“Depression is like a bruise that never goes away. A bruise in your mind. You just got to be careful not to touch it where it hurts. It’s always there, though.”

“I think I’ll always be a romantic, you know? Someone could completely rip out my heart and walk away and I’d still be willing to believe in love again. They say hope breeds eternal misery, but really without hope, what else have we got?”

“I like people with depth, I like people with emotion, I like people with a strong mind, an interesting mind, a twisted mind, and also someone that can make me smile.”

“This is not goodbye, my darling, this is a thank you. Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return.

“Someone out there is ready for exactly what you have got to offer. They will know how to appreciate you and reciprocate all that you give, but most importantly they will never try to undercut your value or question your worth. But in order to attract that person, you have to become that person. Focus on getting ready for your blessings and you will never have to worry about your burdens.”
