I love you. And not, like, in a friendly way, although I think we're great friends. And not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although I'm sure that's what you'll call it. I love you. Very, very simple, very truly. You are the epitome of everything I have ever looked for in another human being.
Sometimes it's worth making a fool of yourself for the person you love.
I don't know how you're so amazing at everything you do, but I'm glad you are.
You're not alone, you know. You have me.
You've got to be willing to put yourself out there if you want to find love.
Life is about taking risks and putting yourself out there. Otherwise, you'll never know what you're capable of.
Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's good. Don't be afraid to go against the crowd.
The best relationships are built on friendship and trust.
Don't be afraid to chase your dreams. You never know where they might lead you.
Sometimes the person you least expect can change your life in the most profound way.
The people who truly care about you will always be there for you, no matter what.
You don't have to fit into society's expectations. Embrace your quirks and be yourself.
