“it’s far too selfish to wish for things to stay the same. it’s far too selfish to want things to never change. nothing stands still. love revolves around separate suns and becomes yet another dying star.”

“There was nothing to talk about anymore. The only thing to do was go.”

Nostalgia is also a dangerous form of comparison. Think about how often we compare our lives to a memory that nostalgia has so completely edited that it never really existed.

“And it’s at that moment, you realize things only happen once. And no matter how hard you try, you’ll never feel the same again. You’ll never again feel you’re three meters above the sky.”

“When you come back, you will not be you. And I may not be I.”

“As long as you are worried about what others think of you, you are owned by them.”

“Memories and thoughts age, just as people do. But certain thoughts can never age, and certain memories can never fade.”

“Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant.”
