Accept what cannot be changed.

The saddest thing about relationships is realizing that one day the memories may become warmer than the person.

Either be close enough to be held, or far enough to be forgotten.

There is no greater romance than the one between a woman and her growing stack of unread books.

“Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive.”

Damage (1992)

the intimacy of someone learning your soul slowly.

I spend more time dreaming of a different life than actually living mine.

Trying to decide whether to go to sleep or not, because I love sleeping just as much as I love my free time at night.

A friend is someone who knows your song and sings it back to you when you have forgotten it. They remember your beauty when you forget it, your wholeness when you are broken, your innocence when you feel guilty, and your purpose when you are lost.

Texting is overrated, let’s meet in the rain, have coffee, and talk like it’s the 90’s.

“I can’t think of any greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, endlessly, even though I feel that here in this world there’s no undisturbed place for our love, neither in the village nor anywhere else; and I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us any more.”

Franz Kafka, Franz Kafka's The Castle

It was never about the big things, it’s actually about the little moments that feel like magic.

The heaviest thing I’ve ever carried inside me is emptiness.

I fall in love with late night talks, rainy windows, empty streets at night, comfortable silences and people who speak softly.

“The thing I’m most afraid of is me. Of not knowing what I’m supposed to do. Of not knowing what I’m doing right now.”

Haruki Murakami
