They called me a dreamer like it was a bad thing, until my dreams started to come true.

“It’s simple. Don’t start something you know you can’t finish and don’t make promises you can’t keep. Be consistent, mean what you say, and let your actions speak for you. All else will fall into place.”

“it’s okay to be a forgiving person. just remember the difference between saying, “it’s okay,” and “i forgive you.” because one means it’s okay to hurt me again, while the other means it’s not okay, but i’m okay.”

“La mia casa è qui: nel tuo abbraccio. Che sollievo, che pace. Niente più traslochi, niente più valigie e spazzolini e armadi: tutto quello di cui ho bisogno è qui, tra le tue braccia. Il mio domicilio è - semplicemente - nell’angolo del tuo corpo dove posso ascoltare il battito del tuo cuore.”

“When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.”

“I loved him very much - more than I could trust myself to say - more than words had power to express.”

“Someone can be madly in love with you and still not be ready. They can love you in a way you have never been loved and still not join you on the bridge. And whatever their reasons you must leave. Because you never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge. You never ever have to convince someone to do the work to be ready. There is more extraordinary love, more love that you have never seen, out here in this wide and wild universe. And there is the love that will be ready.”

“You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I have ever known- and even that is an understatement.”

“In my dreams I am kissing your mouth and you’re whispering ‘where have you been?’ I say, ‘I’ve been lost but I’m here now. You’re the only person who has ever been able to find me.’”

“You made flowers grow inside of me in places I didn’t know we’re still alive. You made me smile a bit more and laugh a lot louder. My little kryptonite. I called you names I never told a single soul. I never knew I would find love so kind and patient. You were both and even more. You kept me grounded in my worst days and gave me hope for a better beginning. My dearest sunshine, I shall love you eternally and agelessly until all the air in my lungs deflates. So, do not give up just yet; we’re in”

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
