Scarlett Letters

“When you realize that you’re not as happy as you want to be, you wish to change things. That’s where I am right now, trying to figure out how to modify myself in order to make this world easier to live in. How much of a heart can I have? How can I make the word no taste as sweet as the word yes? What can I do to keep a smile on my face? A part of me always seemed to feel selfish whenever I weighed my wants and needs against someone else’s - like the thought of pleasing myself shouldn’t even exist. But after a while, you realize you matter too.”

“Darling, you don’t know who you’re dealing with. You don’t want to love someone like me. Something wilder than the ocean, something so transparent like a ghost. And this is for no reason other than this: one day, I’ll be gone. For good. And forever.”

“Travel for the experience, for the chance to see beyond the world as you know it. Travel for the chance to lose yourself, to find yourself, to learn lessons found only at the end of busy days and long flights. Most of all, travel to create a story worth telling.”

“I want to do things so wild with you that I don’t know how to say them.”
