It Is Not Our Differences That Divide Us.

It is not our differences that divide us.

It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.

Once we start loving ourselves, people no longer seem good to us unless they are actually good for us.

If we wait until we’re ready, we’ll be waiting the rest of our lives.

You can't build a relationship with someone who is attracted to your absence

who recognizes the value of your presence only when they start to miss it, who disappears without a word and reappears as they please, who is incapable of respectful communication: pulls away, stonewalls, or ghosts instead of stating their needs clearly, whose emotional unavailability locks them in their shell and prevents them from forming deeper bonds, who only shares with you pieces of themselves; who is only interested in pieces of you.

A relationship is built with intentional effort -it is a choice that translates into reality when it is consistently repeated, regardless of how easy or difficult it gets.

You can only build a relationship with someone who is committed to the process.

How many times will I let myself be a second-choice before I learn that there are no runner-ups in love

There's the story, then there's the real story, then there's the story of how the story came to be told. Then there's what you leave out of the story. Which is part of the story too.
