“Sometimes I worry I’d bore you if I told you every single time I found you beautiful. But you are. Just so you know.”
― Ann Liang, I Hope This Finds You

“Did I ever tell you the moment I realized I was in love with you?' [...] 'It was when you came and met me at school one afternoon. It had been raining. And of course, I hadn't brought an umbrella, even though I'm sure my mother had warned me to. But then there you were. Waiting for me with an umbrella in your hand. Despite the fact that you were so often absent-minded when it came to yourself, you knew me well enough to know I wouldn't have brought one. You were the first person apart from my family to care for me like that. [...] I thought to myself, This is someone who will do this for me for the rest of our lives. And I could see all the umbrellas you would bring me, a line of them stretching into infinity, the skin of your palm on their handles becoming more creased over time, your hair turning thinner and grayer.”

“You must make choices, or the world will make them for you.”
― Grady Hendrix, Witchcraft for Wayward Girls

“You want to know what being in love feels like? It’s an addiction. A drug you can’t get enough of. She consumes you. Her voice. Her laugh. Her smile. Everything reminds you of her. When you’re around her, you can’t help but smile. You’re giddy, nervous, and distracted all at once. You’re able to be your authentic self around her. One hundred percent yourself. She makes you fucking crazy. But, you don’t want to lose her. You can’t lose her. And you don’t know how to deal with that feeling. It’s both euphoric and dysphoric at the same time. It feels like you're losing your goddamn mind. It's like you’re the only two people who exist on this planet. All you want is to be around her. There’s truly nothing like it. Nothing.”
― Jessica Sydney, After All This Time
