“I guess what I’ve always wanted was someone who loves me enough to match my effort.”

In a world where so many yearn to be liked I rather be respected.

I write what I can’t say. I weep for these emotions.

I will minimize your place in my life till your absence is no longer an issue.

Not everyone you love is going to love you the way you need.

Sometimes letting go isn’t the loss you think it is.

Do not make excuses for someone not reciprocating what you give. You deserve someone who’s supportive and brings you happiness.

The first time you walked away, I felt like I couldn’t breathe. Every time after that, it felt normal.

Don’t get stuck with someone who’s not willing to commit all because you’re afraid to be alone.

Pain is inevitable. It’s how we choose to heal that matters.

I don’t need a big wedding just someone worth spending the rest of my life with.

Don’t let feeling lonely be a gateway to letting people who aren’t really for you into your life.

You deserve to be with someone who looks at you everyday with the realization that you are everything they need.

You and I were always made for this moment. Fate may have brought us together, but we chose to stay.

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

We say we love ourselves but allow others to mistreat us. How?

While you were claiming to protect me from others, someone should have protected me from you.

I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.

Learn to live between effort and surrender. Do your best and hope for what you want, but do not resist the direction of the wind.⁠

It hurts when your efforts aren’t appreciated.

Positive vibrations don’t vanish. Your efforts don’t go unnoticed.

You realize that trying to keep your distance from me will not lessen my affection for you. All efforts to save me from you will fail.

It hurts when your effort is ignored.

Don’t put effort into people who didn’t give it back.

When you write a song like ‘Forrest Gump,’ the subject can’t be androgynous. It requires an unnecessary amount of effort.
