While I fix myself

I didn’t need you to fix me, I needed you to love me while I fix myself.

It hurt because it mattered

So often we try to make other people feel better by minimizing their pain, by telling them that it will get better (which it will) or that there are worse things in the world (which there are). But that’s not what I actually needed. What I actually needed was for someone to tell me that it hurt because it mattered. I have found this very useful to think about over the years, and I find that it is a lot easier and more bearable to be sad when you aren’t constantly berating yourself for being sad.

It’s about who came, stayed by your side

Friendship isn't about who you've known the longest, it’s about who came, stayed by your side, and never left you when you needed someone the most.

Magic is never what you expect it to be…

Magic is never what you expect it to be…
But it is often what you need.

Pride

Sometimes it’s hard to open your hand, but you need to…

Friends

Fight for you
Respect you
Include you
Encourage you
Need you
Deserve you
Stand by you

The minimum you need to be happy

Figure out what’s the minimum you need to be happy, and get there.
If there is an upside from that, all the better.

To accept you completely...

You don’t need someone to complete you.
You only need someone to accept you completely.

All we need is to be needed

We have so many needs in our life, but at the end of the day, all we need is to be needed.

A special heart that listens

To be kind is more important than to be right.
Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks
but a special heart that listens.

Sometimes you just need to be alone…

Sometimes you just need to be alone…
not to be lonely, but to enjoy your free time being yourself.

Take care of you

Stop putting your own needs on the back burner. – The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.  Yes, help others; but help yourself too.  If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.

Start making your own happiness a priority. – Your needs matter.  If you don’t value yourself, look out for yourself, and stick up for yourself, you’re sabotaging yourself.  Remember, it IS possible to take care of your own needs while simultaneously caring for those around you.  And once your needs are met, you will likely be far more capable of helping those who need you most.

Always be there

Don’t promise to always be there for someone, 

and then leave when they leave you the most.

I don’t need you

I was born without you so obviously I don’t need you to survive.

Alone

I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel.
