“ He misses you? Good. He should. You’re sexy, pretty, fun, outgoing and fun to be around. Guys that haven’t met you yet, miss you. But don’t get back together with him, because somewhere out there, there is a guy searching really hard for you. He’s the one who deserves someone as amazing as you, so wait for him. Give yourself to him and don’t go back to the asshole who didn’t realize what he had when you were with him.’’

“ i want warm summer nights, to lie in a hammock, staring at the stars, telling you stories. i want to dip my toes in the water, to dangle my feet off the edge of the dock and sit leaning forward, looking at you, laughing. to huddle around a fire on the beach, salt water drying into my hair, reading from that book you always carry. i want to sit next to you on a log and sleep next to you in a tent. i want to wake up early and make pancakes over a fire, to wash the dishes in the river while we swim. to build sandcastles and castles-in-the-air. i want to drive home with my bare feet on the dashboard, the windows down, my hair whipped in every direction from the wind rushing through open windows. i want to hear your voice shouting the lyrics to the songs on the radio that you don’t know the words to. i want to be able to look at you and smile and not say a word. to have adventures and passion and to truly live. to truly love.’’

“ Love? It’s kind of complicated, kid - but I’ll tell you this. The second you’re willing to make yourself miserable to make someone else happy - that’s love right there.’’

“ Men aren’t stupid, and you don’t need a complicated set of rules to find a good one who loves you. Here’s the only rule you need: if a man loves you, he will do anything he can to keep you around. Anything.’’

“ I don’t want to lose you but I don’t want to use you just to have someone by my side.’’

“ We let our hearts get broken to see who will come and fix them.’’

‘’

I'm in love with you. You know, I know, but we both just keep our mouths shut. I hate it.’’

“ Don’t say you love me unless you really mean it, because I might do something crazy like believe it.”

“ We love. We hurt. We make mistakes, and we keep on living. We are all so wonderfully different, and yet so beautifully similar. This life fills us up with a great many things; know that there is always someone else somewhere that knows what it’s like. Someone else feels how you feel and questions what you question. It may seem as though you are in your struggles or your worry; rather, these burdens are shared by many.”
