“We all have slow days, off days, days we feel tired or uninspired, but they are nothing to concern yourself with. Like the ocean, the stillness is just another of our natural states.

Soon, the winds will pick up, the waves will rise, and your imagination will flow again.”

“Things never end the way you expect them to. Though our time with each other was always vibrant and loving, the end came suddenly and spineless, without send off or ceremony, slipping away quietly into the dark. 

An ordinary moment, like any other, that just happened to be our last.”

“Immediately leave behind those who use manipulative behaviour to convince you to change or lose your identity. You are not putty to be played with or a project to be

perfected, but a magnificent and unique manifestation of the universe. You have the right and responsibility to be Yourself.”

“It is said that we must never look for happiness in another, that true contentment is something we must endeavour to create for ourselves. But with you, all that careful logic falls away, until I am positively convinced that only you could make me happy, and nothing else ever will.”

“A relationship is like a slow dance. Every movement must be taken carefully and in consideration of the partner’s and a single misstep can result in disaster, but when a couple dedicates themselves to perfecting this performance, to the pursuit of intimately knowing each other, the result is devastatingly beautiful.



Selflessness and compromise meet together like clasped hands. While trust and loyalty lock like a love-struck gaze. Care and understanding bear each challenge with mastery and poise like pairs of nimble feet spinning gracefully across a dance floor. As one partner bends, the other bows. As one partner falls, the other reaches out to catch them.



When a relationship works it is effortless and fluid, a meticulously choreographed pirouette between two partnered souls in perfect balance.”

“To me, a rich and satisfying life means one full of contrast. Give me sleep ins. And soft rains. Coffee shops and conversation. But also adrenaline and adventure. And drunken bellows to the stars. I am determined to embrace this extraordinary life for all that it has to offer.”

“I’m not choosing you because our being together makes sound, solid sense. I choose you because you make me forget there’s a choice.”

“I have learned that people can

but by far the most

dangerous thing they can ever do

is come back.”
