  Maybe that’s what it all comes down to, Love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to committing to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way. And maybe making that choice, again and again, day in and day out, year after year, says more about love than never having a choice to make at all.

  

  You’ve gotten so caught up in being alone that you’re afraid of what might happen if you actually find someone else that can take you away from it.

  

  A conversation is a risk. A real conversation changes the people who have it. It’s about exchanging ideas, considering other opinions, shifting positions. That’s why conversations are so difficult. You risk changing yourself, admitting you were wrong, coming to appreciate the other person’s perspective.

  

  Avoiding something doesn’t always mean that you hate it. It could also mean that you want it, but you just know it isn’t right. 

  

  A bad mistake becomes a good lesson, if you learn from it.

  

  Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can – there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.

  

  I think of the things I want to change, but I know they won’t. And I imagine how I want everything to be, and it just makes me sad that it’s not that way.

  

  Don’t ever apologize for something that wasn’t your fault. The right sort of person won’t want your apology, and the wrong sort of person will take advantage of it.

  

  Keep moving, don’t stand still. Always strive for taking action. The longer you stand still the harder it is going to be to start moving again. Do whatever it takes to take action toward your dreams. Even if it is something small, small steps add up into massive success over time.

  

  So you go back, you always go back to the last point when you were happy. And you hang on.

  

  It’s important to know when a relationship has run its course. Sometimes all you can say is, “I’ve learned all I can learn from this person and we’ve grown all we can together, it’s time to move on.”

  

  Don’t worry, you may think you’ll never get over it, but then again, you also thought it would last forever.

  

  Worrying won’t keep the bad stuff from happening. It just keeps you from enjoying the good. 

  

  If you find it necessary to judge me by my past, don’t be surprised when I put you there. 

  

  There is always a soft spot in my heart for you; even when you’ve done wrong, even when you’ve let me down, even when you couldn’t care less. 

  

  You give me more courage than anyone I have ever known. I’d skydive off a plane if I knew you’d be there right beside me. That’s what life is about. It’s those moments when you feel entirely carefree, like nothing can touch you. It’s those moments that make the hard parts worth it, those moments when I’m with you.

  

  The hardest task in the world is convincing yourself you don’t care, when in all actuality, you know with your entire being that you do.

  

  Assume that people are good until you actually and specifically learn differently. And even then, know that they have the potential for change and that you can help them out.

  

  Always find something to be grateful for. Think about what you are grateful for every day. If you can’t find anything, think about the children starving in Africa, I bet you will find something after that.

  

  If you make me an option, I will reassure you, I’ll make you just a memory.

  

  Learn from your past, move on, grow stronger. People are fake, but let your trust last longer. Do what you have to do, but always stay true, and never let anyone get the best of you. 

  

  He’s gonna be so sorry he lost you, so stop worrying. Forget the past, forget the pain, and remember what an incredible woman you are. When you do that, is when he realize what he’s lost.

  

  And you’ve got a lot to say, for the one that walked away.

  

  The worst feeling is pretending you don’t care about something, when really it’s all you think about.

  

  When we don’t know who to hate, we hate ourselves.

  

  I guess a big part of growing up is dealing with regret. Swallowing your pride. There are some things in life you can’t go back and change, no matter how much you want to.

  

  The harder you want to forget something, the more you seem to remember it.

  

  In life we must know where to stand, when to stand and what to stand about.

  

  Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.
