For deep divers, deep thinkers and low-key poets

“When I first met you, that’s what I remember. I looked up at the sky and thought, I’m going to love this person because even the sky looks different.”

“It has made me better, loving you.”

“Things end. People leave. And you know what? Life goes on. Besides, if bad things didn’t happen, how would you be able to feel the good ones?”

“Worrying is stupid, it’s like walking around with an umbrella waiting for it to rain.”

“I like how sleeping next to someone means more than sex sometimes, the body’s way of saying ‘I trust you to be by my side at my most vulnerable time,’ you have no defenses when you are asleep, you tell no lies”

“Why are old lovers able to become friends? Two reasons. They never truly loved each other, or they love each other still.”

“You cannot make everyone think and feel as deeply as you do. This is your tragedy, because you understand them but they do not understand you.”

“All my life, my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name.”

“We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversations with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.”

“Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made, or by dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.”

“Don’t stop trying because you’ve hit a wall. Progress is progress, no matter how small.”

“If you are not willing to risk the usual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.”
