10 Quotes About Acceptance
Life will throw you curve balls and how you deal with them is the real test. Sometimes things do not work out as we hoped they would or as we expected, but the ability to accept things outside our control is key to our mental and emotional well-being.
Acceptance is the action of consenting to receive or undertake something offered. Though challenging, accepting what is can be freeing. Once we accept something or someone for what it is or who they are, we can move on and be at peace.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close - Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets
Not everyone is a romantic, or goes in for the mushy stuff, but you cannot tell me that if you heard these words coming from the mouth of someone you were romantically interested in, that you wouldn't be incredibly moved. Perhaps even swept off your feet.
I think many of us crave that story book romance on some level. We do not necessarily want some man taking care of us, but I think that even the most independent, realistic version of ourselves will appreciate the whispering of sweet nothings in our ear.
