“Who you thought you were or your life as you knew it may have been smashed to pieces. But here’s the thing. The pieces are all still there. They may scatter, and they may hide. But they don’t go away. What each of us has the ability to do is courageously look for and gather the pieces and then reassemble them. The amazing thing is, they will fit together differently, creating a new picture of you and your life, one that shows the world what you are truly made of.”
― Keryl Pesce, Hello Beautiful: Break free from the chains of regret, comparison, and self-doubt, and discover the freedom, power, and beauty of being the real you.

“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.”
