...you are defined by how you live your life, not whom you live it with, and certainly not by what you gave up to be with that person.

Life's biggest rewards come from the biggest challenges

There's nothing wrong with sending a quick note if you're busy or just want to flirt, but it's hard to have any real interaction over text. In the buffet of communication, text messaging should be a side dish, not the entree.

If a man is really into you, nothing will stop him from being with you - including a fear of intimacy.

The word “busy” is the relationship Weapon of Mass Destruction. It seems like a good excuse, but in fact, in every silo you uncover, all you’re going to find is a man who didn’t care enough to call. Remember: Men are never too busy to get what they want.

Wasting time with the wrong person is just time wasted.

If you bury the pain deep down it will stay with you indefinitely, but if you open yourself to it, experience it, and deal with it head-on, you'll find it begins to move on after a while.
