The "natural" instincts when someone is going through a breakup are counterintuitive to healing. For instance, many people stop eating or eat very unhealthy, and if your body is not fed the necessary nutrients during this trying time, it's extremely difficult for you to heal emotionally. So, first things first, force yourself to eat, even if that entails drinking green smoothies so you're getting nutrients in your body.

People will become what you think of them. See them for their beauty and they will rise up. See them for their darkness, and they will fall.

Hold yourself on your own. A man's job in a romantic dynamic is not to be your butler, bank account or your father.

If you want to know someone, just look at who they choose to spend their time with.
