When You Say

“When you say "I" and "my" too much, 

you lose the capacity to understand 

the "we" and "our".”

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

It Can Be Difficult

“It can be difficult to leave a long-term relationship, 

when our inner wisdom tells us it's time to let go. 

At this point, we can choose to let go 

and endure the intense pain of leaving behind the familiar 

to make way for a new chapter in our life. 

Or we can stay and suffer a low-grade pain 

that slowly eats away at our heart and soul, 

like an emotional cancer. 

Until we wake up, one day and realize, 

we are buried so deep in the dysfunction 

of the relationship that we scarcely remember 

who we were and what we wanted and needed to be.”

~ Jaeda DeWalt

I Used To Think

“I used to think I knew everything. 

I was a "smart person" who "got things done," 

and because of that, the higher I climbed, 

the more I could look down and scoff 

at what seemed silly or simple, even religion. 

But I realized something as I drove home that night: 

that I am neither better nor smarter, only luckier. 

And I should be ashamed of thinking I knew everything 

because you can know the whole world and still feel lost in it. 

So many people are in pain-no matter 

how smart or accomplished-they cry, 

they yearn, they hurt. 

But instead of looking down on things, they look up, 

which is where I should have been looking, too. 

Because when the world quiets to the sound of your own breathing, 

we all want the same things: comfort, love, and a peaceful heart.”

~ Mitch Albom, Have a Little Faith: a True Story

I Could've Sworn

“I could’ve sworn I was telling the truth 

when I told you I didn’t miss you.”

You Can Be In Love

“You can be in love and you can be in a relationship. 

But they’re not always the same thing.”
