“You were an unexpected surprise.

The defining moment. The collision of stars that slammed into me hard and sent my neat little world plummeting into the ocean.

I never expected it to be you, you know?

But it is you. It’s all you. And now there’s no looking back.”

“The quality of a friendship should be measured on the strength of your bond and the abundance of love between you, not the number of times you catch up over coffee or go out drinking. We all have different needs, schedules and responsibilities. What’s important is you are there when it matters.”

“Timing is a hell of a thing. In the end, that’s all it comes down to. The potency of an attraction or the purity of a connection mean very little if you’re on separate journeys.

You and I were a perfect fit, we were, there was just too much distance between us to see it.”

- Beau Taplin • Separate Journeys

“Yes, love is all about sacrifice and compromise, but it’s important also to establish a limit. You shouldn’t

have to throw your whole life away to make a relationship work. If you have to lose

yourself to please your partner, you’re with the wrong person.”

“I know we can’t seem to catch a break.

And sometimes it feels like the

whole universe is conspiring against us.

But damn the stars, I choose you.

And no matter the odds, no challenge

or obstacle will ever be enough to stand in

our way.”

“True intimacy is more than fooling around with somebody you’re physically attracted to. I want to share myself with somebody who will press her hands through the surface of my skin, curl herself up inside my soul and say, Here, this is who I am.”

“Truth is, the best revenge is seeking none at all and investing that energy in your own health and progress, prioritising personal goals you’ve been neglecting, and working toward creating a passionate, prosperous, and fulfilling future of your own.”

“I’ve never been capable of making time or space in my life for people who do not consume me completely. I occupy myself only with those I love deeply, but for those precious few, I would go to the ends of the Earth.”
