Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

You deserve to feel good about yourself.

We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have. I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way.

This is so beautiful, this is beautiful.

I’ve read this a few months ago but I have to admit… it stuck.

This quote struck me pretty hard-ish.

You cannot give what you dont have..

No sweetie, I believe that you can fall in love no matter what state you are in. But sometimes we love people and then we hurt them, and most of the time that’s because we are also hurting and insecure and unsure of the world. And of course, it’s all part of the growing process and everyone goes through it, but that doesn’t mean it’s right. Does that make sense? Sometimes we are truly head over heels in love with someone but we are so scared of losing them that we hold on too tight. Or sometimes we love someone but we get jealous too easily. There are many many ways in which you can love someone but not love them *properly*. And personally, I believe you can only start loving someone else properly when you start loving yourself. ㅡSue Zhao

He hates me because I represent him settling down. He doesn't hate me, but I'm there. I'm the trigger.
