I've been hit on plenty of times, mostly by men with little finesse who thought what was between their legs made up for what they lacked between their ears.

But the problem with looking back when you should be walking ahead is that you usually end up walking into something that hurts.

But sometimes it's the sunshine that frightens us more than the big black shadows.

When you find someone who makes you smile and laugh, when you find someone who makes you feel safe…you shouldn’t let that person go just because you’re afraid.

I waited for a long time and there was nothing but the pain of wanting something I couldn't seem to find.

Good things, by their nature, are fleeting. It’s those that bring us grief that linger.

Love is always real, even when it doesn’t last.

Appreciation has tremendous power. A beautiful thing is not beautiful until someone appreciates it.

Often the thing that brings you the most pain is the very thing that will lead you to the most gain and your breakthrough.
