If you go through life expecting other people to feel the feelings you feel like they should be feeling, you're going to make things very hard on yourself.

10 Things That Never Happened
Relationships never provide you with everything. They provide you with some things. [...] The rest you have to look for elsewhere. It's only in the movies that you find someone who gives you all of those things. But this isn't the movies. In the real world, you have to identify which three qualities you want to spend the rest of your life with, and then you look for those qualities in another person. That's real life. [...] If you keep trying to find everything, you'll wind up with nothing.
- Hanya Yanagihara

No matter how terrible an individual may behave, always treat them with a basic level of respect and dignity. Not only would it increase your chance of getting your message across, but it would also make them more likely to react more favorably.

Compassion is an action, not just a feeling. Small gestures of kindness and understanding can have profound impacts. Empathy strengthens communities and fosters trust among individuals.
Sometimes, people are not alone because they like to be alone. They are alone because no one likes to be with them.

I wish you'd told me what you knew about my mother,' I said. 'How come you didn't?' 'Oh Lily,' she said, and there was a gentleness in her words, like they'd been rocked in a little hammock of tenderness down her throat. 'Why would I go and hurt you with something like that?

In personal relationships, water may often be the one who exits due to a feeling of being injured or emotionally rejected; in such situations he or she will usually have found someone else who is more "responsive", only to discover wit horror that the new lover has a different face but is in fact the same person as the old.

I had recently begun to wear my hair in an Afro again. It was a symbol that screamed, I LOVE ME! I see my curly hair as antennas to God. We always fussing with it, but Black hair is powerful. Black hair is the only thing on the planet that defies gravity.

Your journey may look messy now, but even a masterpiece starts with splattered paint.
You could only have a relationship of any kind, be it family or friends or lovers, if both people were willing to reach toward each other. It wasn't, as some said, hard work in the sense of being unpleasant or tedious or painful--- that was a myth perpetuated by people with a vested interest in telling you to stay in a terrible relationship--- but it did require effort. You had to try.

Managing Pressure: Protecting Relationships and Staying Balanced

Pressure is something we all face, whether in our personal lives or at work. It builds up slowly, and if not addressed, it eventually spills over. Sadly, it’s often the people closest to us who bear the brunt of our stress and frustration.

How we deal with pressure matters just as much as the pressure itself. Instead of letting it build to a breaking point, it’s important to find healthy ways to release it — whether that’s through honest conversations, practicing self-care, or seeking support.

By managing pressure in a constructive way, we not only protect our relationships but also approach challenges with a clearer mind and greater resilience.
