“The hardest part of letting go is the "uncertainty"--when you are afraid that the moment you let go of someone you will hate yourself when you find out how close you were to winning their affection. Every time you give yourself hope you steal away a part of your time, happiness and future. However, once in a while you wake up to this realization and you have to hold on tightly to this truth because your heart will tear away the foundation of your logic, by making excuses for why this person doesn't try as much as you. The truth is this: Real love is simple. We are the ones that make it complicated. A part of disconnecting is recognizing the difference between being desired and being valued. When someone loves you they will never keep you waiting, give their attention and affection away to others, allow you to continue hurting, or ignore what you have gone through for them. On the other hand, a person that desires you can't see your pain, only what they can get from you with minimal effort in return. They let you risk everything, while they guard their heart and reap the benefits of your feelings. We make so many excuses for the people we fall in love with and they make up even more to remain one foot in the door. However, the truth is God didn't create you to be treated as an option or to be disrespected repeatedly. He wants you to close the door. If someone loves you and wants to be in your life no obstacle will keep them from you. Remember, you are royalty, not a beggar.”

“Closure
/klōZHər/ Noun

1. The thing women tell you what they want, but secretly they really want you to tell them why you don’t want them again, so they can try one last time to convince you that you were wrong.

2. The warped mentality that having someone tell you honestly why they don’t want you is going to somehow make you feel peace, so you can move on.

3. The neat packaging of finishing conversations because you have been stewing over it insecurely about the length of what a stalker does.

4. The one thing women don’t give themselves because if they didn’t care about the jerk they wouldn’t still be hanging onto another conversation that tells them what they already know: He just isn’t that interested in you.

5. The anal retentive art of perfecting every ending with meaning, rather than just excepting you went through something rather sucky and he doesn’t care.

6. The act of closing something with someone, when in reality you should slam the door.”

“Men who make all the decisions in a relationship are also the ones who will blame you when they don’t work out as they expected.”
Heather Chapple, Write like no one is reading

Osho
“You have certain ideas about what should happen... expectations. And if life is not moving that way, something is wrong. Nothing is going wrong! Life is going on its own, on,!y you have some fixed ideas. So drop those fixed ideas. Life is never going to follow you... you have to follow life. So if it is muddled, be muddled. What can you do?”
Osho, Beloved of my heart: A Darshan diary

Shannon L. Alder
“If you have to be told how you should feel then those feelings are not strong enough to make you feel alive; they become rules that don’t fit your life script. Not every person will place the same importance as you do on one of the six human needs: certainty, variety, significance, connection/love, growth or contributions. When you know what is most important for yourself and learn to recognize what need is the most important to others, then you can begin to unlock the real reason behind conflict.”
Shannon L. Alder

Virginie Despentes
“Tu connais l'effet que je fais au mecs: les premiers mois, ils adorent ça, que j'aille si mal et ils veulent toujours m'aider. Seulement point trop n'en faut: trop de douleur pourrait tacher le canapé...”
Virginie Despentes, Bye Bye Blondie

“The key to successful relationships is recognising who can fulfil what - naturally.
Relationships fail, we remain discontent because we are forcefully trying one to fill all.

This is a powerful realisation, when it hits you, it can make you more content with relationships, people and even yourself , especially when you start to apply the same principle on you.

You cannot be everything for someone ...just as no one person can be everything for you.”
Wordions

Wataru Watari
“When she greets you in the morning, that's just common politeness. When she drops her handkerchief in front of you, that's carelessness. And when a girl at your part-time job gives you her e-mail address, it's because she wants you to cover her shift. I don't believe in coincidence, fate, or destiny. All you can believe in are company orders.”
Wataru Watari, やはり俺の青春ラブコメはまちがっている。5

Jyoti Patel
“Your tune,
That’s what stays in my mind
All the time
But, I never knew that
It would be the only thing
For the lifetime!”
Jyoti Patel, The Forest of Feelings

Dave Grohl
“In a way, I cherish my numerous heartbreaks almost more than the actual love that preceded them, because the heartbreak has always proven to me that I can feel.”
Dave Grohl, The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music

“Life is a funny arena.

Marrying early doesn’t always mean making a wrong choice. Marrying late doesn’t always mean making the best choice.

Infact marrying late may mean you “settle” for whoever you get which may not actually be who is best for you.

NB: life is a funny arena...”
Ian Ochieng

“Sometimes, in a relationship, we fail to put two and two together because we want so much to keep one and one together.”
Robert Brault

“THEY SAY "MOST RELATIONSHIPS FAIL DUE TO THE POVERTY." I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH THAT.I HAVE SEEN COUPLES WHO COME FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES AND THEY STARTED THEIR LIFE FROM NOTHING, THEY DON'T EVEN SPOKE ENGLISH AND TODAY THEY LIVE BETTER LIFE THAN MANY COUPLES I KNOW WHO ARE BORN IN USA. I THINK MOST RELATIONSHIPS FAIL DUE TO THE LACK OF MOTIVATION, LACK OF COMMUNICATION AND LACK OF GOALS.”
Beta Metani' Marashi

“The worst type of asshole is an asshole who doesn't realize he's an asshole.
He's an asshole who honestly thinks he's doing right and treating her right, when all along he is just being an asshole.”
Mark W Boyer

“Guys will get the girl that everyone wants... then forget she’s still the girl that everyone wants......”
Ian Ochieng

Addison Lane
“He could make a new life here. There might be bags of cotton candy and pretzels. Those things never go bad. Though a life lived on stale pretzels seems like a pretty steep sentence for crimes of the heart.”
