The truest thing I know about relationships is that sometimes we don't know anything at all. And sometimes the one you get may not be the right one at all. But if you have hope, the universe has a funny way of showing you exactly what you need. The challenge is to let yourself be alone until the right one shows up. But you can't hide either. Heartbreak sucks... but not having heartbreak sucks more. The answers aren't in a lecture or a book. But maybe if you get yourself happy, you'll find the right one. I believe this because against all odds,I am still an optimist. that's the thing about love... if it were that easy, everyone would have it.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so I guess there's no easy way to move on from a relationship. You can't flip a switch and suddenly be over it...because the road really is full of hidden potholes. You can try staying in the relationship. You can stay home and dream of the perfect, unobtainable one. But in the end, it just takes time and some alaskan tap water...and the help of a town full of good men.thanks for sleeping with me.

one of the hardest things about being single is the believing that you're worth something alone. Too many single people sell themselves short. here's what I think.Maybe there's a real value to figuring out who we are alone. because we can't invest in someone really special... until we invest in ourselves. maybe being alone isn't something to be suffered through. Maybe it's something to celebrate. and sometimes the universe celebres with you. And just because you don't have someone to share the celebration with doesn't make it less beautiful. like the other night-- I got a meteor shower, just for me. not too shabby for a single girl, huh?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sometimes when we're quiet the answers we've been waiting for find their way to us. We can't always use words to find our way through the darkness. sometimes all you can hope for is some good conversation while you're figuring it all out. And maybe when you have no words left at all you're right where you need to be. because sometimes it's not until you stop talking that things really start.

friendship between a man and a woman is complicated... especially if they've shared something more. and there are times when love can be stronger and even more rewarding if it's built on the foundation of a really great friendship. but wherever it's headed, wherever it's been, being "just friends" doesn't have to mean settling for something less. sometimes it can be the brass ring after all.

Sometimes it's easier To take care of strangers Than the people you love. and then again, sometimes the people you love Are strangers. and although It's tough at times, you have to try to be honest. you have to try To be there for each other, and you have to believe not just in love But in the people you love. and you have to say the things You want to say before the chance disappears forever.

There's no such thing as steady ground. That's why the buddy system exists. It's important to find people you can trust, someone you know will pull you out of whatever hole you fall into. You can throw a line out to anyone, but it's up to them to catch it and hold on. In the end, you have to let yourself be tied to someone else. It's the only way we'll make it.

"the menaissance" by marin frist--my friend jack has taught me about balance that it's just as important in nature as it is in yourself...that when you care for someone,they can care for you back...that you can trust other people to help you out...and that you can trust yourself.you don't have to say everything you feel.I know this because I met jack...the first real man I've ever known.

the thing about a missed connection is Once you've realize you've missed it,It's already gone.You can't go back in time and make it all better.All you can do is move forward And try your best to make new memories to overtake the old ones...Kiss new people to overtake your old fears...Sometimes if you're very lucky,The old people can become new again.Everything comes into focus.And you can imagine what your future could be.Until the past comes back and knocks you off your feet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're all a little in the dark when it comes to love. Sometimes you have to run away from it to see it clearly. And sometimes you have to come home to try it again. The optimists know that There is an endless amount of love to go around. The others of us can only hope we are not the ones Left without a seat when the music stops. Even when you get what you want, At best, love is a shot in the dark. The chance to illuminate things about yourself you didn't know... Like that you're not over someone yet. Or that maybe you will be After a very long, very dark night.
