What we’re not gonna do is play tug of war with our love. Either you love me or you don’t. Don’t get my hopes up if you’re not going to hold me. Don’t pull me close just to push me away because I’ve been there. And that’s not fair. As long as you try and…

& Live in the Moment
Someone asked the Dalai Lama what surprises him most. This was his response: “Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present. The result being that he does not…
& 31

“He likes me, broken and all.”
