Kindle Notes & Highlights
My mum used to say I hold grudges. But I prefer to think of it as I remember the facts
“Progress takes time, Luca. Don’t feel down. You might not be where you want to be, but you’re also not where you were yesterday. Each day is a baby step. You just keep looking forward and taking them, and I promise one day you’re going to look back and be surprised how far those tiny little steps have taken you.”
Money and things don’t buy happiness—a beautiful heart is far more valuable than anything that can be bought.”
What comes easy won’t last long, and what lasts long won’t come easy.”
If you stay in the present moment and not go where your mind is trying to lead you, then you will always be safe. There is safety in the now. Right now, you are in your bedroom talking to me. And that is all there really is. Your worries stem from past experiences and fear of the future. Neither the past nor the future is real. Only the present exists.
“We all have light and dark inside us, love. We try to hide the darkness from others because we’re afraid it will scare them away. But your dark doesn’t scare me, Luca. It only makes me want to hold your hand and be your light until you can find your own again. That’s what people do when they’re in love. I won’t always be able to give you your light back, because sometimes you need to find that within yourself, but I’ll stand by your side and hold your hand in the dark so things aren’t so scary.”
There will be hard times. But there will be amazing ones, too. You have to decide whether we’re worth the hardships. In the end, it’s going to come down to one thing: whether love is enough.”
“In case I wasn’t clear, love is enough for me, Luca. But you have to let me love you.”
Why did the sperm cross the road? A few seconds later, a second text came in. Griffin: Because I put on the wrong sock this morning.
What do tofu and a dildo have in common? He responded two seconds later. Griffin: What? Luca: They’re both meat substitutes.
What do you call a truck full of dildos? Griffin: What? Luca: Toys for Twats.
“Our fears are temporary—they come and go throughout life. But regret is permanent—we carry it with us forever.
I’m irritated as hell. But the fact remains that I still want to spend every angry, pissed-off, tired, irritated moment with you.
