Sarah J. Harris
“No, I’m luckier. I fell in love with him at first sight. We’ve only shared the briefest of time together, but it’s been the happiest and saddest experience of my life. Through loving him, I’ve discovered I’m strong enough to do anything. I’m a better, braver person.’ I wet my dry lips. ‘When you meet that person, everything falls into place. They feel like home. It’s like returning to your favourite painting and loving each brush stroke all over again.”
Sarah J. Harris, Meet Me on the Bridge

“His hands fly up to cradle my jaw. "I won't hurt you, Daphne."
"You don't know that," I whisper.
"I know how hard I'll try," he says. "Just stay. I love you. I want you. Stay.”
Emily Henry, Funny Story

“So many decisions I made were based on the fear of what could go wrong, instead of my hopes for what might go right.”

“You mean so much to me, Miles," I say. "So much. But you can't be everything. You were right that I'd love it here. I do. And you're a huge part of why I want to build a life here. But I can't build it around you.”
Emily Henry, Funny Story

“This is something I regret, and something I would encourage you to investigate ASAP if you’re in a relationship. If you haven’t already, start now. Consider crafting a relationship contract that lays out the foundations and guidelines for the various facets of your relationship, including the inevitable conflicts that arise. While the content of the contract is up to you, I recommend that it address how you’ll handle a range of issues such as disappointments, conflicts, differences in needs and desires, frustrations, communication styles, and mismatched libidos. Essentially, address all potential challenges proactively, in the abstract, before they become concrete, real-world problems. Also, begin having these conversations from the start of your relationship, so that when challenges inevitably arise in years two, five, ten, or twenty, you will already have the language and tools required to navigate them. Many couples are not proactive in their communication because they never learned how to be, but it’s never too late to start.”
Todd Baratz, How to Love Someone Without Losing Your Mind: Forget the Fairy Tale and Get Real
