Keep calm and dream

“When we find someone who is brave, fun, intelligent, and loving, we have to thank the universe.”

“I often don’t say things out loud, even when I should. I contain and compartmentalize to a disturbing degree: In my belly-basement are hundreds of bottles of rage, despair, fear, but you’d never guess from looking at me.”

“I plant roots so deeply in the people I love that I always lose a piece of myself when they go.”

“Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You’re doing just fine.”

“It’s all messy: the hair, the bed, the words, the heart. Life.”

“She didn’t need to be saved. She needed to be found and appreciated for exactly who she was.”

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

“I think I might always be in some kind of love with you.”

“When I ask you about your first love I am always secretly hoping that you will say your own name. Now, wouldn’t that be beautiful – to above else have a heart that was proud of itself.”

“If someone truly loves you, distance would never be a problem.”
