms will bandage and we will press promises between us like flowers in a book. I will write sonnets to the salt of sweat on your skin. I will write novels to the scar of your nose. I will write a dictionary of all the words I have used trying to describe the way it feels to have finally, finally found you And I will not be afraid of your scars. I know sometimes it’s still hard to let me see you in all your cracked perfection, but please know whether it’s the days you burn more brilliant than the sun or the nights you collapse into my lap your body broken into a thousand questions, you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I will love you when you are a still day. I will love you when you are a hurricane." ~Clementine von Radics, “Mouthful of Forever”
“I’m often difficult to love. I go through dark periods like the moon and I hide from myself. But I promise I will kiss your wounds when they’re hurting. Even if they’re in your soul, I can find them with the light in my fingertips. I will lead you to the river so you can remember how beautiful it feels to be moved by something that is out of your control. And when our dark periods match, we can breathe with the grass and look at the night sky. The stars will remind us of the beauty in our struggles and we won’t feel lost.” ~Emery Allen
“I’m quirky, silly, blunt, and broken. My days are sometimes too dark, and my nights are sometimes too long. I often trip over my own insecurities. I require attention, long for passion, and wish to be desired. I use music to speak when words fail me, even though words are as important to me as the air I breathe. I love hard and with all that i have and even with my faults, I am worth loving.” -Danu Grayson
“I’ve made mistakes in my life. I’ve let people take advantage of me, and I accepted way less than I deserve, but I’ve learned from my bad choices and even though there are some things I can never get back and people who will never be sorry, I’ll know better next time and I won’t settle for anything less than I deserve.” ~Anon
"I hope that someday you find someone that gives you butterflies the moment you meet them. And that the first time you touch, it feels like electricity is running through your body. I hope that when you’re with them, you never want to leave. I hope you are the first and last thing they think about every day. I hope you play it cool in front of people, but can’t keep your hands off each other in private. I hope that when you give them your heart, they don’t break it. I hope that the things they tell you aren’t just things you want to hear, but things they want to say. I hope that you fit in their arms better than the last piece of a puzzle, and that you always feel safe when they hold you. I hope that when you fight, you fight hard, but that when you love, you love harder. I hope that once you find them, you can’t picture your life without them. I hope that they take your breath away. I hope that, together, you create happiness. I hope that with them, you’re not afraid of the future, but excited for it. I hope that, every day, they tell you how much they love you. I hope that when you find them, you realize it before it’s too late. I hope that you take them and love them and never let them go. I hope you find it." ~Lauren M. Smith
"I hope you fall in love with someone who always calls you back and never lets you fall asleep making you feel unwanted. I hope you fall in love with someone who holds your hand during the scary parts of horror movies and burns cookies with you while you’re both busy dancing around the kitchen. I hope you fall in love with someone who tickles you and makes you smile on hard days and on easy ones. 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 fall in love with someone who kisses you in the rain and hugs you when you’re cold and wouldn’t have it any other way." ~Anon
"I hope you find someone that loves you when you wake up in the morning. And I hope that person stops you from running to the bathroom to fix yourself before they can even get a peek at you. I hope they tell you how beautiful you are, not just in the way you look but in the way you hold their hands and laugh at their jokes. 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 hope you find someone that will give you the wings to soar and I hope this person decides to fly with you. I hope you find someone that really deserves you as much as you deserve them. I hope you find that person." ~Anon
“I learned the hard way that I cannot always count on others to my feelings, even if I respect theirs. Being a good person doesn’t guarantee that others will be good people, too. You only have control over yourself and how you choose to be as a person. As for others, you can only choose to accept them or walk away.” ~Unattributed
“If you have to speculate if someone loves you and wants to be with you, chances are they don’t. It’s not that complicated. Don’t waste moments waiting and wondering. Don’t throw away your time dreaming of someone that doesn’t want you. No one is that amazing, certainly not the one who would pass you up.” ~Donna Lynn
“In life you’ll meet a lot of mean and disrespectful people. If they hurt you, tell yourself that it’s because they’ve got issues and you’re on a different level than they are. That will help keep you from reacting to their insensitivity. Because there is nothing worse than bitterness and vengeance. Walk away, keep your dignity and always be true to yourself.” ~Anon
"In your lifetime you will find and meet one person who will love you more than anybody you have ever known and will know. They will love you with every bit of energy and soul. They will sacrifice, surrender and give so much that it scares you. Someday you’ll know who that is. Sometimes people realize who it was." ~Anon
"It has been said, “time heals all wounds.” I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone” ~Rose Kennedy
"It hurts to let go. Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold on to something or someone the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you, because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small because it’s so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn’t come back. You’re left so alone that you can’t explain. Damn, there’s nothing like that, is there? I’ve been there and you have too. You’re nodding your head." ~Henry Rollins
"Learn to love yourself enough so that when someone enters your life that treats you negatively, you can stand up for yourself and have the strength to let them go. You can learn that it is okay to say no to anyone who is not willing to treat you with the love and respect you not only want, but also deserve. Have the courage to walk away from anything that does not serve you well. Search for your highest good." ~Anon
"Life has knocked me down a few times. It has shown me things I never wanted to see. I have experienced sadness and failures. But one thing for sure, I always get up." ~Anon
"Not everyone whom desires access to your life, your heart, and your spirit are worthy of the access they seek. Protect it. Your time is your most valuable asset. By all means give it to those whom will appreciate it. But to continuously allow yourself to be used and suffer through other’s actions, you’re doing no one any justice. Take care of you first so that you can take care of your purpose and be all that you were meant to be. Then you will be able to be there for others." ~Maritza Alvarez (Our Journey to Balance)
