“There’s a place in the ocean, so deep, where not a single point of light penetrates through it. And for so long, I’ve been trapped there, unable to breathe. When I met you, you lifted me out of that darkness, and it was the first time I came up for air. You’ve become my oxygen, bella ladra, and I can no longer breathe without you.”
― H.D. Carlton, Does It Hurt?

“You can’t make yourself be happy. But you can be open to it. You can trust yourself enough to feel it when you stumble on it.”
― B.K. Borison, In the Weeds

“Life has a funny way of throwing people into your path when you’re meant to collide. It’s up to you to choose to make it permanent.”
