“Replace the thoughts of ‘why is this happening to me’ with ‘what is this trying to show me’.”

If my heart is in it, it’s impossible for me to leave. That goes for relationships, friendships, business or just life in general. I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m controlled by my heart. However as soon as my heart feels unappreciated, she stops. And I leave. As if nothing ever occurred here..

I don't care how physically appealing you are, if your soul and heart aren't clean, you're unattractive to me.

Sometimes it is hard to completely trust. It is hard to put faith in someone who has let you down previously, and it’s not because you choose to have doubts, but rather, you are trying to fight your way out of the web the spiders are weaving around you. And getting out takes time—a lot of time, so even when it’s been consecutive days of sun, one little raindrop can make you see a storm.

People come and go. But that’s okay. Let their coming build your gratitude, and their going build your strength.

Be with someone that requires you to grow, makes you forget your problems, holds your hand, likes to kiss, appreciates art, and adores you.

Everything heals. Your body heals. Your heart heals. The mind heals. Wounds heal. Your soul repairs itself. Your happiness is always going to come back. Bad times don’t last.

intimacy means that we can be who we are in a relationship, and allow the other person to do the same. ‘Being who we are’ requires that we can talk openly about things that are important to us, that we take a clear position on where we stand on important emotional issues, and that we clarify the limits of what is acceptable and tolerable to us in a relationship. ‘Allowing the other person to do the same’ means that we can stay emotionally connected to that other party who thinks, feels, and believes differently, without needing to change, convince, or fix the other. An intimate relationship is one in which neither party silences, sacrifices, or betrays the self and each party expresses strength and vulnerability, weakness and competence in a balanced way.

I love when you become so close with someone that you can see parts of each other in one another and you begin to say the same things and steal lines from one another and have a similar sense of humor and 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 and you can sit in comfortable silence but also talk for hours it’s really hard to find that kind of compatibility
