Memorable Quotes

"Relationships do have seasons. Some are meant to last a lifetime, and others are meant to teach us crucial lessons and then release us into the next phase of our journey."

"Even when a relationship ends, we should celebrate the fact that something has been exchanged which has been of value to both people."

"Your growth is not selfish. Your evolution is not a betrayal. Sometimes the most loving thing we can do for both ourselves and for others is to acknowledge when a relationship has completed its cycle."
