My best advice to any young person is to write down
the top ten things you want in a partner, then become that person.

Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive,
I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.
I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others;
to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings.
I am going to have kind thoughts towards others.
I am not going to get angry or think badly about others.
I am going to benefit others as much as I can.
Dalai Lama XIV

To me, fearless is not the absence of fear. It's not being completely unafraid.
To me, fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them.
To me, fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.
Taylor Swift

We meet the people we’re supposed to when the time is just right.

The most significant gifts are the ones most easily overlooked.
Small, everyday blessings: woods, health, music, laughter, memories, books,
family, friends, second chances, warm fireplaces,
and all the footprints scattered throughout our days.
Sue Monk Kidd

If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.
Marilyn Monroe

We can spend our lives letting the world tell us who we are.
Sane or insane. Saints or sex addicts. Heros or victims.
Letting history tell us how good or bad we are.
Letting our past decide our future. Or we can decide for ourselves…
What it’s going to be, I don’t know.
Even after all the rushing around, where we’ve ended up is the middle of nowhere
in the middle of the night. And maybe knowing isn’t the point.
Where we’re standing right now, in the ruins in the dark,
what we build could be anything.
Chuck Palahniuk

A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone.
It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to.
It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower.
Marianne Williamson

Those questions you have?
Whether he's the one, whether you feel about him the way you should,
or whether the relationship is going okay?
When you're not sure whether you're in love with someone or not, the answer is not.
Deb Caletti

Maybe you’re only allotted a certain amount of tears per man and I’ve used mine up.

We’ve all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers,
heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time,
heard damn poets urging us to seize the day.
Still sometimes, we have to see for ourselves.
We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons.
We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore.
Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant.
That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping,
and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying
Grey’s Anatomy

Wrong turns are as important as right turns.
More important, sometimes.
Richard Bach




(264)
In loneliness, in sickness, in confusion,
the mere knowledge of friendship makes it possible to endure,
even if the friend is powerless to help. It is enough that they exist.
Pam Brown




(263)
So just live, make mistakes and have wonderful times,
but never ever second guess who you are, where you have been
and most importantly where it is that you are going.
Sex and the City




(262)
You have to learn to select your thoughts the way you select your clothes every day.
That’s a power you can cultivate.
You wanna come here and control your life so bad, work on the mind.
That’s the only thing you should control.
If you can’t master your thoughts, you’re in trouble.
Eat, Pray, Love




(261)
Don’t wait for extraordinary opportunities.
Seize common occasions and make them great.
Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.
Orison Swett Marden

I’m not normal by conventional social standards,
and I’ll never be, so maybe I should stop worrying
and just embrace the insanity a bit.
John Mayer




(259)
If my world were to cave in tomorrow,
I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses
I have been lucky enough to have had.
Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home,
but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough."
Audrey Hepburn




(258)
Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that,
and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning.
You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth.
You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up.
And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt,
or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree
and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness.
Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.
Louise Erdrich
