The way to love someone is to lightly run your finger over that person’s soul until you find a crack, and then gently pour your love into that crack.

Two things define you. Your patience when you have nothing, and your attitude when you have everything.

Never waste your time trying to explain who you are to people who are committed to misunderstanding you.

You have to find the right distance between people. Too close, and they overwhelm you. Too far, and they abandon you.

It doesn’t make sense to call ourselves ugly, because we don’t really see ourselves. We don’t watch ourselves sleeping in bed, curled up and silent with chests rising and falling with our own rhythm. We don’t see ourselves reading a book, eyes fluttering and glowing. You don’t see yourself looking at someone with love and care inside your heart. There’s no mirror in your way when you’re laughing and smiling and happiness is leaking out of you. You would know exactly how bright and beautiful you are if you saw yourself in the moments where you are truly yourself.
