“There's a kind of alchemy at work in first meetings—how they etch themselves into our narratives, often far more vividly than we realise in the moment. What screams serendipity on the outside is essentially—mainly—a brew of hope, curiosity, and fear. With just a touch of self-delusion.
We see what we want to see, hear what we want to hear, and often miss the subtle cues pointing to what's really there. It's why we can walk away from a first kiss feeling like we've found something significant, life-changing, earth-shattering, genre-defining, only to find later that we were merely projecting our own desires onto a blank, lonely page. But, by the gods of sanity, I couldn't have cared less.”

“The universe is full of noise; endless chatter, utter chaos. And somewhere in the middle, there's you, trying to make sense of it all. You're the quiet in the storm. You're the meaning you've been looking for.”

“I've realised the hardest person to forgive is the me who didn't know better. She was doing her best, but sometimes I still flinch when I hear her voice.”
