Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Be simple and do whatever the hell it is you have to do to make yourself happy.”
I shut up for NO MAN!”
“what’s inside of you is a heart that is dying to live, and your head is too afraid to let you do it fully, the way you deserve. It’s the most tragic thing I’ve ever seen. You’re a prisoner of your own making.”
“The point is—I don’t believe in miracles, but I’m falling for mine.”
I was weeks away from thirty years old and had just found my first love. And my soulmate. But not my forever.
“Koti, that little girl’s first sign was daddy, and it meant everything to me. I’ve been there for every single step, every hurt, every heartbreak, every milestone—she’s my whole fucking life.”
She was my golden shore after the shipwreck that was my life and she’d loved me with her whole heart, only to let me break it.
“Do whatever the hell it is you have to do to make yourself happy.”
“I’ll be here, okay. I’ll be here, Ian. I’ll wait as long as you need me to. I’m being selfish so I can pay for it that way. If I wait for you, will you come?” “Koti, don’t waste your life on love’s obligations. Things may change for you.” “Do you think you will still love me?” “I know I will, I’ll never stop loving you.” “Then I’ll wait.” “I can’t ask you for that.” “You didn’t.” “Koti, this is ridiculous. You’ve wasted enough time.” “The stars are back, Ian, because of you, they’re back. I don’t see them the same way. Do you still want to be here?” “More than anything.”
“They were my eyes. I’m the man you pictured having a child with. I’m here to tell you I want the same.”
I love you. I need you. I want that beautiful dream back. I can’t live without you. I tried, and I hated it. I’ll be there when you make mistakes, when you hurt, when you’re scared. I’ll be there. I’ll marry you. I’ll want children with you. We can live anywhere you want. I’m lost without my love. I need you back. Tell me what to do. If you don’t want words, tell me what you want. Please. Please. Please.
“I was a shitty boyfriend, but I’ll be a better husband.”
“To all of it, to everything. Be my life. Marry me and if you say yes, I promise the only thing I’ll ever be selfish about again is you. Say yes and let’s go back to our beach.”
“I’m so proud of you. You are mine. Your sarcasm, that’s mine, your need to fix things, that’s me, your independence, me, your mean right hook, your love for superhero movies, that all comes from me. All of those things and much more. You are a reflection of me. And you will never be replaced.”
“Because I married my miracle.”
Sometimes what’s meant to be isn’t written in the stars, instead, it’s a journey on the path less traveled without a map of guidance, without certainty.
