"The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers."
Thich Nhat Hanh

We can only learn and advance with contradictions. The faithful inside should meet the doubtful. The doubtful should meet the faithful. Human slowly advances and becomes mature when he accepts his contradictions.

We are always looking for the perfect relationship. The goal is to find that perfect someone who will make our lives a better place to be. But no one can give us what we don't already have. We have to ask ourselves, "Am I doing my best, giving my all, being the best I can be to myself?" When we can pass the test of self-acceptance, the perfect someone who will compliment all that we already are will walk right through the door.

~~Iyanla Vanzant

“Life is filled with unanswered questions, but it is the courage to seek those answers that continues to give meaning to life. You can spend your life wallowing in despair, wondering why you were the one who was led towards the road strewn with pain, or you can be grateful that you are strong enough to survive it.”
~ J.D. Stroube

“If you don't want to tear off the clothes of the person you're on a date with and jump into bed with them, then what's the point? I'd never date; instead, I'd have lots of good friends and hug them a lot and life would be easier and neater and uncomplicated."― Rachel Machacek



“You are correct in saying that desires often come from things we cannot easily gain - mine, being that of your love. By all accounts, I do wish I could steal it. But I am not that sort of man. I will wait. Forever and a day...I will wait."― Renee Vincent


“Love is giving up control. It’s surrendering the desire to control the other person. The two—love and controlling power over the other person—are mutually exclusive. If we are serious about loving someone, we have to surrender all the desires within us to manipulate the relationship.”
― Rob Bell

"Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness: the truth more first than sun, more last than star…" E.E. Cummings

Quotes About Alison Peers

“I know a person who, though no poet, composed some verses in a very short time, which were full of feeling and admirably descriptive of her pain: they did not come from her understanding, but, in order the better to enjoy the bliss which came to her from such delectable pain, she complained of it to her Goddess. She would have been so glad if she could have been cut to pieces, body and soul, to show what joy this pain caused her. What torments could have been set before her at such a time which she would not have found it delectable to endure for her DOMME/DOM's sake?”
Teresa of Ávila

See that the whole existence is celebrating.
These trees are not serious, these birds are not serious.
The rivers and the oceans are wild,
and everywhere there is fun,
everywhere there is joy and delight.
Watch existence,
listen to the existence and become part of it.”

“When you get lonely think to yourself : So WHAT BE lonely. Learn your way around loneliness. Sit with it, for once in your life !!! ― Elizabeth Gilbert


" I will never again use another person as a filler for my own unfulfilled yearnings. I was afraid of being lonely and alone, so I latched on to someone else to fill the void. This has created a horribly deep loneliness. And now I'm lonely in some horribly deep way and for a flash of an instant, I can see just how lonely, and how deep this feeling runs. And it scares the shit out of me to be this lonely because it seems catastrophic.
The loneliness you feel with another person, the wrong person, is the loneliest of all. " - The Vera Wood Files

I'm not sure what your problem is...but, I bet it's hard to pronounce.
