Just because you are available for a relationship, doesn't mean you are ready for one. Sometimes you need a break from external relationships to nourish the internal one.

It's bad when they don't treat you right... but it's tragic that you continue to allow it. Let today be the day you love yourself enough to say, NEVER AGAIN!

Sometimes letting go is simply allowing yourself to come to terms with the truth that you have been watering dead plants.

If you want to be with someone, be with them! Don't make excuses, cause drama, or make them fight for a spot in your life. Express your love and commitment with words and actions. And if you don't feel inspired to show your love this way, be kind enough to let them go... so they can find someone who will.

Emotional self-defense... When you set healthier relationship standards in your life, some people will take it personally. That’s their issue, not yours. The distance isn’t against them; it’s for you. It’s a boundary, not a grudge.

The first thing I crave when I'm dieting is the worst thing for me. I have come to realize that the same is true when I set new relationship standards.

As jealousy entered, trust left... and their dream of a relationship began to wither into a nightmare... a nightmare in which love just wasn't enough.

I believe in romance... in playfulness... in passion... in expressing feelings... in friendship... in all the ways love heals, nourishes, and transforms "you" and "me" into an "us".

Sometimes the memory of someone is better than the reality of them.
