Listen, don't just wait for your turn to talk

لا أبحث عن نصفي الأخر لأنني لستُ نصفًا. -I’m not searching for my other half because I’m not a half.

And if I have to spend the rest of my life trying to wipe away the sad look on your face, and smother it with sunshine, that is one hell of a good life if you ask me.

There are two people you’ll meet in your life. One will run a finger down the index of who you are and jump straight to the parts of you that pique their interest. The other will take his or her time reading through every one of your chapters and maybe fold corners of you that inspired them most. You will meet these two people; it is a given. It is the third that you’ll never see coming. That one person who not only finishes your sentences, but keeps the book.

The things I find most beautiful about a person are almost never physical.

I have always loved too much, or not enough.

But why, why, why can’t people just say what they mean?

‘Why do you leave everyone? Why did you let me go?’‘Maybe because I don’t really believe that it’s going to work and then I make sure that it doesn’t work.’

I think that it’s important to remember that intelligence and confidence are two of the most beautiful attributes a person can have. But its very important to also remember that compassion, generosity, and humility are their counterparts, and without them intelligence and confidence simply become arrogance.

I’m not used to being loved. I wouldn’t know what to do.

I want to be with you, it is as simple, and as complicated as that.

I hate that moment when you hear something that kills you inside, but you have to act like you’re fine.
