If you are trading silence or compliance for love, you are being cheated. When acceptance or love is withheld if you reveal secrets, the value of the relationship is just an illusion. Love cannot be earned, bought or traded—only freely given. You are worthy of love that doesn’t require you to protect your abuser or sacrifice yourself. Christina Enevoldsen

Marilyn Monroe
You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth.

William W. Purkey
You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.
