Finally I realized that I was never asking too much. I was just asking the wrong person.

If you don’t love yourself, you’ll always be looking for someone else to fill the void inside you, but no one will ever be able to do it.

Build people up instead of tearing them down, appreciate them instead of taking them for granted, and be kind instead of being insensitive. Let’s focus on compassion and love and let’s make the world a better place.

You deserve to be loved without having to hide the parts of yourself you think are unlovable.

Find the time to read, to smell the flowers, to paint your dreams, to have coffee with a friend, to learn a new craft, to write a letter, to bake a surprise cake, to go somewhere special, to really be with the person you love, or even do nothing for a while…

Choose people who choose you.

It’s not that people can’t love you if you don’t love yourself. It’s that you won’t feel it because it will always seem like you don’t deserve it.

I love the friends you don’t see for days, weeks, or months and the bond is still strong as ever.

All we can really do is love people. We can’t change them or make them do things they’re not ready to do. But we can love them… sometimes it’s from afar, but we can always send love their way.

Instead of avoiding your pain, work through it. Instead of withholding your tears, let them flow. Instead of closing your heart, open it. Instead of expressing hate, show love. Instead of judging another, appreciate them. Instead of being uptight and serious, be playful. Instead of fearing the unknown, move into it.

Some of the kindest souls I know have lived in a world that was not so kind to them. Some of the best human beings I know have been through so much at the hands of others, and they still love deeply, they still care. Sometimes, it’s the people who have been hurt the most who refuse to be hardened in this world, because they would never want to make another person feel the same way they have felt. If that isn’t something to be in awe of, I don’t know what is.

You can’t force anyone to value, respect, understand, or support you, but you can choose to spend your time around people who do.

You have to learn to care about people without taking on all their problems.

Grief is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.

Avoiding certain people to protect your emotional health is not weakness. It is wisdom.

It’s okay if you fall apart sometimes. Tacos fall apart, and we still love them.

Be the reason someone still believes in magic, truth, authenticity, compassion, intelligent conversation, loyalty, courage, and love that doesn’t have an agenda.

Go where your energy is reciprocated, celebrated, and appreciated.

The best dating advice I’ve gotten was: The signs you ignore in the beginning just end up being the reasons you leave later. You know right away who’s good for you and who’s bad for you. Don’t ignore that.

I hope you find love, but more importantly, I hope you’re strong enough to walk away from what love isn’t.
