I mean, if the relationship can't survive the long term, why on earth would it be worth my time and energy for the short term?

Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.

Being around someone who accepts and supports you will remind you to accept and support yourself.

---

You're going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it's always their actions you should judge them by. It's actions, not words, that matter.

Love is fragile. And we're not always its best caretakers. We just muddle through and do the best we can. And hope this fragile thing survives against all odds.

---

What mattered most was knowing that love was mine to give, without strings or expectations.

---

When you chase a dream, you learn about yourself. You learn your capabilities and limitations, and the value of hard work and persistence.

---

I know that somehow, every step I took since the moment I could walk was a step towards finding you.

---

It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.

---

If it’s over, then don’t let the past screw up the rest of your life.
