"If there's even a slight chance at getting something that will make you happy, risk it. Life's too short and happiness is too rare."

-A.R. Lucas

Life is too short to stress over people who don't deserve to be in your life in the first place. Love the people who treat you right, and forgive those who don't. (but don't let those who don't stay in your life!! forgiving is one thing but letting the trend continue is another.)

If you miss someone-- tell them.

If you want something-- go for it.

If you love somebody-- show it.

Don't ever let fear get in the way of what you want. One day it's going to be too late and you're going to wish you had taken more chances in life and that's how regrets are formed.

Ladies, "if he isn't in awe of you, he doesn't deserve the privilege of sitting in the front row of your life. That's reserved seating. You're going to change the world , your person should be encouraging and treating you like it. And so, if experiencing you in all that you are isn't changing his world, if he doesn't make you want to be better, if he makes you feel inadequate, or over the top, or too hard to love: he's got to go. Life's too short when you love this much."

Don't let someone get comfortable disrespecting you. If he doesn't care about your heart, he certainly doesn't deserve any other part of you.

The best love is the one that makes you a better person, without changing you into someone you're not. If they want you to change then they aren't the one for you!!! Everyone deserves to be loved for who they are. Someone who truly loves you sees you for the hot mess you are, sees the mood swings, and how hard to handle you can be sometimes, but still wants you and still chooses to love you. Never forget that love is more than just an emotion, it's a choice.

It's easy to say you love someone or something but to continue that pattern every day for the rest of your life can be challenging. Life is full of twists and turns and things that want to tear you down and that can put a lot of strain on love. But when you choose to love, it will be an amazing, happy life.

You deserve love and you'll get it.

Break out of your shell and give all you've got.

Love is spontaneous and you never know where you'll find it.

Life's too short when you love this much, so don't let it slip away.
