She is oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. The same elements that are inside the rest of us, but I can’t help thinking she’s more than that and she’s got other elements going on that no one’s ever heard of, ones that make her stand apart from everybody else.

You can say you love someone – but unless you demonstrate that love through your actions, your words become meaningless.

- Stephen M. R. Covey, The Speed of Trust

Our eyes met in a room filled with people, and you gave me a smile of a dandelion. And for the first time in my living years, I felt a little less alone.

It’s all right to love someone who doesn’t love you back, as long as they’re worth you loving them. As long as they deserve it.

Most adult children of toxic parents grow up feeling tremendous confusion about what love means and how it’s supposed to feel. Their parents did extremely unloving things to them in the name of love. They came to understand love as something chaotic, dramatic, confusing, and often painful—something they had to give up their own dreams and desires for. Obviously, that’s not what love is all about. Loving behavior doesn’t grind you down, keep you off balance, or create feelings of self-hatred. Love doesn’t hurt, it feels good. Loving behavior nourishes your emotional well-being. When someone is being loving to you, you feel accepted, cared for, valued, and respected. Genuine love creates feelings of warmth, pleasure, safety, stability, and inner peace. — Susan Forward, Toxic Parents, p381
