Love Quotes

"Love isn't about finding someone perfect; it's about learning to love an imperfect person perfectly."

The only thing in the world I want more than you is for you to love me as I love you."

"All I know is if we could be friends, lovers, and have good conversations"

"Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was beyond my control."

"Sometimes I wish I had never met you, because then I could go to sleep at night not knowing someone like you was out there."

"I was finally getting over you, believing we were through...I even had crushes other than you...I was walking with my head high, thinking I wasn't going to fall, then you had to look at me, and smile, and ruin it all."

If you examine good, you can see that it is the opposite of selfishness:Selfishness is a lack of love. Wanting to possess/own people for ourselves only.

We must not force our own ideas of right and wrong on other people. You can, and you must ask "Is this right for me to do?”

If you love someone, don't you forgive them if they hurt you?
If you do not forgive others, how can you expect to be forgiven?

Practice to forgive others.

out of the game of love-MLK

Monday was spent lazily in bed, watching the first two seasons of the L-Word. She suggested we do something. Then I picked up Dotsie because he was whimpering. She saw how he had scratched her leather chair and told me how angry she was and how she wanted to slap my dog. Instead of talking about it, i took dotsie in my arms and said goodbye to her. Perhaps we both knew this was the beginning of the end. Again the familiar feeling distance between us. I texted her once on Tue morning and she returned the text that evening. Wed morning rolls around, I call her to see whats going on, she is distant and says we should "chill." She asked if that was what i wanted? i thought we were happier alone than with each other. We said our goodbyes. She texted me asking if she could use my ins. to go to therapy, for closure i suppose. This is the time I needed her the most and she just left me.
