“You must learn her.
You must know the reason why she is silent. You must trace her weakest spots. You must write to her. You must remind her that you are there. You must know how long it takes for her to give up. You must be there to hold her when she is about to.
You must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept.
And, this is how you keep her.”

— Junot Díaz, This Is How You Lose Her
Tuesday, May 6, 2014
What matters is what he’s doing about it, and what he’s doing about it is nothing.
He may love you. He probably does. He probably thinks about you all the time. But that isn’t what matters. What matters is what he’s doing about it, and what he’s doing about it is nothing. And if he’s doing nothing, you most certainly shouldn’t do anything. You need someone who goes out of their way to make it obvious that they want you in their life.
when you randomly remember a good time with someone you're no longer close to
and you wonder if they ever think about you anymore.
But…as bad as it was,
But…as bad as it was, I learned something about myself. That I could go through something like that and survive.
How to Treat Yourself
Love yourself
Like yourself
Accept yourself
Value yourself
Trust yourself
Forgive yourself
Believe in yourself
Express yourself
Take care of yourself.
— Nizar Qabbani, My Lover Asks Me
“My lover asks me:
“What is the difference between me and the sky?”
The difference, my love,
Is that when you laugh,
I forget about the sky.”
“What is the difference between me and the sky?”
