I'll continue pursuing my happiness, even if for now, I have no idea what the future is trying to make me do.

You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress, simultaneously.

Sophia Bush

When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.

How amazing it is to find someone who wants to hear about all the things that go on in your head.

Nina LaCour

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

Desmond Tutu

The world still needs love. The world still needs light. The world still needs encouragement and hope. I can't hide right now, I have to do my part and contribute good to the world.

There is no such thing as the "perfect" man or woman. Just find one who tries hard enough to make you happy and wants to grow with you.

How do you know someone is for you? They bring peace you haven’t found anywhere else. They support your effort. They water your growth.

Malanda Jean-Claude

You have to meet people where they are, and sometimes you have to leave them there.

Iyanla Vanzant

The world only exists in your eyes. You can make it as big or as small as you want.

F. Scott Fitzgerald / The Crack-Up
