"Unhealthy work, unhealthy life breeds unhealthy appetites and desires. You cannot make a man work like a horse, make him live and feed like a pig, and in the same impulse, ask him to have healthy aspirations and ideal views. " Jack London

"Stop giving your love to those who aren't ready to love you. Let go of your life people who are not ready to love you. Truth is, you are not for everyone.. And that everyone isn't for You... That's what makes this world so special, when you find the few people you have a genuine friendship, love or relationship with... You will know how precious this is... Because you've experienced what wasn't... But the more time you spend trying to get loved by someone who isn't capable... The more time you waste depriving yourself of that same connection... This is not love. It's about attachment. It's trying to give a chance to those who don't want one! The most valuable and important thing you have in your life is your energy. It's not just your time since it's limited... This is your energy! What you give every day is what will create more and more in your life. When you realize this, you start to understand why you get so impatient when you spend your time with people who don't suit you, and activities, places, situations that don't suit your self. You will start to realize that the most important thing you can do for your life, for yourself and for everyone you know is to protect your energy more fiercely than anything else. Make your life a safe haven, in which only people "compatible" with you are allowed. Decide that you deserve real friendship, genuine commitment and complete love with people who are healthy and prosperous. And then wait for it... just for a moment... And watch how everything starts to change... " Anthony Hopkins

It took me a long time to realize that not everything in life is meant to be a beautiful story. Not every person we feel something deep and moving with is meant to make a home within us, is meant to be a forever. Sometimes, people come into our lives to teach us how to love and sometimes people come into our lives to teach us how not to love . How not to settle, how not to shrink ourselves ever again. Yes, sometimes people leave .. but that's okay , because their lessons always stay, and that is what matters. That is what remains .. Bianca Sparacino
