Quotes to ponder:

"Everyone should have a bottom line regarding what they want from a partner in a relationship."

"It's important to note that a healthily attached person can become anxiously attached if they spend too long with an avoidant partner."

"Be realistic. Is the person in front of you who you really want? Or are you waiting for them to conform to your fantasy of who they could be?"
