There are many good quotes floating around SI, here is one I am pondering at this moment, as the thought of R drifts away, far away from me.

"The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them" - Maya Angelou

My signature line spoke to me the very first time I saw it, being that I am on the ocean as much as possible.

The one that says something to the effect of "I thought he was a KISA but it turns out he was just some asshole covered in tin foil" gives me SUCH a clear visual!

I was watching tv the other day and a couple was fighting, one of them said, "I am not your enemy, and I don't appreciate being treated as one."

One that suits many of my encounters:

Do you want me to tell you the truth, or do you want me to tell you what you want to hear?

One of my faves:

It is what it is, but it can become what you make it.

I hate you,

And then I love you.

It's like I want to throw you off a cliff,

Then rush to the bottom to catch you.

that's exactly how I feel about my WH sometimes.

Stop asking me to trust you while I'm still

Coughing up water from the last time

You let me drown.

The truly scary thing about undiscovered lies is that they have a greater capacity to diminish us than exposed ones do. They erode our strength, our self-esteem, our very foundation.

Love people enough to tell them the truth and respect them enough to trust that they can handle it.

Lies and secrets....are like cancer in the soul. They eat away what is good and leave only destruction behind- Cassandra Clare

I cannot undo what I have done;

I can't un-sing a song that's sung.

And the saddest thing about my regret-

I can't forgive me

And you can't forget -Lang Leav

Stop asking me to trust you while I'm still

Coughing up water from the last time

You let me drown.

no kidding!

it ain't over til it's over.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

You can't change anyone but yourself.

One day someone will hug you so tight all your broken pieces will stick back together.

You don't know what you've got til it's gone.

The grass is only greener on the other side cos you don't have to mow it.

The grass is greener where you water it.

You can't truly love anyone else until you learn to love yourself.

Nothing intellectual or new but just a few that I keep running through my mind to keep me going.

Here is a good one -

"If someone makes you miserable more than happy, it doesn't matter how much you love them, you need to let them go"

The first one that ever caught my eye here and has stuck ever since was

"Choosing the path of least regret"

“Your actions speak so loudly, I can not hear what you are saying.”

― Ralph Waldo Emerson

If your'e going through hell...keep going!

Above all, be the heroine, not the victim. - Nora Ephron

It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

- J. K. Rowling

You are the only one that can make yourself happy.

You should have told me. What you had in mind made me lose my mind. And we never would have wasted this time.

Kelly Price

I've been listening to a lot of "PInk". There's a lot of great lines from her songs.

"You're still written in the scars on my heart. You're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again".

My favorite is in my signature

Life is like a roll of toilet paper, you don't realise how much you wasted till you get to the end, just make sure you didn't waste too much of it on crap!.

Another is
