“No one knows the things you have endured like you. Your flaws tell your story there is no need to hide them.”

She goes on. Despite the fears, struggles, obstacles and disappointments. She lives for love of self, love of life, and maybe one day for the love of someone else.

All those years now mean nothing besides lessons and memories. Eventually they’ll fade, you’ll fade, and the scars that once haunted me will be mere trophies of my resilience.

Stop looking for forever in temporary people.

I hope you learn to let go of all the things not meant for you.

I’m sorry never made it better. I just let it suffice.

I hate and love that there’s no hiding who I am from you.

There will be those who seek to destroy you and everything you stand for. No matter what, keep building.

I’ve defined love in so many ways before this moment, but this is by far my favorite.

Love me to the bone beneath the nerves beyond my mistakes beneath my veins and even as my heart breaks. Love me entirely or not at all.

Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring.

Desolation is a file, and the endurance of darkness is preparation for great light.

No matter what someone has endured, it doesn’t give them a license to be harmful to you.

That said, your values will not always be the object of public admiration. In fact, the more you live by your beliefs, the more you will endure the censure of the world.

To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted my no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it; to go through intrigue spotless; to forgo even ambition when the end is gained – who can say this is not greatness?

Solitude, isolation, are painful things, and beyond human endurance.

Do not mock a pain you have not endured.

The sea – this truth must be confessed – has no generosity. No display of manly qualities – courage, hardihood, endurance, faithfulness – has ever been known to touch its irresponsible consciousness of power.
