I'm no longer a prisoner of my fears. Which really just means I'm using real butter.

Don't you want the guy who'll forget about all the other things in his life before he forgets about you?

It's very tempting when you really want to be with someone to settle for much, much less - even a vague pathetic facsimile of less - than you would have ever imagined. Remember always what you set out to get, and please don't settle for less. These guys exist because there are a lot of women out there who allow them to.

Don’t be flattered that he misses you. He should miss you. You are deeply missable. However, he’s still the same person who just broke up with you. Remember, the only reason he can miss you is because he’s choosing, every day, not to be with you.

A good indication that it's not is if you're only staying with What's His Name because you're scared.

Anyone who assesses you or your relationship as disposable is not worthy of your time or tears.

Bored with the same type of misery over and over and over again.
