Kindle Notes & Highlights
There’s nothing like the guilt you feel when there’s room in your heart to love evil.
“The first time you told me you lived me because you weren’t ready to tell me you loved me yet?”
I begin to fall asleep in a wave of disbelief. We have just wholly fallen into each other, heart and soul. I never thought I would ever be able to trust a man enough to share my heart, much less hand it over completely.
It’s what happens when two people become one: they no longer only share love. They also share all of the pain, heartache, sorrow, and grief.
“I want you to remember who you are, despite the bad things that are happening to you. Because those bad things aren’t you. They are just things that happen to you. You need to accept that who you are, and the things that happen to you, are not one and the same.”
“Sky, if you’re wondering if I have commitment issues, the answer is no. Someday in the far, far, far away future…like post-college future…when I propose to you…which I will be doing one day because you aren’t getting rid of me…I won’t be marrying you with the hope that our marriage will work out. When you become mine, it’ll be a forever thing. I’ve told you before that the only thing that matters to me with you are the forevers, and I mean that.”
“That’s because I’ve been thinking about forever with you since the second I saw you in the grocery store.”
“It was definitely the dimples,” I say, smiling. I can’t count the number of times he’s made me smile in the half hour we’ve been here,
“Sometimes you have to choose between a bunch of wrong choices and no right ones. You just have to choose which wrong choice feels the least wrong.”
The things that knock you down in life are tests, forcing you to make a choice between giving in and remaining on the ground or wiping the dirt off and standing up even taller than you did before you were knocked down. I’m choosing to stand up taller. I’ll probably get knocked down a few more times before this life is through with me, but I can guarantee you I’ll never stay on the ground.
“I’m not worried about us either. And for the record, I don’t believe in happily ever afters.” He laughs. “Good, because you’re not really getting one. All you’re getting is me.”
