"Sometimes, you don’t know what you’ve got
until it’s gone. And they leave, and you learn
to be more..."

“Sometimes, you don’t know what you’ve got

until it’s gone. And they leave, and you learn

to be more appreciative in the future — to be

less self centred. But what about all the times

that you do — when you know what you’ve

got, when you know how tremendously lucky

you are, when every day is a pleasure and

treasured for all that it is? I’ll tell you.

They leave, and that’s it — it’s neither your

fault or theirs, there’s no life lesson or greater

purpose. Sometimes, in life, good things just go.

And you never really get over them.”

"Relationships are difficult complicated affairs at the best of times. And often after a few..."

“Relationships are difficult complicated affairs at the best of times. And often after a few particularly awful ones we put our feet down, hole up, and promise ourselves that we will never again settle for anything less than perfect. So we bolt at the first sign of trouble, drop lovers by the dozen for mild annoyances, and heaven forbid we ever have an argument. But there’s good and bad in anything. And at the end of the day, all we have to decide is who we share that good and bad with.”

“The earth is smaller than it has ever been before.

The human population grows and grows yet

internet connections and airports connect us in ways

both simple and wonderful. However, on nights

like this, when the space beside me is empty and cold,

I wonder how it could still be so damn difficult to

find another soul to call home.”

“If you’re with her and wish you were

elsewhere then leave. One of the

cruelest things you can do is make a person

feel like home when to you they’re only

temporary.”

“It’s been a long, hard road but I’ve finally

found the closure I need to move on.

I’ve learned to accept that my all is not always

going to be enough and love is neither

owed nor earned it either is or it’s not.

I gave you the world. But you wanted the stars.”

“Nothing makes me miss you more than Sundays. The way we could pass an entire day doing little else but wake up, kiss a bit, fall gently back to sleep, wake, laugh, eat greasy foods, kiss some more, then sleep again - made it the single most productive and rewarding day of the week.”

“One day, whether you

are 14,

28 

or 65



you will stumble upon

someone who will start

a fire in you that cannot die.



However, the saddest,

most awful truth

you will ever come to find––


is they are not always

with whom we spend our lives.”

“You astonish me.” I said, all breathy and

nervous. “You could be standing in the centre

of a star and still be all I see.”
