Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Verbally sparring with you is the highlight of my day, Josephine.”
She’s the day. Sunshine. Brightness. All-encompassing warmth. Lending a hand wherever needed. Someone people look to for solace, joy and comfort. I’m the night. Colder. Darker. Uninviting. Someone people rarely offer more than a passing second or two of attention to, eagerly searching for the bright colors of a new dawn.
There’s no way to sugarcoat this. You are sweet, and I am not. I’m sorry. For so many things. -JL
“Trust me, you’re not a dark soul. You’re simply searching for the light. There’s a big difference.”
“You’re trying, even if you aren’t whole yet. Sometimes, that’s what is most important. Sometimes, trying is half the battle.”
Love doesn’t pick the pretty parts to like about someone; it’s all-encompassing.
“She looks at you like you hung the moon.”
Do what brings you joy?
“You plague my thoughts, Josephine. Day after day. You haunt my dreams, an inescapable cycle. And you brighten my darkest, most sorrowful nightmares, lighting up my gloomy world like a million lanterns.
I don’t know what it means, but when I look at you, I… I feel like I finally belong.
I’ve learned over the last few months that love is more than a word used to describe how someone makes you feel.
