There are times when you want to be what you have never allowed yourself to be before.

Aidan Chambers

The thing is, when love is real, whether it’s ebbing or flowing, it’s always there, it never goes away. And that’s the only proof you can have that it is real, and not just a crush or an infatuation or a passing fancy
