some phrases that touched me while reading the book.. :
- i used to think that a fairytale relationship would fill the emptiness that i feel inside of me.
- i thought if only a guy would accept and approve of me. somehow my life would seem less vacant.
- i was certain that dates and kisses would make me feel worthwile, valuable and whole.
- today, rather than seeking satisfaction in a relationship that could fade, i'm learning how to fill my life with things that can bring true contentment. -- things that will last forever. instead of defining myself by the number of boyfriends, dates, of kisses that i had (or, haven't had), i'm finding that my true identity comes from being a daughter of GOD.
- at an early age i had began dreaming that an amazing guy would came along for me someday. if only that would happen, i thought everything would turn out right! my sky would be forever blue. the negative feelings inside me would fade away and i wouldn't lonely anymore. with his hand with mine, i would feel beautiful. and, surely, if he would just kiss me life would be glorious.
- ...so day after day, i dreamed about the time when my prince will finally find me. i pictured my future in the arms of my ideal guy, and i really liked the things i saw in the fantasy world. so, i allowed myself to dream much, to dream often. what i didn't realize was i was dreaming with a wrong perspective...
**aw.. ganda talaga ng book! i learned many things! :D**
