It’s about letting go of fear and allowing yourself to be who you truly are, instead of using someone else as an excuse to hold on to the pain of your past or protect yourself from future hurt.

Worth Waiting Quotes

Patience is not simply the ability to wait – it’s how we behave while we’re waiting. Joyce Meyer.

There’s no such thing as someone else’s life, only your life.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

It’s not the time we have, but what we do with it that matters.

Quietness is the friend of patience, for when you are patient, there’s no room left for impatience to enter your heart or mind and destroy whatever good you might be working on. ~~~Love Quotes~~~

I’m pretty sure the back of this case says, “Let’s love forever.”
