That Summer Quotes

“You know, I have always heard it said that in order to fully love someone else, you need to love yourself. While I mostly agree, I believe there’s more to it. Loving yourself means respecting yourself—your goals, your wants, your physical and emotional needs. Some people go through life, only focusing on themselves, but I believe the real joy in life comes when you can do those things as well as support others. There are times in your life when you need to be selfish, and that’s okay, but there are also times in your life when you should give in abundance because not only does it help fulfill your needs, but others’ needs as well.”

“Dani, I told you last night that we’ll always be best friends. You and me. We’re everything. But it’s painfully obvious that you aren’t interested in being anything other than friends. I guess I’m just done waiting for you.” “Waiting for me? What do you mean?” He takes a step closer to me, invading my personal space. Normally, I welcome it, but right now, it seems like he’s mad. “I’m done waiting for you to figure out that I’m the guy.” “What guy?” I ask, now totally confused. “Your forever guy. The dream guy. I’m yours. You just don’t seem to know it yet.”
