i-love-him sacrifice use
I love him wholly and unconditionally and without reservation. I love him enough to sacrifice a friendship. I love him enough to accept my own happiness and use it, in turn, to make him happy back.
loyalty eye heart
His loyalty, so fierce and unwavering, makes my eyes water and heart ache.
eye thinking people
I think the most well-adjusted people live in the present with an eye toward the future - I'm not among those.
thinking trying important
I think it's important to try to be present with whatever it is you're doing. And if you can't be present, take a break.
two break fixed
It always takes two. For relationships to work, for them to break apart, for them to be fixed.
revenge choices just-be-happy
Happiness is the best revenge, you know? Just be happy. It's a choice.
thinking what-if nostalgic
I'm nostalgic and I do think about a "what if."
disappointment void recognizing
...recognizing that there is more heartbreak in continuous disappointment than a void...
relationship thinking individual-happiness
I think of how each person in a marriage owes it to the other to find individual happiness, even in a shared life. That this is the only way to grow together, instead of apart.
love passion years
Maybe that's what it all comes down to. Love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to commit to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way. And maybe making that choice, again and again, day in and day out, year after year, says more about love than never having a choice to make at all.
regret fighting thinking
I think some of the biggest time sucks are regret and guilt, and I have to fight against those things all the time. In a way, it's a good thing, because it can motivate you to make amends and forgive, but regrets are really, I think, a supreme waste of time in many ways.
commitment love-is ties
...love is the sum of our choices, the strength of our commitments, the ties that bind us together.
love-and-friendship who-we-are ifs
Love and friendship. They are what make us who we are, and what can change us, if we let them.
people action reactions
You can only control your own actions. Not other people’s reactions.
