“No matter how attractive a person's potential may be, you have to date their reality.”

“There’s a quote by Ethel Person that says: “People should not judge failed love affairs as failed experiences but as part of the growth process. Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime.”

“When something or someone is no longer bringing you up, but pulling you down—it’s time to let go. When something or someone is no longer adding to your life, but subtracting from it—it’s time to let go.”

“I would rather be alone with dignity than in a relationship that requires me to sacrifice my self respect.”

“My life exists in an imagined reality.”

“You don't have to sleep, you don't have to dream, to have nightmares.”

“If a hug represented how much I loved you, I would hold you in my arms forever.”
