Walter Winchell: "A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."

Love doesn't hurt. Lying, cheating and screwing with people's feelings and emotions hurts.

Remember, happiness starts with you. Not with your relationship, or your friends, or your job. But with you!

To those of you who have pushed me, thank you. Without you I wouldn't have fallen. To those of you who laughed at me, thank you. Without you I wouldn’t have cried. To those of you who just couldn’t love me, thank you. Without you I wouldn’t have known real love. To those of you who hurt my feelings, thank you. Without you I wouldn’t have felt them. To those of you who left me lonely, thank you. Without you I wouldn’t have discovered myself. But it is to those of you who thought I couldn’t do it; It is you I thank the most, Because without you I wouldn’t have tried.

Stop looking for a partner. Focus on your goals and rebuilding your life. The right person will eventually find their way to you.

Sometimes the person who has been there for everyone else needs someone to be there for them.

Don't compare your new relationship with your old ones, that's unfair to your new partner and a disaster waiting to happen.
