Mein Aik Parinda Tha Kabhi Mein Zinda Tha

“When your soul is longing for someone, it never goes away.”

“Take all the time you need to heal emotionally. Moving on doesn’t take a day. It takes a lot of little steps to be able to break free of your broken self.”

“I wanted the past to go away, I wanted / to leave it, like another country; I wanted / my life to close, and open / like a hinge, like a wing, like the part of the song / where it falls / down over the rocks: an explosion, a discovery;”

“i know now that this is how it works you don’t get to keep everyone in your life forever there are some people that are just meant to be a sunrise for you a light to pull you out of the darkness there are friends, lovers, relationships that are seasonal and no matter how deep of a conversation you had with that person at 2 am no matter how much you shared your heart even if you can still draw the lines of their smile like the map of a too familiar road in the back of your mind there almost always comes a time to move on a time to let go and regardless of the letting go i just wanted you to know you’re always going to feel a little bit like home to me no matter how temporary it is still beautiful that i got to call so many hearts my home”

They've told us that cooking is drudgery, but we know the truth. With every loaf of bread, every pot of soup, every roasted chicken, we're declaring our independence. As we reclaim these lost skills, we connect the earth to our plates. And that is when everything changes.

"I feel you, I love you, I need you, I crave you, I adore you, and I like you all rolled into one. You are my best friend, my lover.. you are where I go to smile, laugh, feel safe.. you are where I go when I feel alone and you are where I go when I need to feel at home. I love you, I do.. with all of my heart and every beat that it has, with every breath that I take.. I love you. There is no greater intimacy than the depth that I feel when you smile, so close to your soul as if we are one.. it's a beautiful thing, love. You are beautiful and I love you deeply.."

“Home is where people notice when you are not there.”

“I want to go home, I want to go home, but what I mean, what I'm grasping for, is not a place, it's a feeling.”

“How one person can turn your whole world upside down..”

“Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn’t stop for anybody.”

“It had been a perfect fit, but perfection can be an illusion.”

“I am a fool with a heart but no brains, and you are a fool with brains but no heart; and we’re both unhappy, and we both suffer.”

“Some days are tougher and all you can do is take a deep breath. But that’s okay, you are doing your best.”

“The poison leaves bit by bit, not all at once. Be patient. You are healing.”
