Some people
         aren't  loyal  to  you...
                  They are
          loyal  to  their  need
               of you... once
         their  needs  change,
                   so does
               their  loyalty.

                  A dream
       doesn't become reality
             through magic,
                   it takes
                    sweat,
              determination
                     and
                hard work.

                   You can't
            change  a  person
               who doesn't
                    see an
             issue  in  their
                  actions.

                  Be loyal
           to  your  future,
                     not
               your past.

            It's  time  to  be
             happy again.

No one
  changes unless they
            want to.

Not  if  you  beg  them.
     Not if you shame
               them.
   Not if you use reason,
          emotion, or
      use  tough  love.
There's only one thing
            that makes
      someone  change :
  their  own  realization
         that they need
               to do it.

      And there's only
              one time
         it  will  happen :
  when they decide they're
                ready.

             A  strong
      relationship starts
               with two
        people who are
               ready to
        sacrifice anything
                   for
             each other.                                                          Jon York  2019

Apparently
              when  you  treat
                  people like
               they  treat  you,
                        they
                   get  upset.

           People will provoke
                   you  until
                         they
                   bring  out
                your ugly side.
                   Then  play
                       victim
                 when you go
                        there.

                   You need you,
                          more
                      than  you
                         need
                   them. Trust me.

                          Don't
                    blame people
                           for
               disappointing you.
                           Blame
            yourself for expecting
                        too much
                       from  them.

It just occurred
                           to me
                     that many
                 people are afraid
                          to heal
                    because their
                           entire
              identity is centered
                         around
                  the  trauma  they
                    experienced.

                      They  have
                          no  idea
                             who
                  they are outside
                              of
                             that
                      trauma and
                              that
                         unknown
                            can be
                         terrifying.

                            If you
                        can't  bare
                              fear,
                        do it scared.

The
first person you
         think of
           in the
          morning,
               or
         last person
             you
        think of at
            night,
        is either the
            cause
          of  your
        happiness
                or
        your pain.

              Life
        is too short
              to be
      with someone
            who's
         not crazy
            about
              you.

         Listen, I'm
                a
         nice person.

             So if I'm
      an ******* to you,
          you need to
      ask yourself why.

I want to kiss
           you  so  thoroughly
     that you loose your ability
                    to stand.

           I will slip my hand
   into  your  soul unzip  you and
          touch your inner core,
                      rub your
                  imagination.
                     I wanna
                     feel you...
                     taste you...
                     touch you...

             Sometimes  home
                 isn't 4 walls.
               It's  2  eyes  and
                   a heartbeat.

  Your arms wrapped around me,
         your head on my chest,
              my warm breath
        caressing your forehead,
                    your breath
              warming my chest.

                  For both of us,
           this is home no matter
                         where
                     we may be.
