“Love means, “I accept you as you are, exactly as you are. It does not mean that you are perfect, but it does mean that every single thing about you is 100% acceptable. Many things are even more than just acceptable, they are wonderful! But there is absolutely nothing you need to change in order to become loveable.” The moment you believe these things about yourself, you have found true love. You are then open to share it with another person who feels the same way. “Doe Zantamata

“First bliss comes naturally. Second bliss is a choice. It’s the choice to trust, to love, to put yourself out there, knowing full well that you can get hurt. But you won’t be able to live, love, and experience all the joys of life if you don’t put yourself back out there again. It takes courage –a lot of courage– but it’s worth it. “Doe Zantamata

“If a friend stops speaking with you because they believed gossip about you without even asking you “your side,” then you didn’t really lose a friend. You only lost a person who didn’t trust or believe in you…and that’s not really a loss at all. It hurts because it feels unfair, and you would not have treated them the same way. But if that’s the choice they’ve made, you can really only accept it and let them go. Even if you convince them this time, the absence of trust will not have changed and will continue to hurt you in every future circumstance. “Doe Zantamata

“You are not a fool for trusting someone who lied to you. They are the fool for lying to someone who trusted them. It’s the easiest thing in the world to get away with temporarily, and the hardest thing to recover from permanently. Please don’t let it change you. There are already way too many of them and far too few of you. “Doe Zantamata
