“It’s braver to stay. It takes courage to stay. I am sure I speak for all the single people here when I say that I don’t want to ever lack that courage. I don’t want to lose my best friend and my true love, just because I wanted to
stay in control and not take a risk. Even if they walked away, even if
they ran to the other side of the world, even if I thought that I didn't have a chance in hell, I still want to know that I did everything I could
to make it happen.”
― Gemma Burgess, A Girl Like You

“And being alone and being lonely were two different things but they felt exactly the same: they felt horrible.”
― Sarra Manning, Adorkable

“I am not a person to say the words out loud / I think them strongly, or let them hunger from the page.”
