“Repeat after me: I only invest my energy into people who invest in me. I only date people who intentionally want to get to know me. I do not chase people and try to convince them to like me.”
Amy Chan, Breakup Bootcamp: The Science of Rewiring Your Heart

“There is no such thing as failure in love. Relationships end, but they don’t fail. Love is only a failure when you don’t learn and you don’t try.”
Amy Chan, Breakup Bootcamp: The Science of Rewiring Your Heart

“When you’re constantly taking care of the emotions of others, you avoid having to face your own.”
Amy Chan
