“I see now that the point of self-progress is not to pursue perfection, but to move closer to the truth of who we really are, to untangle our deepest fears and doubts, and arrive at that sweet and tender place where we can be confidently, comfortably and unapologetically ourselves.”

“I’ve always been enchanted by the endings of things - closing paragraphs, final encores, series finales, sunsets. They remind us that letting go needn’t always be reason for sorrow, that there is still beauty to be found in even the saddest farewell.”

“I’ve always been enchanted by the endings of things. Series finales and sunsets. Last paragraphs and final encores. I think for the way they remind us that letting go of something you love needn’t always be heartbreaking - that there is still beauty to be found in even the saddest farewell.”

“But there’s good and bad in anything. And

at the end of the day, all we have to decide is who we share that good and bad with.”

“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.”

"Listen, it’s going to be alright, feeling a little heartbroken now and then is a good thing...."

“Listen, it’s going to be alright, feeling a little heartbroken now and then is a good thing. It’s how you know you still care. It’s how you know there are things for you in this world that still matter—that are still worth burning for.”

“When they work, long distance relationships are the best sort of beautiful, I think. That a person could wait months, cross miles and oceans for a few short spectacular moments with the person they love, that’s it, you know, that’s what we’re all searching for.”

“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 turning back.”

“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.”

“Give me truth, however cold or cruel or hard it is to hear. I would prefer my heart broken if it means I can then release the hurt and move on, than waste a single moment of my time being fooled by a lie intended to preserve my feelings.”
