Love is not a chore or a routine. It's not something you schedule in your calendar. Love takes compromise from both people, but it should never compromise your happiness.

A lot of people say a relationship takes work. I believe that's true to an extent, because it does take effort to sustain a relationship, and a certain level of commitment, but it shouldn't feel like heavy, slave labor either. When there's more blood, sweat and tears than smiles, laughter and happiness; there's a problem.

Be with a guy who lets you know how important you are to him. Do not allow yourself to settle. Do no allow yourself to make excuses. Do not allow yourself to stay in something that truly doesn't make your heart smile

I don't need a man to make me happy. I want a man who adds to my happiness in a way that is so indescribable, not even Webster could find written word to explain it.

When you do find love--real love, it's the most wonderful, awful feeling in the world. There's nothing like it. Love can make you feel invincible and vulnerable all at the same time. You're trusting someone with the most precious part of you...your heart

Real love isn't ordinary. Real love isn't artificial. Real love isn't something you can buy or manufacture, because it's not something you can sell. It doesn't wash away with a rainy day or evaporate when things get too heated. It sustains itself because that's what your heart does, it sustains the rest of you.
