“Loving someone and having them love you back is the most precious thing in the world. It's what made it possible for me to go on…”

“That was the problem with loving people: it made you weak. It made you need them. It made the thought of not having them the worst thing in the world.”

“We like to tell the lie that when we love someone else, we are doing it for them. We aren't. Love is selfish. It is the most selfish act in the world. It is selfish because it is the most beneficial thing in the world to YOU. Because of this, it should not wait. Do not wait for someone to give you love, for you to love them. Be selfish and love people without reservation. Love makes you whole. Love fulfills you. Love will strike fear from the record of your soul. What a gift to allow yourself to become whole, fulfilled and fearless.”

“The scariest thing in the world is thinking someone you love is going to die.”

“The thing I am most afraid of is love. When you say you love someone you are giving them license to hurt you.”

“If you loved someone, really loved them, would you let them go?”

“Love is the one thing in this world that you should never have to go through alone… For unreciprocated love is the most soul crushing experience you will ever go through.”

“It's an odd thing about love. When someone you love cries, your heart melts. But when someone you don't love cries, you look at them and think, Why are you telling 'me' this?”

“To love someone enough to let them go, you had to let them go forever or you did not love them that much.”

“There's a pleasure to loving someone even when you know there's no chance in them loving you back. The pain I felt let me know I was still alive.”
