And though the symptons of lovesickness may be many, they all share a single cause and single cure: you.

If you expect nothing, you can never be disappointed. Apart from a few starry-eyed poets or monks living on a mountaintop somewhere, however, we all have expectations. We not only have them, we need them. They fuel our dreams, our hopes, and our lives like some super-caffeinated energy drink.

We are often so distracted by the internal war between what we want to do and what we have to do that we overlook what we need to do.

Worry may not change the outcome, but it definately affects the outlook.

Being in love with someone who doesn't even know that you exist isn't the worst thing in the world.

A true friend is someone who is always there for you, with no agenda other than the friendship itself. We rely on our friends to lift us up in bad times, to keep us grounded in good times, but most importantly, to be there for us when we need nothing at all.

It's not the time we spend but how we spend the time that truly tells our story.
