“Veel woorden, weinig zin.”

“I feel myself shutting down, closing off, like I should tell people: “No, we don’t use this heart anymore. It’s too fragile.””

feelings don’t scare me. i will give you all i have. i will love you wholeheartedly. i will make sure that you know, that you hold a very special place in my heart & in my life. why? because life is too short to love half heartedly and we are too broken to bare such pain. so if i love you, i will love you whole and i’ll let you know. even if that means that in the end, my heart is left broken.

“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.”
