“Live lightly. Don’t squander your energy pursuing materialistic possessions or people who will never truly value your heart.

After all is said and done, what matters is that you lead a memorable life and leave a meaningful mark on the world.”

“Come over. I don’t really mind whether we talk for hours, get blind drunk, or sit together in silence and look up at the stars. Sometimes, the world down here just gets a bit much, and I need to lose myself in someone’s company for a little while.”

“No one is too good for you. It all depends on the kind of attraction. You can be desired

for your looks, status, or the size of your bank account, but when you are desired for you—your heart, your soul, the way your mind works, nothing else matters. Spiritual connection surpasses all else.”

“Apologies don’t always warrant kindness and understanding. Move on, practice forgiveness, and put down all of your anger and resentment, but when someone’s actions have been exceptionally unkind or malicious you are under no obligation to show them compassion.”

“I am not perfect. I am sometimes selfish, occasionally self destructive, and prone to very brief, yet severe, spells of sadness.

But I would fight until every bone in my body was broken to protect you. That’s a promise.”
