‘Go confidently in the direction of your dreams,’ Thoreau had said. ‘Live the life you’ve imagined.’
“I vowed after that day that I would be your hero too, no matter how long it took”

“In all these things, I am more than victorious through Him who loves me.”
― There You'll Find Me
― There You'll Find Me
“It's so strange how life works: You want something and you wait and wait and feel like it's taking forever to come. Then it happens and it's over and all you want to do is curl back up in that moment before things changed.”
― Delirium

“And I guess that's when it starts to hit me: the whole point is, you do what you can.”

“I'm not with Rob," I say quickly. "Not anymore."
"You're not?" He's staring at me so intensely I can see the stripes of gold alternating with the green in his eyes like spokes of a wheel.
I shake my head.
"That's a good thing." He's still staring at me like that, like he's the first and last person who will ever stare at me.
"Because..." His voice trails off, and his eyes travel slowly down to my lips, and there's so much heat roaring through
my body I swear I'm going to pass out.
"Because?" I prompt him, surprised I can still speak.
"Because I'm sorry, but I can't help it, and I really need to kiss you right now.”
