“we need to learn to give love as others need it not how we want to receive it.”

“You may not feel it now, but things will get better, even if life doesn’t tell you when.”

“Life is too short for games unless it’s a game of cards. Don’t text back right away; if you like them, pretend you don’t; and don’t you dare say I love you first. Well screw all that. I will text you back in three seconds; I will tell you that I like you; and if I love you, I’ll tell you every chance I get. Life is unpredictable, and I’d rather play every card as honestly as I can than have a deck full of regrets and what-ifs.”

“you’re my 1am thoughts. the spaces between my fingers. the laughter that lives on the tip of my tongue now. eyepiece. umbrella. shield. sugar in my tea. i’m a wanderer and you’re woodlands. a summer thunderstorm quenching the drought in this arid, dusty sea of red earth. because that’s the thing. without meaning to, you’ve become my favourite things about breathing when my lungs feel like giving out. — without meaning to”
