1. “At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy. That’s how we’re made. So you can waste your lives drawing lines, or you can live your life crossing them.”
3. “If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it’d be easy, they just promised that it’d be worth it.”
4. “Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature.”
5. “Sometimes we ease the pain by making the best of what we have. Sometimes it’s by losing ourselves in a moment, and sometimes all we need to do to was the pain is call a simple truce.”
6. “You deserve to be with somebody who makes you happy. Somebody who’s not gonna complicate your life. Somebody who won’t hurt you.”
7. “The expected is what keeps us steady. It’s the unexpected that changes our lives forever.”
8. “Knowing is better than wondering, waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worse, beats the hell out of never trying.”
9. “Each person we let ourselves care about is just one more loss somewhere down the line.”
10. “Here is the truth about the truth: it hurts, so we lie.”
11. “I can’t lose you. I won’t survive and that’s your fault. You made me love you. You made me let you in.”
12. “When it hurts so much that you can’t breathe, that’s when you know you’re still alive.”
13. “The problem is, fairytales don’t come true. It’s the nightmares that always seem to become the reality.”
14. “What defines us is how well we rise after falling.”
15. “The past is like an anchor holding us back. You have to let go of who you are to become who you will be.”
16. “Once in a blue moon, people will surprise you. And once in awhile, people may even take your breath away.”
17. “The sky will clear in an instant, and only then, in those quiet moments after the storm, do we learn who was strong enough to survive it.”
18. “Don’t spend all your time wondering what you are or who you like or whether it’s right for you or wrong for you. Just let yourself be happy.”
19. “If you aren’t willing to keep looking for light in the darkest of places without stopping, even when it seems impossible, you will never succeed.”
20. “If you love someone, you tell them. Even if you’re scared that it’s not the right thing. Even if you’re scared that it’ll cause problems. Even if you’re scared that it will burn your life to the ground. You say it, and you say it loud and you go from there.”
“So, do it. Decide. Is this the life you want to live? Is this the person you want to love? Is this the best you can be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More compassionate? Decide. Breathe in. Breathe out and decide.”
“I don’t know why we hold onto something we know we’re better off letting go of. It’s like we’re scared to lose what we don’t even really have. Some of us say we’d rather have something than absolutely nothing, but the truth is, to have it halfway is harder than not having it at all.”
“If there’s just one piece of advice I can give you, it’s this… when there’s something you really want, fight for it, don’t give up no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you’ve lost hope, ask yourself in 10 years from now, you’re gonna wish you gave it just one more shot because the best things in life, they don’t come free.”
“There’s a reason I said I’d be happy alone. It wasn’t ’cause I thought I’d be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It’s easier to be alone, because what if you learn that you need love and don’t have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It’s like dying. The only difference is death ends.This? This could go on forever.”
“Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can’t have. Desire leaves us heartbroken, it wears us out. Desire can wreck your life. But as tough as wanting something can be, the people who suffer the most, are those who don’t know what they want.”
“People have scars. In all sorts of unexpected places. Like secret road maps of their personal history. Diagrams of all their old wounds. Most of our wounds heal, leaving nothing behind but a scar. But some of them don’t. Some wounds we carry with us everywhere and though the cuts long gone, the pain still lingers.”
“Sometimes the past is something you can’t let go of. And sometimes the past is something we’ll do anything to forget. And sometimes we learn something new about the past that changes everything we know about the present.”
“When we follow out hearts; when we choose not to settle. It’s funny, isn’t it? A weight lifts. The sun shines a little brighter. And, for a brief moment at least, we find a little piece.”
“At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don’t really expect it. It’s like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it’s not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away.”
“We do our very best but sometimes it’s just not good enough. We buckle our seat belts, we wear a helmet, we stick to the lighted path. We try so hard to protect ourselves but it doesn’t make a damn bit of difference, cause when the bad things come, they come out of nowhere. The bad things come suddenly with no warning, but we forget, that sometimes that’s how the good things come too.”
“We all think we’re going to be great. And we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But, sometimes, our expectations sell us short. Sometimes, the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. The unexpected…is what changes our lives.”
“Sometimes it’s good to be scared. It means you still have something to lose…”
“Time flies. Time waits for no man. Time heals all wounds. All any of us wants is more time. Time to stand up. Time to grow up. Time to let go. Time.”
“And people can be broken, sure, but any surgeon knows, what’s broken can be mended. What’s hurt can be healed. That no matter how dark it gets, the sun’s going to rise again.”
“We’re friends, real friends. And that means, no matter how long it takes, when you finally do decide to look back, I’ll be here.”.
“Just because we can live without something, it doesn’t mean we have to.”
“Yes, horrible do things do happen. Happiness, in the fact of all of that, that’s not the goal. Feeling the horrible, and knowing that you’re not gonna die from those feelings, that’s the point.”
“Change, we don’t like it, we fear it. But we can’t stop it from coming or we get left behind. It hurts to grow. Anybody who tells you it doesn’t is lying, but here’s the truth: sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes, change is good. Sometimes, change is…everything.”
We’re petrified of saying too much or saying it wrong. When the truth is, the only wrong thing you can say is nothing at all.
“Some days, the whole world seems upside down. And then somehow, improbably, and when you least expect it, the world rights itself again.”
“Life is not a spectator sport. Win, lose, or draw, the game is on. So go ahead…argue with the ref, change the rules, cheat a little, take a break and tend to your wounds. But play. Play. Play hard, play fast…play loose and free. Play as if there’s no tomorrow.”
Don’t let what he wants eclipse what you need. He’s very dreamy but he’s not the sun, you are.

Don’t you wish you could just take it back? That thing you said? That thing you did? There’s no undo button. There’s only hoping we can learn. We can change, right? We can do better. We can’t take back what we’ve done. We can’t undo the past, cause the future keeps coming at us.

You’re letting her think you’re emotionally available. You’re letting her think she has a chance. And there is nothing worse in the world than thinking you have a chance when you really don’t.
