“As long as you care
something will always hurt.”

“Love is a choice. It's not only a feeling.
It's not ecstatic fireworks or fluttery butterflies.
Love may start there but real love is a choice that we make every single day.
It's an intention and an action.”

Sheryl Paul

“Love is when two people feel the same way about each other and none of them have any recollection of how is started. Of how it began. Love is two people knowing how much they care. Without having to remind each other constantly. Without making each other feel left out. Love is when two people just know. When they understand each other without the use of words. When they speak their own language and no one else seems to get it but them. Love is two people who stay. Who form a bond as they go on. Who can't seem to make sense of their own lives without each other. Love is kind. Two people being patient with each other. Two people giving one another time. Their own time. Every precious moment that could be spent doing something else. Love is two people growing together. Giving each other guidance. Giving each other the kind of spark that sets their souls on fire. Love is showing it. That you care. That you appreciate. That you are willing to sacrifice anything to make the relationship work. Love is two people. Two hearts. Two souls. Two bodies. Fusing. Together. Feeling what the other feels. Knowing what the other knows. And never doubting any of it. Always pushing for greatness. Together. Always seeking a little more.”

“Toxic positivity is a cultural force that reinforces: "If you believe it you can achieve it!" "The only thing in your way is you!" "The key to success is a positive mindset!" "If you want to be healthy you must be positive!" "God will never give you more than you can handle!" …
Toxic Positivity leaves us feeling alone, and disconnected. It stops us from communicating. It stifles creativity and change. It silences people. It labels things as "happiness inducing" and “happiness preventing."”
