"After a while, you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and changing a soul. You begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises. And you start to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open. You learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain. After a while, you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. You learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong, and you really do have worth. You learn that with every goodbye, there’s a hello. Take chances. Tell the truth. Date someone totally wrong for you. Say no. Spend all your cash. Fall in love. Be random. Say I love you. Cry. Apologize. Tell someone how much they mean to you. Drink until the bottle’s empty. Sing out loud. Tell an asshole how you feel. Let someone know what they’re missing. Laugh until your stomach hurts. Live Life."

Love & Understanding
Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others including Love.
One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left. Love was the only one who stayed.
Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help.Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?” Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.”
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel, “Vanity, please help me.” “I can’t help you Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, “Sadness, let me go with you.” “Oh…Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself”.
Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.
Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder her name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way.
Love, realizing how much he owed the elder, asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?”
“It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “Time?” asked Love. “But why did Time help me?”Knowledge smiled with deep Wisdom and answered, “Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.”
Bittersweet
For quite some time now, I’ve been confused. The way you make me feel every single time affects me so much. You say what you please and you don’t even care how your actions affect me. I’ve had too much of this already. You’re not the only person in the world I can love. There are other guys I will meet and some will be greater than you. I won’t be wasting my time loving you and not getting anything in return.
You can drift away now and this time it will not affect me. I’d rather have you gone permanently than only here when it’s convenient for you. And if you don’t leave me now, then I will do the honors of walking away.
I’ll get my life back the moment everything has ended. You’ll just be a memory. A lovely, yet bittersweet part of my past.
I’ve been stagnant for the past three months because I kept holding on to the idea of you but I’m tired of the games and I’d rather you not string me around forever.
Goodbye, love.
