“If someone does not treat you with love and respect, it is a gift if they walk away from you. If that person doesn’t leave, you will certainly endure many years of suffering with him or her. Leaving may hurt for a while, but your heart will eventually heal. Then you can choose what you really want. You will find that you don’t need to trust others as much as you need to trust yourself to make the right choices.” — Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements
