Not all heroes come swooping in to rescue a damsel in distress. I think the greatest heroes are the ones that inspire us, the ones that help us recognize the hero within ourselves.

So often, we don’t see the beauty in ourselves. If we keep observing our reflection in the distorted mirrors of bad relationships, we start believing we are ugly and unlovable. And the flaws aren’t in how we look, but in whose eyes we’re seeing ourselves through.

Relationships don't break you; they reveal you.

I think sometimes we fall in love just because it feels so good to love someone, to desire them, to yearn for another human being, to cross the boundary of aloneness that is part of human existence.

You kept me down so you would feel up,but love isn't a competition.The sun and the moon exist simultaneously in their aloneness, bestowing light, guiding life and time, because they work together.I'm not sure if I'm the sun or if I'm the moon,but I have found a love that embraces the equality of their inseparable connection.

I can’t reconcile who he was, the man who was so kind and loving and considerate, with who he is now. I know the truth is who I’m seeing now, but I keep hoping the former man will come back. It’s like I love someone who doesn’t even exist.

I loved being near you. Even though I felt that bubble you had around you, even though I never quite knew what you were thinking, damn, did I love being near you. Somehow, I knew you would rip me apart and drown me. Somehow, I knew we wouldn’t last. It didn’t matter. You were my sun. I loved feeling you upon me, around me, between me. Even though you could only love me from a distance, I didn’t care. I never felt more warmth inside of me than when you were against me.

I loved the way I could feel him deep in my soul.

He was always right beside me, but we were never in the same place.
