" I don't fear loneliness. I had and knew love, even if it ended in disaster, I can always remember the few good times there were and embrace those. I would rather not be lonely forever, but it doesn't scare me at this point.

Falling in love doesn't scare me either, its trusting someone that frightens the shit out of me. Trust is blind faith, nothing more, but unfortunately, my heart (the broken pieces that I was able to scoop up anyway) is now under lock and key. It'll be a long road back before I trust myself to open it back up to anyone. "

" I don't fear loving, but I'm learning I need the solitude of a quiet time to better know myself. The dark seasons of our lives help us to appreciate the new growth when it happens. "

" Find yourself first. You can only be happy in "Love" if you are happy "Alone".

I want "Love", but I am taking time to be "Alone". "

" I choose love... I still believe in it and I know it exists.

I have loved and lost and I've been alone for the last 3 years and while I'm lonely... I don't mind being alone. "
