This is what I know: in this life, steady love and a place to call home are far more precious than all the earthly possessions and wealth in the world.”
“Falling for someone isn’t a process. You can’t plan for it in advance or anticipate its arrival. Love strikes in single moments. Anywhere. Anytime. Some day you catch them gardening in the sun, or singing dreadfully in the shower, and you think, ‘oh, I could spend all my life with you.’”
“I need to move around a bit. To shuffle my surroundings. To wake up in cities I don’t know my way around and have conversations in languages I cannot entirely comprehend. There is always this tremendous longing in my heart to be lost, to be someplace else, and to be far far away from all this.”
“I am deathly afraid of almosts. Of coming so close to where I want to be in life that I can almost taste it, almost touch it, then fall just a little short.”
“I like to think that loneliness is just the echo of missing a person you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting quite yet.”
“There are people who you will love until the end. Certain feelings are too powerful to perish and quietly survive on in the heart for a lifetime. No matter how much we change or drift apart, in some small way, you will always be mine, and I will always be yours.”
“Everyone you meet has a part to play in your story. and while some may take a chapter, others a paragraph, and most will be no more than scribbled notes in the margins, someday, you’ll meet someone who will become so integral to your life, you’ll put their name in the title.”
“I plant roots so deeply in the people I love that I always lose a piece of myself when they go.”
