Hannah Brown Quotes

Every relationship you have, you're learning and growing and taking something from that.

A lot of men are very possessive and they want to control you. But as you grow older, you attract people who are on your wavelength and who understand who you are.

A lot of people are afraid to face themselves, especially when something goes wrong. But that's important, because if something happens within a relationship, it could be how you're allowing someone else to treat you.

The key is allowing your partner to be who they are and not having expectations that really have nothing to do with the person you married.

All relationships are a learning experience, even ones you continue to be in. If you don't see them as that, then that's a problem.

Anyone who has been through failed relationships - even people in successful relationships - understand that you gain perspective about what is important to you.

I think relationships are really hard. Each one gives you lessons that you need.

The thing is, relationships never work out... until they do. You learn a lot from relationships that don't work out.

I don't know if there is a 'lack' of good black men. But when you haven't taken the time to get to know yourself, be OK with you, and articulate what it is you want in a relationship, then you can't possibly find that person for you because you don't even know what you're looking for.

I think as humans we do want to control our relationships, and you can't. It's probably better that you can't. That wouldn't be a real relationship, and we'd never learn and grow.

When you love and accept yourself, when you know who really cares about you, and when you learn from your mistakes, then you stop caring about what people who don't know you think.
