“There’s so much more
to life than finding someone who will want you, or being sad over someone who
doesn’t. There’s a lot of wonderful time to be spent discovering yourself
without hoping someone will fall in love with you along the way, and it doesn’t
need to be painful or empty. You need to fill yourself up with love. Not anyone
else. Become a whole being on your own. Go on adventures, fall asleep in the
woods with friends, wander around the city at night, sit in a coffee shop on
your own, write on bathroom stalls, leave notes in library books, dress up for
yourself, give to others, smile a lot. Do all things with love, but don’t
romanticize life like you can’t survive without it. Live for yourself and be
happy on your own. It isn’t any less beautiful, I promise.”

“You don't need
another Human Being to make your life complete, but let's be honest. Having
your wounds kissed by someone who doesn't see them as disasters In your soul,
but cracks to put their love into, Is the most calming thing In this World.”
