- RIchard Lattimore; Homer
The Odyssey
Love soft, but hard enough to tear me apart.
- Dominic Riccitello
What I wanted to say then was that your anger scares me. And that my instinctive response-- to shrink back and pacify you -- only makes you feel smaller and therefore more vulnerable. So I make myself bigger; I meet you where you are even though I don't want to, just so I can feel less afraid.

The Therapist's Handbook for Modern Dating: From First Move to First Date
Your attachment style isn’t a life sentence; it’s a map to understanding how you connect and how you can grow.

The Therapist's Handbook for Modern Dating: From First Move to First Date
See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world, rather than according to Christ. Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Walk in the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Don't let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. Hold fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together, grows with a growth that is from God. Be careful that you are not led astray by the philosophies of men.
- Shaila Touchton
​​Missing someone isn’t always about emptiness or absence, but about their presence… It’s how their laughter still lingers, their wisdom still protects us, and their love still whispers in the quiet moments of our souls. Missing someone reveals the silent spaces they leave behind and ignites an ache from a bond that is forever in our hearts.

The pain of missing someone is like carrying a beautiful shadow of love… Always there, just out of reach.
 It’s proof that some people leave fingerprints on our souls that time and distance can’t erase.

His smile almost took her out. Daphne tried to remember how humans breathed air -- inhale, exhale.

It’s important to be sincere and empathetic in your approach, acknowledging her feelings while reminding her of her strength and resilience. Let her know that you believe in her, that you’re proud of how she’s handling the situation, and that you’re there for her every step of the way.

365 Ways a Year to Cater to Her: Because She Deserves Your Best-Not Occasionally, but Always
You’re not too much — they were just not equipped for your God-sized assignment.
If I get out of bed today, it will be an accomplishment.

If they never call, I don’t crumble—I recalibrate. My worth isn’t dependent on their voice, but confirmed by heaven’s whisper.
In reality I was nothing more than a pair of lips, you only cared about me when you were gripping on my hips

Between Crumbs and Tears
I missed a collection of moments, of movements, of body parts and gestures, of things she did and said. I had no idea if the sum of that was that I missed her as a whole, missed her as a person, but I craved the parts that made her who she was.
- Gabino Iglesias
The Devil Takes You Home
Greta arguing with him and, by extension, with Nancy, would at least feel like a return to the normalcy of a month ago, a time when things like family dinners did not result in someone absconding with a French nationalist, but rather followed a predictable pattern for which Nick became nostalgic: cocktails and ruthless criticism, followed by a nice Pinot Blanc and someone in tears.
Intimacy is much more personal than sex... It’s a matter of trust. It means you're willing to let someone really know you inside and out.
- Renée Rosen

- DERYA KAYA
the women in the green skirt
For the most part, we make an effort to treat each other as though we were equal, and that often involves tactfully ignoring the ways in which we are not. Much of what gets called "social skill" involves inducing the feeling of equality in the face of all the facts that challenge this feeling.

I loved you unconditionally — for you, not for anything else.
I loved you without ever seeing you, without even hearing your voice.
I loved you despite everything, and never grew tired.
I loved you with complete honesty, as if you were my first… and last love.

And yet, all of that was not enough.

You were the punishment I deserved… as if love itself were my sin.
- Khaled Ibrahim
You don’t get over it. You move past it. You move through it. You lose yourself to find it, and when found, it’s yours and no longer theirs.
- Dominic Riccitello
You say appreciation-before-criticism isn’t your style — yet you do it with clients all the time. Maybe it’s more your style than you realize. So let your loved one benefit from the same grace.
