“There are many toxic myths about love, but perhaps the worst is that "love conquers all." This myth hurts us in all kinds of ways -- such as the untold zillions of hours and wasted tears spent by people trying to heal, reform or otherwise change a partner. Especially pernicious is the idea that we're supposed to "give until it hurts" -- in fact, for some of us, that the measure of our worth is our ability to give, right down to the last drop of ourselves. That is wrong. Love isn't supposed to hurt, and we should not and do not need to sacrifice our selves for good relationships.”

“Hell is a place on earth, they say.

Shakespeare got that one right.
For I have been torturing myself
over things that I could never change.
Hell is a place on earth;
it‘s in my mind.
and you are the one
sitting on the Devil‘s throne.
I can‘t forget you.”

“The character traits which you do not appreciate about another person are also the very same tools that person has used to circumnavigate their life. We must not face another individual while bearing criticism for what we don't approve about them, because the traits people develop are their necessary tools applied to their own unique lives. Instead of criticizing, ask yourself, what kind of a life has this other person lived, that require such tools to be necessary. And what tools might you be yielding as a result of your own distinct journey, that others may also not understand?”
