1. Your absence taught me how to live without you. Living this way, I learned in time that there is infinite peace in being able to live alone. And now you return, offering peace!
2. We can only hurt those who love us. Then we ask for forgiveness or receive it without asking. What a terrible habit! Meanwhile, with those who don't love us, we calculate carefully as we navigate. This means we could choose to interact without causing pain, if we wanted. Yet with certain people we don't, assuming that saying sorry fixes everything. Forgiveness is a noble quality, but when someone forgives you at their own expense, they almost always mistake it for a right. People truly suffer only from their own faults.
3. Weeping over the past, only fools destroy their future.
4. One who promises to open their heart but only undresses is at best a libertine, never a lover. What greater self-deception exists than to indulge in debauchery and then weep for love!
5. Don't keep the door of your heart open for one who has carelessly lost the key.
6. Why do I keep trying to understand someone who never had time to understand me, only to misunderstand myself again and again?
7. I set out in search of love. Found nothing but noise. Then I set out in search of my own heart. Now I see love won't leave me alone!
8. Gathering the broken pieces of her heart one by one, the girl wondered, how did I live so long believing such a enormous lie to be true!
9. I am in terrible pain. I don't know what more to say if I want to properly articulate and explain this anguish. So I remain silent. It's not that I enjoy the silence. What more can one do when there's no one left to understand?
10. Never tell girls to think like boys. Instead, teach them to hold onto that courage which, if they learn to preserve, will let them live with dignity. A woman without sufficient intelligence finds her beauty becomes a burden in time. So whisper in their ears that mantra which, if carried in the heart, ensures they will never again give refuge or indulgence to any person or moment whose company weakens them.
