“And what about the lovers who spend hours staring into each other's eyes? Is it a display of trust? I will let you in close and trust you not to hurt me while I'm in this vulnerable position. And if trust is one of the foundations of love, perhaps the staring is a way to build or reinforce it. Or maybe it's simpler than that.
A simple search for connection.
To see.
To be seen.”
― Nicola Yoon, The Sun Is Also a Star

“Brave doesn't mean you're not scared. It means you go on even though you're scared.”

“My pain was never more valuable than his potential.”
― Chanel Miller, Know My Name

“People spend their whole lives looking for love. Poems and songs and entire novels are written about it. But how can you trust something that can end as suddenly as it begins?”
