“She is like moonlight. I never felt the darkness in her shadow.”

There are people that start a fire in us that keeps warming us on the dark days.

If you’re waiting for a perfect love story, create it. You don’t have to wait for another person to fall in love.

That feeling when you know you’re not meant to be together, but you’re not ready to let go.

We’re so busy trying to move on and living our lives, that we sometimes forget to appreciate how far we’ve come, how well our wounds healed, and that somewhere along the journey, we’ve learned to let go.

Sometimes, we’re just tired and set people free because we can’t fight anymore and we hope they might come back one day and stay for good.

The worst part about toxic relationships is, you might not realize the toxicity as long as the relationship lasts.

Never listen to the advice of someone who is not where you want to be. 

Don’t sanitize your story so others can feel clean.

The more you hurt, the more you grow.

New pain is an old pain wrapped in a new story.

Have the courage to laugh in the places you have cried.

When you embrace freedom, you also embrace loneliness.

A blank canvas is still better than a ruined painting.

Learn to love the sound of your feet walking away from people not meant for you.

Expectations kills more people than the best gun in the world.

I am not a person you will find twice.

Where both deliberate, the love is slight: Who ever lov’d, that lov’d not at first sight?

I don’t say I know what love is. But whatever it is, you are its every shade.

After all, damn it, what does being in love mean if you can’t trust a person.

To see a young couple loving each other is no wonder; but to see an old couple loving each other is the best sight of all.

Love cannot in its very nature be peaceful or content. It is a restlessness, an unsatisfaction. I can grant a lasting love just as I can grant a lasting unsatisfaction; but the lasting love cannot be coupled with possession, for love is pain and desire and possession is easement and fulfilment.

My best friend had a hockey scholarship at Ohio State, so I would get a couple of pairs at the beginning of the season and send them down to him. They practised two hours a day. He’d skate in them for three weeks then ship them back.

A strong beginning is a good thing only when coupled with a strong finish.

There are times in my life where I’ve had boyfriends or girlfriends.
