I don’t want there to be things you “love about me”, I want you to love “all of me”.

I love you crookedly because my heart's been unhinged from birth. The doctors gave me strict instructions not to fall in love: my fragile clockwork heart would never survive. But when you gave me a dose of love so powerful - far beyond my wildest dreams - that I felt able to confront anything for you, I decided to put my life in your hands.

Je ne veux pas que tu aimes "ça en moi", je veux que tu aimes "moi tout entier".

The torment of love can transform people into wretched monsters

You must love yourself. Each and every day: You must give yourself kindness, compassion, grace, forgiveness, respect and trust. As you learn to love yourself more, the depth and magnitude by which you can love others will also increase. Walk through life always carrying love in your heart, especially towards yourself. When you speak and act from a place of love, people will know. That is what will make them feel loved and appreciated. Love always comes from within. Being more loving towards yourself will also cultivate greater patience, empathy and compassion towards others. If you're having a bad day, try and remedy that by making a special effort to be kinder, and more compassionate to yourself. Give yourself more love. Do something nice for yourself. Always return your heart to a state of love. This will dramatically increase the quality of your life, the relationship you have with yourself and others. When we are more secure, happy and loved we can also give more to others. Always cultivate love and appreciation for yourself. You deserve your own love!

The older I get, the more I believe that the greatest kindness is acceptance.
