To me, love is ... EVERYTHING

“I began to draw an invisible boundary between myself and other people. No matter who I was dealing with. I maintained a set distance, carefully monitoring the person’s attitude so that they wouldn’t get any closer. I didn’t easily swallow what other people told me. My only passions were books and music.” - Haruki Murakami

Here’s the thing about people with good hearts. They give you excuses when you don’t explain yourself. They accept apologies you don’t give. They see the best in you when you don’t need them to. At your worst, they lift you up, even if it means putting their priorities aside. The word “busy” does not exist in their dictionary. They make time, even when you don’t. And you wonder why they’re the most sensitive people. You wonder why they’re the most caring people. You wonder why they are willing to give so much of themselves with no expectation in return. You wonder why their existence is not so essential to your well-being. It’s because they don’t make you work hard for the attention they give you. They accept the love they think they’ve earned, and you accept the love you think you’re entitled to. Let me tell you something. Fear the day when a good heart gives up on you. Our skies don’t become gray out of nowhere. Our sunshine does not allow the darkness to take over for no reason. A heart does not turn cold unless it’s been treated with coldness for a while.

“Sometimes people have nothing to say because they’re too empty. And sometimes people have nothing to say because they’re too full.” - Yasmin Mogahed (via quotemadness)

I swear that when our lips touch, I can taste the next 60 years of my life.

The Universe is saying: Allow me to flow through you unrestricted, and you will see the greatest magic you have ever seen.

“In loneliness, the lonely one eats himself; in a crowd, the many eat him. Now choose.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
