Kindle Notes & Highlights
How could you forget someone you loved even if I did rip his heart to shreds?
“You can learn a lot about a person by their features and what they do with them. But, getting to know someone—who they really are—takes time,”
“There’s something sad about your eyes; maybe it’s how big they are or the way they dip downward like they’re disappointed. They’re definitely vulnerable, but bold too, because you look at everything like you’re challenging it. Then, there’s the way that you hold your chin. You are defiant and stubborn, and you have a snobby little nose that’s always pointing due north. I think you pretend to be a snob to keep people away.”
I was a relationship retard. I kicked, shoved, and punched people out of my life, so they never had a chance to hurt me.
“I will love again, Olivia. You will hurt forever. What you’ve done is…you are worthless because you make yourself that way. You will remember me every day for the rest of your life because I was the one and you threw me away.”
“I think that after the first time you give your heart away, you never get it back. The rest of your life is just you pretending that you still have a heart.”
“I’m saying that you don’t love him as much as you love yourself.”
“There is more to loving someone than just making yourself happy. You have to want him to be happier than you are.”
No matter how we try to stay apart, something keeps guiding us back together.
“I love you too, Olivia. More than I could ever love another soul. There hasn’t been a single hour in seven years that I haven’t thought of you.”
Life always keeps moving, even if it has to drag you along, kicking and screaming.
Caleb was like a hurricane that swept through my life, stirring up things inside of me that I never knew existed. He is a longing I will never cure.
Life balances itself on a precarious ledge; we can stay safe up high or propel off the edge.
You can only give your heart away once; after that, everything else will chase your first love.
I have finally accepted that there are consequences to every action. I earned them and they are rightfully mine. There is no time to make bad decisions. Every step is precious. The definition of living is mine.
