“It’s interesting to note that the most kind and courageous souls you meet in life tend to be those who’ve faced the most cruelty or conflict. This vicious world might sharpen us like a blade, but whether we use that power to protect others or cause pain, is always our choice to make.”

“I don’t know what it is,

but you do things to me,



lovely dark things.



Even



the gentle, unexpected

graze of your hand on mine is

annihilating.”

“She was the tide, always drifting in and out of the lives of those who loved her. Eternally indecisive, unable to discern whether she desired the solidity and safety of land, or the wild freedom of the ocean.”

“It is important to remember that true love would never ask you to sacrifice your self-respect. That a partner who belittles you is not interested in your heart or soul, only your surrender and obedience.”

“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 have shown me a boundless love.

A love that roams barefoot

through the wilds. A love that strips

off its clothes before plunging into the ocean.

A love that would scale mountains

just to howl to the heavens

and see all the world

shrink and tremble before it.

A love that dreams through the day 

and comes alive through the night.

A love that knows no limits

and never backs down from a fight.

A love that burns and bleeds

and laughs and cries,

and shines with all the majesty of the stars.”

“You have shown me a boundless love.

A love that roams barefoot

through the wilds,

strips off its clothes and dives into the ocean.

A love that would scale mountains

just to howl to the heavens

and see all the world

shrink and tremble before it.

A love that dreams through the day 

and comes alive through the night.

A love that knows no limits

and never backs down from a fight.

A love that burns and bleeds

and laughs and cries,

and shines with all the majesty of the stars.”

“The sorry thing about loss

is it’s not the pain that beats me,

but the fear the pain will pass,

that sooner or later I will

pull myself together and move on.

That’s the killing blow.

To know that someday down the line,

no matter how hard I fight it,

I will forget how it felt to love you.”
