More quotes by Jewel

Jewel
Hard times make you bitter or make you more compassionate.
Jewel
I want love to be simple. I want to trust without thinking. I want to be generous with my affection and patience and love unconditionally. It is easier to love a person with their flaws than to weed through them. I want to love the whole person, not parts and this is how I want to be loved.

It's best to take a deep breath, bolster yourself, and walk through it.
Jewel
