"You are not free until you have no need to impress anyone."

― Joyce Meyer

I think you need to understand that just because there are prettier people, you are not ugly. And yes, there may be smarter people but you are not dumb. And the truth is somebody's going to love you just the way you are, no matter that there are prettier or smarter people. Because  for that one person you're going to be absolute perfection, and they're going to be absolute perfection, but before that happens don't be afraid to fall in love with yourself.

"The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain."

― Victoria Aveyard, Red Queen

If you can't believe in miracles, then believe in yourself. When you want something bad enough, let that drive push you to make it happen. Sometimes you'll run into brick walls that are put there to test you. Find a way around them and stay focused on your dream. The more you believe in yourself, the more you could trust yourself. The more you trust yourself, the less you compare yourself to others.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

"I used to think the worst feeling in the world was losing someone you love, but I was wrong. The worst feeling in the world is the moment that you realize you've lost yourself."

― The Vampire Diaries.

Find someone else?
No. Focus on finding yourself first.

"And that's the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too."

― Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

They are a very decent, generous lot of people out there and they don't expect you to listen. Always remember that. It's the secret of social ease; they talk entirely for their own pleasure. Not everyone has the same heart as you. Nothing they say is designed to be heard. People can match their top with their shoes, but not their words with their actions.

"In peace may you leave the shore. In love may you find the next. Safe passage on your travels until our final journey on the ground... May we meet again."
― The 100

It's challenging to let go of someone you care about. There is a particular kind of suffering to be experienced when you love something greater than yourself. A tender sacrifice. Like the bent and broken feet of a dancing ballerina. It is in every considered step you are taking in the opposite direction of them. when you say 'I'm going to forget you' you know it's impossible to forget someone you once knew. Sometimes the door closes on a relationship, not because we failed but because something bigger than us says this no longer fits our life. So, lock the door, shed a tear, turn around and look for the new door that's opened. It's a sign that you're no longer that person you were, it's time to change into who you are. It's going to be okay.
