Everyone faces the challenge of finding meaning to their suffering.
I do not believe, even remotely, that you have to have a partner in your life in order to be whole, in order to be complete, in order to be fulfilled. You just don't have to.
It's so much easier to tell people what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear.
If you want more, you have to require more from yourself.
If what you're doing isn't working, change it.
It's hard to see your own face without a mirror.
