"I smile to hide the pain and keep my tears to myself so that others don't have to bear my pain I try to be strong but my selfish feelings make me feel alone. I want to be heard, not helped with my silent pain. I want understanding, not consolation. When I don't share what I'm fighting, I make others pay for my fears."

"I do believe that when you lose someone, it’s not just the person you miss, it’s the feelings that go with them. Even if the relationship has changed you can still care and appreciate the time you had. It hurts when your feelings are not reciprocated but you know that love doesn’t require you to wait for their decision. Ultimately, learning to let go is learning that your heart deserves to be cared for as much as you have cared for others."

Be afraid, but never let fear stop you

Every mistake teaches a lesson that success never could

Small steps today lead to big changes tomorrow
