You are never in love with anyone. You are in love with the prejudiced and hopeful idea of that person.
This is so true. And that's how you hear people say they fell out of love. No! You weren't even in love in the first place....you fell in love with the idea of being in love with that person, probably because of how you think they made you feel that certain time.
Acknowledge that the path to self-awareness and acceptance is painful. Nothing worth attaining comes without pain. To change from within, one must go through it all.
It is a hard pill to swallow, but it's important to.
Things that come easy are almost always not worth much.
