To see someone you love, in a bad setting, is one of the great barometers of gratitude.
Aimee BenderAimee Bender Like just now. Like now. How is it possible? Can you love someone more and more and at the same time, all the time, love them as much as it’s possible to love someone?
Aidan ChambersAidan Chambers I thought that despite all the wounds and all the pains it could cause I wanted to dream again, and love someone with all my heart.
Ai YazawaAi Yazawa How do I think of you? As someone I want to be with. As someone as young as me, but “older,” if that makes sense. As someone I like to look at, not just because you’re good to look at, but because just looking at you makes me smile and feel happier.
