“Listen. A healthy relationship isn’t living vicariously through one another. True love isn’t someone being there at your side every moment of every day, but feeling free, and encouraged, to pursue your own passions, and then sharing in the spoils of your triumphs together.”

“I am not afraid of an argument. Get emotional. Get angry. Spit language venom. Be unrelenting and cruel with your words if you feel you have to be. Because above all else I am terrified of the silence. Of things becoming so passionless between us there is no longer anything left worth fighting for.”

“Self-love is an ocean and your heart is a vessel. Make it full, and any excess will spill over into the lives of the people you hold dear, but you must come first.”

"I swear I’m through playing it safe. There’s no room in love for caution or meticulous planning...."

“I swear I’m through playing it safe. There’s no room in love for caution or meticulous planning. True love is total mindless disregard. Handing over your heart and never looking back. I am through allowing my head to make decisions for me that only the wild, foolish heart can understand.”

“I love senselessly or not at all. I cannot give myself away to those who do not consume me, no matter how kind or committed they are, but capture the full attention of my heart, and however toxic you are for me, I would conquer the world in your name if you asked.”

“Some show love rarely 

and mostly in small quiet gestures;

sharing an umbrella in the rain, 

leaving you the last slice of pizza, 

throwing their arms around you when

you’re feeling upset or afraid.

Love does not have to be flamboyant 

or loud to be present.”

“Some show love rarely

and mostly in small quiet gestures;

sharing an umbrella in the rain,

leaving you the last slice of their pizza,

throwing their arms around you

when you’re sad or afraid.

Love does not have to be flamboyant

or loud to be present.”

“There is still love here. I can feel it. A small flame of hope left between us. And maybe it is only a faint cold light, but why should we leave this behind for the certain dark, when all it needs is some kindling and air to breathe—when all we need is another chance.”

“It is incredible how alone one person’s absence can make you feel. I could be in a room surrounded by all my friends and family, but without you I might as well be standing on the surface of the moon.”

“It hurts my head to think of how many things had to happen for our paths to intersect. Of all those numberless little fortunes that led me to you. A broken alarm clock, a delayed train, a sudden downpour, and there we were. You and I, sharing coffee, our whole lives ahead of us.”
