Kindle Notes & Highlights
Depressing, isn’t it? The idea that we spend the rest of our lives trying to close the wound of our first love with the stitches we take from those that come after.
Breakdowns just really weren’t my style… and neither was self-pity or cowardice, for that matter.
Can't relate lol

He scoffs. “Brat.” “And don’t you forget it.”
Hehehe
“Why a photographer?” “Because sometimes life makes more sense from behind the lens of a camera.”

“When you’re taking a picture, you’re choosing what to capture… pain, love, death, life. The decision and degree of which is entirely up to you. You choose what message you want to relate without having to explain anything more than that. Life, people, are layered with stories… but in a photograph the only thing that matters is that moment. There doesn’t need to be anything more than that. There’s a simplicity, a purity to the one moment over the many.”

“I told you the other night… you’re a dangerous thing and I’m not done with you yet.”
“You’re Trouble” Ty
“Because I don’t do complicated. And more is always complicated.”
I feel that.
I have everything to lose here. All it would take would be one misstep with him, one drop of my guard too low, one crack of my wall in just the right place and I would fall. I know it, can practically see it. And here’s the thing about falling… you always hit the ground at some point.
I can’t help the soft smile that pulls at my lips because of the happiness his words spark inside of me.
