You are the cheese to my macaroni,You are the Horizon to my sky, you are the bacon to my eggs, you are the laces to my sneakers. you are the jelly to my peanut butter you are the smile to my face,you are the gravy to my mashed potatoes, you are the bubbles to my bath, you are the milk to my cookie, you are the ink to my pen, you are the ketchup to my french fries, you are the water to my ocean, you are the icing on my cupcake. 

Love is when you can’t be apart from someone for too long…you’re always thinking of them, and when you’re with them you never want to say goodbye. Love is far from simple. It’s quite complex. It’s a mix of about everything. It’s sadness, joy, passion, hatred, excitement, it’s almost every feeling you can imagine and more. You know love when you find it, it’s that person that when they smile it brightens up your day, you can’t stop staring at them for fear of losing them, they’re always on your mind, you daydream of being with them, even if they’re less than 20 feet away…and you can’t stand it when they’re not with you, the worst feeling you could ever feel is when you know that person you love is not with you…you can’t tell when love will happen, you just know when it does, that moment when you first lay eyes on that person, and you never want to look away…that is love. Nothing less.

The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

I have been through many rough patches in my life. I have had bad relationships and bad friends. I made a million wrong choices in my life. But I realized that all my life I was only making efforts to make my friends stay and make my relationships work. Although I know that I can’t keep all the people happy all the time, I was only trying to make other people happy at the cost of my happiness. But now I will live for myself and for my self- respect. I am not here to live up to anyone’s expectations. I will not allow anyone to take me for granted anymore because I will never be a victim of deceit or manipulations. I am free spirited and I have learned to live and survive on my own terms. I am invincible and you cannot break me even if I get emotionally worked up. You can win my heart with love but I will never be a victim of anyone’s selfish motives. I have my own unique personality and I am confident that I can handle my life beautifully. 

You make me beautiful, 
you make me stand in awe; 
you step inside my heart, and I am amazed 
I love to hear you say,
who I am is quite enough; 
you make me worthy of love and beautiful.

Life is so precious
Grudges are a waste of 
perfect happiness, Laugh 
when you can, Apologize
when you should and
let go of the things
you are not able to change..

I do not define myself by how many roadblocks have appeared in my path;
I define myself by the courage I have found to forge new roads.

I do not define myself by how many disappointments I have faced;
I define myself by the forgiveness and faith I have found to begin again.

I do not define myself by how long a relationship lasted;
I define myself by how I have loved, have been willing to love again, and how I still love.

I do not define myself by how many times I have been knocked down;
I define myself by how many times I have struggled to my feet.

I do not define myself by how often I have appeared a fool;
I define myself by the number of risks I have taken.

I do not define myself by the number of mistakes I have made;
I define myself by the knowledge I have learned from trying a new way.

I am NOT my pain…

I am Not my past…

I AM that which has emerged from the fire.

Life is a beautiful unending journey ~
There is a time to be in love and there is a time to move beyond it. There is a time to be related and enjoy the relationship, and there is a time to be alone. And everything is beautiful.

The road you are traveling may be a bit scary at times, but don’t lose faith. Don’t listen to your fears and the fears of those around you. Don’t let old setbacks work their way into your present thinking. And most of all, don’t give up on what’s important to you.
