"A woman who opens their heart to love you, when it's already broken, is braver than any person you'll meet." - Steven Benson.

Being brave is being courageous enough to act while your past failures tell you that you cant. We will all be broken at some point in life, some more than others, but the true test of a persons heart is not if they are willing to be defeated, but it lies instead in how many times we are willing to get up.

When your heart tells you that it has love to spread, let it flow. Use your brain, and dont make totally irrational decisions, but when the time is right seize it. Even if this time is much sooner than you expected.

There will be many opportunities to take life head on if we look for them, and choosing to love someone who we hope will love us in the same way, is one of them. This is a step in life that is difficult to be brave about in. Choosing to love someone should never be taken lightly. But at the end of the day, you cant help who your heart chooses to love. Use courage, and believe what your heart tells you.

Real love is knowing someone's weaknesses and not taking advantage of them. Knowing their flaws & accepting who they are.

Real love is about finding the person that will stick with you through the thick storms and the thin victories. Real love doesn't just take sacrifice, it is based on sacrifice. Real love is founded on the notion that sometimes you may have to give part of yourself to someone else in order for them to be able to make it through, with the understanding that this person will do the same thing for you in your toughest times.

Never allow yourself to remain in a relationship in which a person has proved over and over again that they aren't about this 'real love', because in short you are only wasting your time.

Find that person who is going to be there to pick you up when you fall, and not just there for you to help them when they do the same.

Don't pretend, find someone that you can trust, someone who is patient, and someone who seeks to understand.
