A relationship must exist before you can lose it—if it never did, you’ve only lost the illusion of it.
Far more people remain in relationships that are damaging, not because they want to, but because they’ve lost sight of themselves.
A journey begins with one step.
Being in a relationship built on compatibility does not require either of you to change things about yourself.
Women, not just men, are capable of horrific things—their methods are different, and are equally damaging.
A handful of trusted family and friends is far more valuable than an army of acquaintances.
Have some great life lessons you’ve learned this year? I’d love to hear them. And to those who are celebrating, have a safe and happy holiday week-end!
it's (almost always) about the water... 
So true. And it’s never too late to start learning. I am working on patience.
Thank you for sharing your lessons learned; they are ever-insightful and prompt reflection.
Unsurprisingly, you have matched them to an image that gently speaks of an inner state of deep reflection.
