People hold on to arbitrary certainties and try to enforce them on others, often violently, in the name of some made-up righteous cause. - Mark Manson

YOUR values determine your behavior, not what you think she wants, not what you think others want, but what is best for you and best for the relationship.

Get out there and expose yourself. Open yourself up and find what makes you happy. Yes, that will mean you’ll probably get hurt. But so what? The best things in life don’t come easily.

Certainty is the enemy of growth. Nothing is for certain until it has already happened — and even then, it’s still debatable. That’s why accepting the inevitable imperfections of our values is necessary for any growth to take place.
