“She looked like the nostalgia that settles in your ribs at the end of a story you have never read, yet nevertheless know.”

“If you are a figment of my imagination, some wild dream, I hope I never wake.” ✨

“It was the first time I understood that beauty has its own power. Beauty transformed. Its presence could coax ambrosia from sour fruit or take an ordinary, rained-upon sidewalk and dew it with diamonds. I wanted beauty to touch me, change me, declare me worthy of its notice.” ✨

a gothic fairy tale esque story?!?! Count me immediately in 😭😭✨

I’m too stunned to speak….
WAS IST DAS FÜR EIN PLOT TWIST ?!?! 😳🤯

“Sprout, it’s a privilege to waste time - waste as much of it as you can. On things you love, on things you enjoy, on moments that make you so happy you could burst. And in the end, if you do it right, none of it will have been a waste at all.” 🥹

“Let’s find you.”
“If anyone can, I’m sure it’s you.” 🥺

“Most people didn’t, I had come to discover, until they lost it. You got so used to having something- to it being there - that when it no longer was you kicked yourself for wondering why you hadn’t spent more time talking with them, and sharing stories, and committing them to memory. Hindsight was always sharp and bitter when you finally used it.”

“The loneliness was so heavy and so unremarkable, I couldn’t explain it even if I tried. I felt like a flower too full of rain, bending down to the earth because the water was just too much. It wasn’t like the loss of a spouse, or the loss of a parent, or a sibling - it was different. Bigger.”
ouch 🥺

“but there is this feeling when you meet someone special. Like finding a lost puzzle piece and clicking it into place - there’s a certainty to it. A *Yes, you are my person.*” 🥹

FINALLY reading Ashley Postons new book and I‘m so excited 😭😭😭

“There is no parallel universe. There is no ‘what could have been if only.’ In some ways this has brought me a great deal of peace. In other ways it is bitter. How cruel life is only this long.” 🥺😭

This story is getting to me now…
Haven’t read something so unbelievable personal and life altering in so long 🥺

“You get the one life. It’s awfully unfair, isn’t it?”

“We embrace and I think of all the other men and women who must have sat beside this ancient hearth, sharing their good news. The centuries pass but the hope and optimism that accompanies each new family at their beginning is the same. What else is there in life, really, of such significance? This momentary pause in which everything changes.”’

The main characters are pissing me off so so bad WOW

Aber dann, als wir uns zuprosteten, sah ich ihm in die Augen. Kristall an Kristall klang hell und klar über das Donnern der Brandung unter uns. Ich sagte: „Auf diejenigen, die zu den Sternen schauen und sich etwas wünschen, Rhys.“

Rhys stieß mit seinem Glas leicht gegen meins. „Auf die Sterne, die zuhören - und auf die Träume, die wahr werden.“ 🥺⭐️🌌
