Text Box: "I think I have finally come to understand why my life is like it is. All of the heartbreaks and disappointments are going to help me truly appreciate love, whenever it finds me." - Amanda Gattie "Did you ever notice that people give up on love as they get older? When you're a little girl, all you want to do is fall in love. Then when you're a teenager, every guy you meet you think is 'the one'. Then when you're an adult and you have been hurt from the breakups as a teen, you're not interested in love anymore. You just don't want to be alone, so you settle for someone you might even know isn't your soul mate. I know so many adults that aren't truly where they want to be. I just try to think about what they might have went through to make them settle for second best, and I hope that doesn't happen to me." "There's a difference between loving someone and being in love with them.. I'm not saying I don't love my old boyfriend anymore because that’s not true, I'll always love him, but I won't always be 'in' love with him." "I believe in Karma, what you give is what you get returned, I believe you can't appreciate real love until Text Box: you've been burned." - Savage Garden "I just wonder how many people never get the one they want, and end up with the one they're supposed to have." -Fried Green Tomatoes "'I’ve always had a problem separating the past from the present.'" - the heat seekers by zane “experience had taught me that even the most precious memories fade with the passage of time.” - The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks “I do what most women do. I meet someone and some of it’s right, maybe he looks right, or has the right job, or the right background, and, instead of sitting back and waiting for him to reveal his other bits, I make them up. I decide how he thinks, how he’s going to treat me, and, sure Text Box: enough, every time I conclude that this time he’s definitely my perfect man, and all of a sudden, well, not so suddenly perhaps, usually around six months after we’ve split up, I see that he wasn’t the person I thought he was at all." - Mr. Maybe by Jane Green “.... so that's what I've been doing all this time, bouncing... it's like crashing, except you get to do it over and over again.” - Bounce “A little bruised.. A little humbled… and hopefully a little smarter.” - little black book "The ability to get back up depends on the number of times you've been knocked down." "You do something, go someplace, see somebody, or hear something, and you start to think, 'Maybe I should call him, just to say hello and see how he's doing.' But I never did." - Breaking Up "Maybe there isn't a Mr. Right. Maybe there's a Mr. Good Enough." Text Box: Personal Love Quotes
