“Be forgiving. Be understanding. But don’t be a fool.”

“Distance isn’t easy but it isn’t impossible either.”

“The most misleading idea about love is that it’s always happy. Sometimes, I love you when you’re on the other side of the city, trying to find the place we first met to remind you there’s a home you can come back to. Sometimes, after our fights, love is not only in how we mend each other, but in the honesty that is unbottled in the heat of the moment, the anger that we’re so afraid of showing each other, the learning of the halves we keep in the dark. Love is not always beautiful or easy or clean. It is us here, making it work, turning what we could give away into something worth keeping.”
