"I’ve been giving up on people too easily. If they don’t call, if they don’t try - then I don’t. It’s not fair to lay the blame on them when I’m not calling either. I’m just as much at fault. I’ve got a lot of resentment for old friends - for letting me go without a fight. I just want someone to call and say, ‘I miss you, how are you?’ I just want to call someone and say, ‘I miss you, I’m sorry.’ I want to be brave enough to stay in one place."

Sometimes Love is not the kind that takes your breath away, not the kind that blows your mind, not the kind that makes you restless, not the kind that leaves you speechless, not the kind that makes you stupid, not the kind that will make you want to leave everything you had or that kind which excites you every time he's around, not the kind that leaves you wanting more... Sometimes love is the kind that makes you smile quietly, the kind that makes your heart at peace, like that feeling when you know there's nothing else you need but that moment when He's there beside you and your heart feels at peace, because you're content and the room where your fears once reside is no longer found, just because He's there... And you know there's nothing more missing, you know you had found home.

"I want a soul mate who can sit me down, shut me up, tell me ten things I don’t already know, and make me laugh. I don’t care what you look like, just turn me on. And if you can do that, I will follow you on bloody stumps through the snow. I will nibble your mukluks with my own teeth. I will do your windows. I will care about your feelings. Just have something in there." - Henry Rollins

I think that you always meet people when you’re not looking [for love] because when you’re looking, you’re willing to settle, and when you’re not, you know you really like the person.

The key is consistency and persistence. Don't you know?

What you don't understand is that I'm not the type who can stay still in one place, so you have to give me a reason to stay. Make me stay. I want you to.

“It’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.”

— Chuck Palahniuk
