“And somedays I miss everyone - who has ever left, all at once”

“I’m afraid to lose you even though you’re not mine.”

“Perhaps we were friends first and lovers second. But then perhaps this is what lovers are.”

“It’s so rare that you meet someone who makes you feel so warm and happy like they are like sunshine and you just want them around all time.”

“A gentle reminder that your heart is a muscle and so should be exercised regularly. Love often and love deeply.”

“The scariest thing about distance is you don’t know whether they’ll miss you or forget about you.”

“Maybe some people just aren’t meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. It’s like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn. And that’s why they’re here. You’ll have that gift forever.”

You have me, until every last star in the galaxy dies, you have me.

I will never be perfect for you, but I will always imperfectly try to be.

“It’s just this strange thing I do where I allow myself to briefly fall in love with another human being that I see on a train, or the sidewalk, or in a warm café.”

“You deserve to be with somebody who will drive three hours, just to see you for one.”

“Breathe. You’re going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you’ve survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They’re painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you’ll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.”

“If you want something done right, do it yourself.”
