You made me who i am, from the words you said

“Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain but it’s more common and also more difficult to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden. It is easier to say “My tooth is aching” than to say “My heart is broken.””

— C.S. Lewis

“The world tells you many lies about who you are, and you simply have to be realistic enough to remind yourself of this. Every time you feel hurt, offended, or rejected, you have to dare to say to yourself: ‘These feelings, strong as they may be, are not telling me the truth about myself.”

— Henri Nouwen

“Spend a little more time trying to make something of yourself and a little less time trying to impress people.”

“When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.”

— Lisa Unger

“There’s a Japanese phrase that I like: koi no yokan. It doesn’t mean love at first sight. It’s closer to love at second sight. It’s the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don’t love them right away, but it’s inevitable that you will.”

— Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star

“Abusers don’t abuse every day. They have good moments. Days when they do the right things. Moments when they say the correct words. when this happens, the key is to remember that it is just an abuser having a good day, but still an abuser based on all the other days.”

— Shannon Thomas

“You don’t know why you’re exhausted? You’re fighting a war inside your head every single day. If that’s not exhausting, I don’t know what is.”

“I missed you every hour. And you know what the worst part was? It caught me completely by surprise. I’d catch myself just walking around to find you, not for any reason, just out of habit, because I’d seen something that I wanted to tell you about or because I wanted to hear your voice. And then I’d realize that you weren’t there anymore, and every time, every single time, it was like having the wind knocked out of me.”

“You should have held me tight. You should have grabbed me and held on.”

““We met at the wrong time. That’s what I keep telling myself anyway. Maybe one day years from now, we’ll meet in a coffee shop in a far away city somewhere and we could give it another shot.””

“Sometimes we need to stop and say “Thank you for loving me.” It is such a simple thing to say yet it carries so much weight, whether it is with a spouse while you both read your books or it’s with a friend who has been with you through thick and thin or it is to a family member who has loved you from the start. Those words, that thought, the action of saying it to them with purpose and truth can mean the world to them. Because after all, they mean enough for you to say “Thank you for loving me.””

“When I am with you, there is nowhere else I’d rather be. And I am a person who always wants to be somewhere else.”

“Choose the positive. You have choice, you are master of your attitude, choose the positive, choose the constructive. Optimism is a faith that leads to success.””

“I need you to be patient with me. Sometimes you will find me curled up like the cat and you will have to tell me you are you are you are. Sometimes you will need to hold my hands so they do not mindlessly graze over broken ribs softly nestled behind flesh. And sometimes you will have to let me go so I may be reminded that I saved myself many a times, and I can do it again. I need you to be patient with me.”

— Michelle K., Patient With Me.  (via onethousandtimesover)

“You, out of all the people I know, trigger the most confusing emotional experience inside me. It’s my fault because I somehow love you and I can’t deny that. No matter how hard I try I can’t help but love you.”

— Bryant T.
