Walt Whitman: "I exist as I am, that is enough."

Don't tie your heart to a person who has nothing to offer you. Let it go. It might hurt for a while but when you get over it, you'll see it gets better.

Find your sense of self and be true to who you are.

You owe yourself the love you so freely give to others.

It’s okay to want things other people have; it is quite natural and we should want good things for ourselves. But we should not fool ourselves into thinking that other people have picture-perfect lives. Everyone struggles, everyone hurts, and everyone is enduring something that they probably won’t tell you about. Whatever picture people paint their life as, rest assured that any one life in all its parts is beautiful and dark, hopeful and weary, a blessing and an everyday battle. Focus on the good parts of your life and be grateful for your own set of problems because if you knew what everyone else was going through, you would probably still choose your own life.

Your life will get better when you realize it's better to be alone than to chase people who don't really care about you.
