“My heart does not

it’s you

“That’s what’s so damn difficult about making the decision to leave.

Whether it’s the right or wrong call the hurt’s just the same.”

“There are no

half measures in love,

only all or nothing,

and if it doesn’t make you

tremble or go mad

at the very thought

of its absence, 

you should quietly let go

and move on.”

“Why should a relationship mean settling down? Wait out for someone who won’t let life escape you, who’ll challenge you and drive you toward your dreams. Someone spontaneous you can get lost in the world with. A relationship, with the right person, is a release not a restriction.”

“I have been told our skin cells replace themselves entirely once every two to four weeks, while the collection of cells that make up the heart can take more than twenty years. This must be why you forget how it feels to  hold a person, long before you forget how it feels to love them.”

“You don’t know distance

until you’ve shared your bed

with someone who's 

falling out of love with you.”

“You remind me so much of life’s simple pleasures and everything effortless and sweet in the world - good read, fresh, clean sheets, a quick dip in the sea, a cozy, rainy Sunday morning with a hot cup of coffee and no place to be.”

“Fight hard and fiercely for the person you love, but after a point, for the good and peace of your own heart, you must learn to concede defeat and withdraw, to recognise clearly when the war you are bleeding for has already been fought and lost.”

“Big goals are important. You should always have a clear vision of where you would ultimately like to be. But be sure to set yourself a number of smaller goals along the way. Accomplishment drives ambition. The dream might be the destination, but the little triumphs will get you there.”

“I rarely open up. I don’t like to feel vulnerable or be misunderstood. But now and then I get to talking to somebody and something about them resonates with me. Whether total stranger or old friend, in their presence, I feel a certain safety roll over me, and everything comes gushing out.”
