“What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?”

“I’m here waiting for you, waiting you to come back. I still love you more than anything else.”

“Yes, I was infatuated with you: I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn’t stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren’t having any of those.”

“Go and love someone exactly as they are. Then, watch how they transform into the greatest truest version of themselves. When one feels seen and appreciated in their own essence, one is instantly empowered.”

“I love you.”

“How nice — to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive.”
