Kindle Notes & Highlights
Loving you was learning that love is a personal choice and I’ll always choose love. And if I had to do it all over, I would still choose you.
Why am I always the one who’s ready? The one who’s willing to stay, the one who’s willing to try against all odds and the only one who’s willing to fight?
And I want to be remembered as the girl who loved too much, even the ones who didn’t deserve it. I want to be remembered as the girl who cared more, even about the ones who never gave a damn, the girl who was generous with her heart, even to those who were stingy with theirs.
nothing terrifies me more than heartbreak, nothing scares me more than someone loving me one day and deciding they don’t want me the next. Nothing terrifies me more than being so close to someone and then watching them become a stranger again.
It hurts that God sent you as a lesson; it hurts that you were just a test. It hurts that you’re not the final answer.
Up till now, I’m holding on because I can’t figure out how to let go.
In learning to love you, I learned more about what love is and what love is not.
I wanted it to be me. The girl who made you ready. The girl you couldn’t afford to lose.
It’s not about commitment issues, it’s about appreciating the person enough that you don’t want to lose them.
It’s not about timing, it’s about how much time you really want to spend with that person.
It’s about your heart and who it moves for. And maybe I didn’t move yours the way you moved mine. But don’t tell me you weren’t ready; just tell me I wasn’t the one.
The pain of loving someone who will never be mine, the pain of giving someone a chance knowing that they will blow every chance I’ll ever give them.
Seeing her made me realize that I didn’t even know you because if this is who you fell in love with, then there was no way you’d fall in love with me.
All it took was seeing her to understand why you never fell for me. All it took was seeing her to wholeheartedly believe that I’m not the girl for you and you’re not the guy for me.
But I’m the girl who will always want more. I’m the girl who will never settle.
But thank you for not fighting for me; you taught me how to fight for myself and that was the greatest lesson I’ve ever learned.
But don’t tell me that I’m failing at finding love because of who I am. I’m not failing; I just haven’t found love yet because I haven’t met the right person yet. I haven’t found love because I don’t want to change to be with the wrong person. I don’t want to fool someone into loving who I am not. I am waiting for the one who will love me for who I am and won’t ask me to change so he can be with me.
