I have never really understood how I should feel or behave in a relationship. I didn't have the kind of childhood that would have given me any sort of perspective on what a happy home or relationship would feel like. You can't live your life blaming your failures on your parents. You're dealt the cards you're dealt. I realised it was a waste of time to be angry at my parents and feel sorry for myself. ~ Drew Barrymore

I'd rather be a failure at something I enjoy, than be a success at something I hate. ~ Unknown

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. ~ Unknown

I Am Me
In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically me because I alone chose it.
I own everything about me; my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions,whether they be to others or to myself.
I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears.
I own all my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with me in all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know.
But as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and for ways to find out more about me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me.
If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded.
I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.
I own me, and therefore I can engineer me. I am me and I am OK.

Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure. ~ George Edward Woodberry

Christians are quick to scoff at the absurdity of other religions when most fail to realize they worship a book that contains talking snakes, bushes, and donkeys. ~ Unknown

Destiny, chance, fate, or fortune -- they're all just ways of claiming your successes without claiming your failures. ~ Unknown
