Let yourself be nurtured and loved. Let people be there for you. Allow yourself to be held when it would feel good. Let someone listen to you, support and encourage you when you need that. Receive comfort from someone's physical presence when you need that. Allow yourself to be supported emotionally and cared about.
For too long, we've stood in the background, attending to the needs of others and claiming we have no needs of our own. We've shut off, for to long, the part of us that longs to be nurtured. It is time, now, to claim those needs, to identify them, and to understand that we deserve to have them met.
Melody Beattie

Look forward, not backward. Stay away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Trust your hopes, not your fears.
Alexander Lockhart

Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so.
