“Perfect is overrated”
― Rival Darling

“If I waited until I felt confident to live my life and do the things I want to do, I’d never live." He stares into my eyes. "This lesson is one as old as time: Fake it till you make it. If you want something, pretend you’re the kind of person who’s not scared of it.”

“I’ll always be here for you. Anytime you need me, just say the word, and I’ll come running.”

“And, in the end, do you ever truly know for sure if you’re lovable?
What a question.
You don’t. You can’t. Of course not.
Life never hands out the answers like that.
But maybe that’s not even the right question.
Maybe love isn’t a judgment you render—but a chance you take. Maybe
it’s something you choose to do—over and over.
For yourself. And everyone else.
Because love isn’t like fame. It’s not something other people bestow on
you. It’s not something that comes from outside.
Love is something you do.
Love is something you generate.
And loving other people really does turn out, in the end, to be a genuine
way of loving yourself.”
― The Bodyguard
