Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back!  Do not expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart.  But if it doesn't be content it grew in yours.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,  an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it t akes a lifetime to forget someone.
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost
You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

I may not reach them but I can look up, see their beauty, and try to follow where they lead.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.
Marcus Aurelius Antonius
Nobody knows the age of the human race but everybody agrees that it is old enough to know better.
The simplest questions are the most profound.  Where were you born?  Where is your home?  Where are you going? What are you doing? 
Think about these once in awhile, and watch your answers change.
When you follow your bliss ... doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors; and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else.     Joseph Campbell

But the self is not something one finds; it is something one creates.

What is meant to be will always find a way
