To say my fate is not tied to your fate is like saying: “Your end of the boat is sinking.

If they are giving their 100%, you cannot ask more from them. That’s like asking someone to grow taller. We could sit here all day and wait, and they could try their hardest but it’s physically impossible.

Doing drugs will not make you amazing, drinking will not make you amazing, having sex under-age will not make you amazing, wearing shorts in the shape of thongs and having your boobs hang out… none of that makes you amazing. What makes you amazing is the times you say no to drugs, say no to drinking, and say no to having sex under-age. Self-control is what’s amazing, because the world doesn’t seem to have it anymore.

You’re right, you’re not perfect. Stop making such high expectations for yourself. You’re a teenager, you’re young. Just because you haven’t had your first kiss doesn’t mean you never will. Just because you haven’t had a boyfriend or a girlfriend doesn’t mean you never will. Just because you’re overweight doesn’t mean you’re not beautiful. Just because you’re the tallest or the shortest, doesn’t mean you’re not gorgeous. You’re simply you. Stop trying to be perfect, stop wishing you were perfect. You’re you, and someone out there is going to or already does love you for just that.

Well, love is insanity. The ancient Greeks knew that. It is the taking over of a rational and lucid mind by delusion and self-destruction. You lose yourself, you have no power over yourself, you can’t even think straight.
