When our heart is filled with loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, its capacity becomes boundless, immeasurable. With such a vast heart, immense as the wide-open sea, suffering cannot overpower us, just as a small handful of salt cannot make a great river salty. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

I think if I’ve learned anything about friendship, it’s to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don’t walk away, don’t be distracted, don’t be too busy or tired, don’t take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff. ― Jon Katz

The sun, rising and setting in splendid colors, never grows tired
of its admirers―much like a lady, aglow with grace, never grows tired
of chivalrous acts or pretty flowers. ~Richelle E. Goodrich

Nothing, forget it = You better figure out what you did wrong.
Are you tired? = Please don’t go to sleep, I love talking to you.
I’m okay = Hold me tight, I need a shoulder to cry on.
I don’t care anymore = I still care, but i”m tired of arguing with you.
I’m cold = Get a blanket and cuddle with me.
Leave me alone = Please don’t go.
I love you = Tell me you do more.
~Unknown

It’s been said that there is one word that will free us from the weight and pain of life. And, that word is love, and I believe that. It doesn’t mean that it hasn’t been hard or that it won’t be. It just means that I found a stillness and bravery in myself with you. You make me brave and I will love you until the end of time. This I vow today. ~Haley James Scott

A best friend is the best pain killer

Life, while mostly enjoyable, does have its ups and downs. The sun shines on the evil and the good. Pain is an inevitable part of life. Never think that you’ve been singled out for pain. We all seem to understand that physical pain takes time to subside, and as the wound or illness that caused the pain heals, the pain will ease. What we have more trouble with is realizing that emotional pain also takes time to heal.
Endure it. Things that cannot be cured must be endured. It sounds obvious, but sometimes, thinking of emotional pain as if it were physical pain can be very helpful. Think of your broken heart just as if it were your arm that is broken instead. A broken arm takes time to heal, and it hurts like crazy just after it’s broken, even after it’s been set and casted. A few days later, it doesn’t hurt so much. But weeks or even months later, if you bump or jar it, that pain can come roaring back to life with a vengeance. You baby it a little, take care not to aggravate it, and eventually, it’s stronger where it was broken than it was before. You have no choice – you can’t cut off the arm. That won’t make it hurt any less. You just have to endure it while it heals.
