No matter how strongly you feel about someone there is no promise they will ever feel the same way about you, and sometimes you just have to let those feelings go no matter how much happiness the idea of that person feeling the same way gives you.
“Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling but start. Start and don’t stop. Start where you are, with what you have. Just… start.”
“The first mistake I made was loving you more than I loved myself, I put your needs and feelings before mine, and in the end I was left alone and empty.”
