“I would like to pause the story a moment to talk about ‘nothing will change’. I’ve heard it said to me repeatedly by women I love during my twenties when they move in with boyfriends, get engaged, move abroad, get married, get pregnant. ‘Nothing will change.’ It drives me bananas. Everything will change. Everything will change. The love we have for each other stays the same, but the format, the tone, the regularity and the intimacy of our friendship will change for ever.”
― Dolly Alderton, Everything I Know About Love

“No Longer Mine

It should be my right to mourn someone who has yet to leave this world but no longer wants to be part of mine.”
― Lang Leav, Sea of Strangers

“I will hold the colour gold in my hands and show you how beautiful this life can be even when your eyes have forgotten how to see the light.”
― Wilder Poetry, Nocturnal

“Let it guide you into a grand love affair with yourself. Until the love becomes so second nature you need it no more.”
― Amanda Lovelace, The Witch Doesn't Burn in This One
