This was an e-mail forward I received from a family member. It was a chain letter and at the bottom it said something about having good luck for two years if you send it on to 8 friends but if it wasn't forwarded within 5 minutes, the good luck would run out.
With that said, and the fact that this is not my work out there for all to see so I don't get flagged by the Gather police, I enjoyed reading these quotes and the e-mail put a smile on my face. My boyfriend and I had broken up the day before I received the e-mail and I had been miserable all day. Of course, I am still miserable as it was a tough break up (neither of us truely wanted it to end) but the quotes in the e-mail made me cry even harder, although also made me think hard about what the future holds (or doesn't).
I am posting these here on Gather in hopes that somebody else enjoys them as much as I did.

1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I'm with you.
2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is won't make you cry.
3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.
6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
8. Don't waste your time on a man or woman who isn't willing to waste his or her time on you.
9. Maybe G-d wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the right person we will know how to be grateful.
10. Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.
12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.
13. Don't try so hard - the best things come when you least expect them to.
REMEMBER: Whatever happens, happens for a reason!

REMEMBER: Whatever happens, happens for a reason!
Those are the ones that really mean a lot to me. I'm sorry to hear about the pain you're in right now but it is true when they say "this too will pass" even though now I know it doesn't feel like it. The right man for you will come along and it will most likely happen when you least expect it! Hang in there!
Do something really silly this weekend. I mean it!
Those sayings were great & I hope you are having some relief this weekend. Some smiles through the tears, because there is so much ahead of you. I think you are a terrific gal.
