Quotes by MéLisa Ryun (?)

“Love isn’t about control,” Rose continues. “It’s about trust. About letting someone see all your messy parts and they love you anyway.”
― MéLisa Ryun, Italy Can Bite Me

“The real love story isn’t in the grand gestures or perfect moments,” she says. “It’s showing up. Every single day. It’s the coffee they bring you when you’re exhausted. The way they hold your hand in the doctor’s waiting room without being asked. The quiet assurance of ‘I’m here and I’m not going anywhere’ when life feels like it’s falling apart.”
