“Perhaps we never stop loving someone. We just learn to move forward. To live without them because of them. Perhaps we let go to hold on.”
― Caroline George, Dearest Josephine

“If Loving Was Easy, Everyone Would Be Loving It”

“Jean-Luc takes a deep drag, flips a page of his book, and exhales. The smoke hangs in midair for a second like a ghost flashing through. In my usual world, I would’ve despised the sight and the smell of his cigarette. But this is not my usual world, and this is not my usual self. Instead, the smoke becomes a magical sight and even the smell captivates me.”
― Corey M.P., Hearts and Errors

“three years ago we went to sleep.
innocent feelings of happiness and maybe some stress,
we had our outfits picked out, like a red and pink dress.
bears and chocolates and roses were in our backpacks,
that would become our protection just the next day.
if I could go back, I would say
hold your loved ones tighter,
use your voice and become a fighter.
nothing is promised and it is okay to be upset,
we will move forward, but never forget.
tragedy doesn't get easier, we get stronger.
just promise me you will hold on longer.”
― Brittany Sinitch
