“we have failed to practise ourselves the kind of behaviour we expect from other people.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“Let’s occasionally look up from the spot in which we are because, wherever we happen to be standing, the sky above goes on for ever.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“If he’s not calling you, it’s because you are not on his mind. If he creates expectations for you, and then doesn’t follow through on little things, he will do same for big things. Be aware of this and realize that he’s okay with disappointing you. Don’t be with someone who doesn’t do what they say they’re going to do. If he’s choosing not to make a simple effort that would put you at ease and bring harmony to a recurring fight, then he doesn’t respect your feelings and needs. “Busy” is another word for “asshole.” “Asshole” is another word for the guy you’re dating. You deserve a fcking phone call.”
― Greg Behrendt
