“What is love if not the desire to be there during someone’s lowest moments? What use does it have if we refuse to let the people closest to us share in our suffering when it matters most?”
― Haley Pham, Just Friends

“I met my younger self for coffee at 10:15.
she was late.
I was early.
I wore my dark brown hair in a slicked back bun.
her hair was faded red and in her face.
I had dark blue jeans on.
she wore sweatpants with a few stains.
she lets out a sigh and has a good cry.
I tell her to release her feelings one at a time.
the scars on her have now faded on me quite a bit.
I want to tell her it won't always be like this.
but I don't.
She doesn't need to hear that things will be better.
she just wants a hug and reassurance of her feelings during this uncertain season ahead of her.
we leave the aroma of coffee beans and baked goods.
I walk her home to our old neighborhood.
we won't meet again for fifteen more years.
but each day she thinks of the woman who acknowledged her tears.”

“If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we are made for another world.”

“A woman's heart should be so close to God that a man should have to chase Him to find her.”
