Kindle Notes & Highlights
having stories stuck in my own soul was the reason I needed to hear other people’s stories.
‘Live life in moments, not in days or years or your schedules. It’s our misconception—most of the time—that we live our lives the way we want. Every single step that we take is influenced by others. Only the part that we hide from everyone else and keep deep within our heart, is our own.
‘People need stories. Stories of love, hope, survival, wisdom and sometimes pain. Maybe you don’t tell them the full truth; maybe you tell them lies. But what is this world? A lie in itself.’
Money comes with a price, and for me, the price is both freedom and a real life.
‘Everyone is a writer. Some are written in books, and some are confined to hearts.’
I loved making her laugh; the sweet sound filled my soul with such happiness, I couldn’t imagine how I had navigated through my days before I met her.
I was also a fool for not telling her how much I cared earlier. When I finally did, her past took on a life of itself and she allowed it to get between us. She loved someone who left her life in such an uproar that it scarred her beautiful heart.’
Love is the strangest thing. When you have love, you will be over the moon and it will seem as if nothing can stop you. Love is something that opens your eyes to new discoveries, even in old places. You want to discover the wonders of the world all over again with the person who holds your heart in their own. When you lose it, all that once seemed to make the world around you will shatter.
In the end, we always regret the choices we didn’t make, the love we didn’t accept and the dreams we didn’t fight for.
‘some women can steal your heart by their beauty, some can steal your mind by their intelligence and others can steal your soul by their presence. But if you meet the one who can steal your everything without doing anything, that’s the one made for you.’
to love is to understand and set your love free to chase his dreams.
sometimes the smallest changes in life are where the largest impacts come from.
‘Do you know the worst thing a man can do to a woman?’ I shrugged. ‘I am assuming it is being unfaithful.’ ‘No, it is making her fall in love with you when you have no intentions of loving her back.’
Some pieces of life find themselves so attached to our mind that when they are gone, they remind us of themselves a lot more than before. Yet someday we will realize that every piece becomes blurry, every memory starts fading. Just like an old book.
everyone has a story. It might or might not be a love story. It could be a story of dreams, friendship, hope, survival or even death. And every story is worth telling. But more than that, it’s worth living.
