Kindle Notes & Highlights
He arrived wrapped in warning, of which I’d never heed. Every shade of gray, sunshine and rain-drenched days. A love that visited and never stayed. Again and again and again.
Hearts are such unpredictable things, you can never control to whom they might sing.
“You’re a flower bound to suffocate without sunshine, fresh air, and tasty nutrients.”
I was sixteen when I saw the boy I’d watched blossom into a young man kiss someone. Someone who wasn’t me. Someone who looked nothing remotely like me.
“I’m going to fall.” “So fall,” he said, low and confident. “I’ll be here to help you get back up.”
As if somehow, someway the vibrancy of the world had dripped away, and the only color that remained was us.
“You’re beautiful, but when you smile, you’re a portrait of starlit dreams.”
“Being with you, I’ve never felt anything more instinctual or more natural in my life.”
In a world filled with thorns and poisonous flowers, somehow, I was lucky enough to find you. My clover.
I’ll always be no fucking good for someone like you.”
i actually hate the “i’m not good enough for you” trope it’s legit no excuse to fuck around with someone

“You’re too fucking beautiful for this world.”

“Waiting and all but praying that you’d fall for me even half as hard as I’ve fallen for you,
“You’re my home.
“And if you’re my home, where else would I go?”
Like the sun and the moon, we’d always revolve around one another, doomed to dance on opposing sides of fate.
those were some of the hardest things I’ve ever done.”
so why did you do them knobhead
For the dreamer who hadn’t had a chance to fulfill his dream yet.
But I’d spent too much of my life being in love, and I was sick of the way it seemed to cause more pain than happiness. If my goal in life was to make others happy, to fill people’s eyes and souls, and my own, with beauty, then I couldn’t keep slamming heart-first into misery.
“I once thought the world of you.
“Love isn’t everything. It’s not what I need from you.”
“Grudges, betrayal—they burn longer and brighter, and can last a lifetime where love is concerned.”
“You don’t need to marry him to forgive him. To try again.”
need to know you forgive me before I take anything else from you.”
you’re worth believing in.”
