I love this quote. 

J. Ashley

“Love and pain sometimes accompany each other into one’s life. And when the pain of the love is killing you, there is really nothing you can do but wait and see what happens, which sensation will overcome the other, or if you will die before you could find out. I learned this lesson all but too quickly. But with life and love comes hurt and sadness. If pain forever was what I would live through just to save the person who was doing it to me. Then I welcomed the torment with open arms.” ― J. Ashley

Not everyone is going to love you the way you want them to love you. Not everyone is going to care about you the same way you care about them. There will be someone in your life that will turn around & walk away. This is beyond your control. As sad as it is, this is reality. If they choose to walk away from you, let them. Nothing you can say or do is going to change their mind. All you can do is move on. Don't dwell on the whoulda, shoulda, coulda's. Yes it will be tough, and yes it hurts, but remember it was their choice not yours. If someone wants you in their life, they will find time for you. You can't control what is beyond your control.

C.S. Lewis

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

Mahatma Gandhi

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always."
— Mahatma Gandhi

Marilyn Monroe

"I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love."
— Marilyn Monroe

Nicholas Sparks

"I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.."
— Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook)

I have no idea who wrote it or said it. I found it on facebook. But I still need its gentle reminder. Enjoy!

Laugh when you can. Apologize when you should. And let go of what you can't change. Love deeply & forgive quickly. Take chances & give your everything. Life is too short to be anything but happy. You have to take the good with the bad. Love what you have. Always remember what you had. Forgive & forget. And always remember.. that life goes on.

Thomas S. Monson

"It's so easy to take others for granted, until that day when they're gone from our lives and we are left with feelings of 'what if' and if only'.. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey and share our love with friends and family. One day, each of us will run out of tomorrows. Let us not put off what is most important." •President Thomas S. Monson

Viktor Frankl

This is from my favorite book. Enjoy it!


"For the first time in my life I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth - that Love is the ultimate and highest goal to which man can aspire. Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love." — Viktor Emil Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning)