"One of the most courageous decisions you will ever make is to finally let go of whatever is hurting your heart and soul." ~Brigitte Nicole
"Raising kids was my choice. I gave up things and went without for them. I regret nothing. My life was, is and will always be all for my children no matter how big they get. They didn't ruin my life, they gave me a whole new view of the meaning of life. I couldn't love them any more than I do." ~Lessons Learned in Life
"Sensitive people are often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a ‘hot mess’ or having ‘too many issues’ are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world." -Anthon St. Maarten
“Sensitive people are the most genuine and honest people you will ever meet. There is nothing they won’t tell you about themselves if they trust your kindness. However, the moment you betray them, reject them or devalue them, they will end the friendship. They live with guilt and constant pain over unresolved situations and misunderstandings. They are tortured souls that are not able to live with hatred or being hated. This type of person needs the most love anyone can give them because their soul has been constantly bruised by others. However, despite the tragedy of what they have to go through in life, they remain the most compassionate people worth knowing and the ones that often become activists for the broken-hearted, forgotten and the misunderstood. They are angels with broken wings that only fly when loved.” ~Shannon L. Alder

And don’t make any space in your heart to hate them. You don’t have control over what others think about you, but you do have control over how you decide to internalize their opinions. Leave them to their own judgments. Let people love you for who you are, and not for who they want you to be. Or let them walk away if they choose. They can’t harm you either way; it’s their understanding that is faulty, not yours." ~Anon
“She loved him because he had brought her back to life. She had been like a caterpillar in a cocoon, and he had drawn her out and shown her that she was a butterfly.” ~Ken Follett, The Pillars of the Earth
"Some people are good at being in love. Some people are good at love. Two very different things, I think. Being in love is the romantic part—sex all the time, midday naps in the sheets, the jokes, the laughs, the fun, long conversations with no pauses, overwhelming separation anxiety… Just the best sides of both people, you know? But love begins when the excitement of being in love starts to fade: the stress of life sets in, the butterflies disappear, the sex not so often, the tears, the sadness, the arguments, the cattiness; the worst parts of both people. But if you still want that person by your side through all of those things… that’s when you know—that’s when you know you’re good at love." ~Nick Miller
"Someone once told me to always live for the little things in life. Live for 5am sunrises and 5pm sunsets where you’ll see colours in the sky that are stunning. Live for the times with music in your ears and the wind in your hair. Live for days when you’re surrounded by your favourite people who make you realise that the world is not a cold, harsh place. Live for the little things because they will make you realise that this is what life is about, this is what it means to be alive." ~A.y.
“This is an important lesson to remember when you're having a bad day, a bad month, or a bad year. Things will change: you won't feel this way forever. And anyway, sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your soul needs most. I believe you can't feel real joy unless you've felt a real heartache. You can't have a sense of victory unless you know what it means to fail. You can't know what it's like to feel holy until you've seen evil. And you can't be birthed again until you've hit rock bottom." ~Unattributed
"When you are resting because you are exhausted, you need to remember that you are not wasting the day doing nothing. You are doing what exactly you need to do.… You are recovering." ~LLL
"When you fall in love make sure it’s with somebody who treats you exactly how you deserve to be treated. Love somebody who wants to know everything about you, from your favourite colour to your childhood memories to how you managed to survive all those years. Love somebody who can make you laugh. Love somebody who kisses your forehead. Love somebody who notices all of your flaws but chooses to see past them. Love somebody who listens to whatever is on your mind. Love somebody who always reminds you how blessed they are to have found you. Love somebody who protects you. Love somebody who you can’t stay mad at for more than an hour because you miss speaking to them. Love somebody who knows every freckle on your face, every stretch mark on your thighs, every scar and every tear. Love somebody who you can plan a future with. And most importantly, love somebody who makes you question why you were so afraid to fall in love in the first place. Don't forget to make them feel loved in return." ~Anon
“When you find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stand in front of you when other’s cast stones, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep, who will hold your hand when your sick, who thinks your beautiful without makeup, the one who turns to his friends and say, ‘that’s her’, the one that would bear your rejection because losing you means losing future. Who kisses you when you mess up, watches the stars and names one for you and will hold and rock that baby for hours so you can sleep…..you would marry him all over again.” ~Shannon L. Alder
"When you love someone, they're a part of you. It’s like you’re attached by this invisible thread, and no matter how far away you are you can always feel them.” ~Anon
“When you love someone, truly love them, you lay your heart open to them. You give them a part of yourself that you give to no one else, and you let them inside a part of you that only they can hurt-you literally hand them the razor with a map of where to cut deepest and most painfully on your heart and soul. And when they do strike, it’s crippling-like having your heart carved out.” ~Sherrilyn Kenyon from Lessons Learned in Life
"When you start seeing your worth, you'll find it harder to stay around people who don't.” ~Emily S. P
“When you start taking care of yourself, you start feeling better, you start looking better and you even start to attract better. It all starts with you.” ~Lessons Learned in Life
“You don’t need another human being to make your life complete, but lets be honest. Having your wounds kissed by someone who doesn’t see them as disasters in your soul, but cracks to put their love into is the most calming thing in this world.” ~Emery Allen from Lessons Learned in Life

You're so hard on yourself. But remember, everybody has a chapter they don't read out loud. Take a moment. Sit back. Marvel at your life: at the mistake that give you wisdom, at the suffering that give you strength. Despite everything, you still move forward. Be proud of this. Continue to endure. Continue to persevere. And remember, no matter how dark it gets, the sun will rise again." ~LLL
