Kindle Notes & Highlights
“The heart doesn’t care who it should love. Only who makes it sing.”
He held you like you were his own heart, ripped out of his damn chest and beating in his arms.”
“Love isn’t contingent on never keeping a secret. It’s about trust. It’s about standing together, even when you don’t understand, and never giving up, even when things get hard.”
I was too selfish, too headstrong, too independent. I didn’t believe in fates and forevers. But I did believe in love.
Most people would say to fall is to give up. To accept total helplessness to one’s predicament. For those fleeting, frightening moments in the air, both time and your heart stand still, and you’re at the mercy of gravity’s pull—and whatever awaits you on the ground. But that’s only what happens when you’re pushed. When you jump—when you stand on the ledge, look down, and embrace what you see with arms wide open—there’s nothing helpless about it at all. Instead of terrifying, it’s liberating. You’re not in freefall... you’re in flight.
“Don’t mistake the pain of change for failure.”
“Sometimes the best way to show your love for someone is by making the hard decision they won’t.”
“Let all those who might try to tear us apart see this and know how far my devotion will go. I will suffer for you, bleed for you, but most of all, I will survive for you. My body can be carved in two, open and dying, and still I will crawl from the ruins of my flesh and fight my way back to your side. Death itself could not keep me away.
