Quotes by Daryl Qilin Yam (?)

“You will see that you have been drifting your whole life, only to find yourself caught in the orbit of something immense and wonderful, and the gravity of it makes sense, feels solid, is right.”
― Daryl Qilin Yam, Shantih Shantih Shantih

“But I do think love,” I quickly say, “love, how do I talk about it. Love has no shape. Or rather, it is shapeless until it is not. It has no form until it takes a form... Loving,” I tell my lover, “it should always be like you’ve never loved before.”
― Daryl Qilin Yam, Be Your Own Bae

― Daryl Qilin Yam, Lovelier, Lonelier
