Why spend your time fighting to make a damaging reality work? Be willing to move on from the people and situations that don't serve your heart. You are capable of creating relationships and circumstances rooted in respect, equality and love. But you have to believe you deserve them.

She wished she liked him more.She wished she loved him less.

We have to be willing to acknowledge the good, or all we bring is bitterness to the bad, and that doesn__ help make things any better.

Will you ever stop needing to be right?Will I ever stop needing you to be?

My mind loves you so much it wants to own you. My heart loves you so much it wants to set you free.

We loved each other.We hurt each other.We left each other.Now we hate each other.Let__ not stop there.Let__ finally forgive each other.
