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!
Imagine a ship trying to set sail while towing an anchor. Cutting free is not a gift to the anchor. You must release that burden, not because the anchor is worthy, but because the ship is.

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

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.

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

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
Happiness is always increased by being shared.
Everyone has a photographic memory, some just don't have the film....
