Don’t lose a woman that has seen your flaws and still loves you.

I literally tear up every time my kids talk about doing a lockdown drill at school. It’s a normal, everyday thing, like the tornado drills we did when we were kids.

Maybe the way we feel isn’t supposed to be logical, to be rational. Maybe it’s okay to be unsure and scared. Maybe we lose so we learn to let go. And maybe we leave in order to grow, to blossom in to who we’re meant to be. Maybe some things aren’t supposed to make sense. Maybe you have to take risks to get what you deserve. Maybe we shouldn’t underestimate our potential. Maybe we shouldn’t set limitations or boundaries. Maybe life is divine chaos. Maybe it’s okay to love ourselves. Maybe we don’t need everything we want. Maybe we shouldn’t fear the unknown, but embrace it. Learn from it. maybe someone can exceed your expectations. maybe we can control our destinies after all. maybe we have to fight for what we believe in. maybe, just maybe, we should stop second guessing ourselves and just jump in.

I used to worry about where I stand in people’s lives but maturity made me realize that it doesn’t matter that much. If you need me, I am there for you. If I need you, then I hope you’re there for me too. It took a long time for me to learn that people will always need each other, no matter what. So I want to be that person who is always there.

I always have a feeling that you’ll come back and that’s what keeps me from moving on.

Heat hadn’t thought getting married would change anything fundamental about their union. She thought they would throw a big party, take a nice trip, and things would continue more or less as they always had. But Captain Nikki Heat, whose instincts as a detective were seldom wrong, had turned out to be mistaken in that assumption about her personal life. Getting married had lowered the last barriers between them, allowing for an intimacy like she had never experienced before. Heat had thought she was in love with Rook before their wedding. She recognized that it was just a prolonged crush compared to what she felt now.

Her heart sank into her shoes as she realized at last how much she wanted him. No matter what his past was, no matter what he had done. Which was not to say that she would ever let him know, but only that he moved her chemically more than anyone she had ever met, that all other men seemed pale beside him.

Things will weigh you down, but only if you let them. But I get it, it is hard to pretend that a boulder is a feather. It is hard to pretend that something difficult is easy. So I’ll just pretend that I’m strong, until I am.

She controls her life and all the people who are in it She’d get rid of those who hurt her constantly but she’s far too hurt by those who left voluntarily Because they are who she wants the most

She was what I run from and what I run towards; the danger that I couldn’t resist and the serenity that flowed within me.

Addiction is tricky. For example: A man who quit smoking for 11 years stood in an elevator with another man smoking a cigarette. He gave in. What I’m trying to say is I think I love you again.
