You Deserve More Than… Half-assed effort. Apologies without changed behavior. Your negative self-talk. Being left on read for a week by someone who supposedly likes you. Being treated like a convenience. Being treated like a trial run. Pretending to be someone you’re not because you think that this person is more worth loving than who…

With each passing year, I see more and more of the sacrifices you made for me. Thank you for everything you’ve given and everything you continue to do. I understand now the depth of your love. Your heart beats for both of us, a constant presence that will never leave. I owe you everything. You…

I am proud of you. I am proud of you for trying, even when it hurts. It takes a lot to be the kind of person who challenges themselves to change; it takes a lot to be the kind of person who confronts all that is lost and haunted within them. I wish I could…

When you left, I really thought I would move on as fast as you did. Seventeen days later, you found someone to laugh with, while I was trying to understand why we weren’t meant to be. You found someone better- she’s not better than me, she maybe be better for you than me yet she…

Sometimes, love doesn’t win. Sometimes beautiful things end because you outgrow another human being, and sometimes love becomes too heavy to hold – the potential and the lessons and the evolution have reached a threshold, and there is nowhere else to place your hope. However, that is not something you should deem a failure or…

I hope you have the courage to keep loving deeply in a world that sometimes fails to do so. In a generation that orders up attention like they order up a meal, in a generation that has started to love with one foot out the door, I hope you have the courage to believe that…

Think about it like this: Your favorite songs always end. The credits of your favorite movie will always roll. This book you’re holding in your hands will, too, come to a close. Would you stop listening to music, would you stop watching movies, would you stop reading books just because they end? Shouldn’t we treat…

Take the long way home. Enjoy the scenery. Observe the way they wake up and take note of what makes them laugh. Know when it’s about them and when it’s about you. Find the spectacular in the mundane. Ask them to text you when they get home, to work, or their vacation destination. Be infinitely…
