Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I’ll watch every twilight with you. Every moonrise, too.”

“Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first. It’s a good life motto.”
“I don’t give a damn about the five minutes you missed that night. I give a damn about the last ten years you threw away.”

“Sometimes, the world doesn’t have the right to your feelings. It doesn’t mean you’re hiding. Just that some emotions are only for the people you trust most.”
