“And maybe you should stop pitying yourself,” he said. “Most people are lucky to have even one great love in their life. You have found two.”

“Don’t hang out with people who don’t love you. Don’t try to impress people who aren’t worth it. Don’t try to win people over who aren’t worth it. Focus on yourself, and focus on the people who are really awesome and who love you. Don’t hang out with people who make you feel like shit. Don’t spend your energy on them. There is so much pressure to be part of the right thing: well, you should create the right thing. If you don’t see it, create it. If you don’t see what you want, be the change you want to see.”

“I don’t want to make love last, I want to make love second to last. The last thing we’ll do is cuddle.”

“There’s not a chance we’ll reach our full potential until we stop blaming each other and start practicing personal accountability.”

“How many seconds does it take to win second? As many as it takes to win first—if you don’t use them properly.”
