When something or someone is no longer bringing you up, but pulling you down—it’s time to let go. When something or someone is no longer adding to your life, but subtracting from it—it’s time to let go.

The right one for you will move mountains to be with you—he won't hide behind them.

I should let people in. If they leave, they leave. If I break, I break. It happens to everyone.

—Sarah Addison Allen in Garden Spells

The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one.
