Theresa

“Theresa, I know there's a part of you that believes 

you can change someone, 

but the reality is that you can't. 

You can change yourself, 

and Garrett can change himself, 

but you can't do it for him.”

~ Nicholas Sparks, Message in a Bottle

My Love Is Pizza Shaped

“My love is pizza-shaped. 

Won’t you have a slice? 

It’s circular, so there’s enough to go around.”

Annabeth Realized

“Annabeth realized that if six of them 

went on these two quests, 

it would leave Percy alone 

on the ship with Coach Hedge, 

which was maybe not a situation 

a caring girlfriend should put him in. 

Nor was she eager to let Percy 

out of her sight again—

not after they’d been apart 

for so many months.”

~ Rick Riordan, The Mark of Athena

Having A Sister Or A Friend

“Having a sister or a friend 

is like sitting at night in a lighted house. 

Those outside can watch you if they want, 

but you need not see them. 

You simply say, 

"Here are the perimeters of our attention. 

If you prowl around under the windows

 till the crickets go silent, 

we will pull the shades. 

If you wish us to suffer your envious curiosity, 

you must permit us not to notice it." 

Anyone with one solid human bond is that smug, 

and it is the smugness as much as the comfort and safety 

that lonely people covet and admire.”

~ Marilynne Robinson, Housekeeping

The Truth

“The truth is I didn’t need therapy; 

I just needed to feel loved 

and know that someone out there craved my attention.”

~ Robert M. Drake

Love Has No Limitations

“Love has no limitations. 

It cannot be measured. 

It has no boundaries. 

Although many have tried, 

love is indefinable.”

~ Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free
