Lore De Silvestri R.’s Reviews > A Novel Love Story > Status Update

“things weren't perfect, and endings weren't always happy, but it wasn't always the destination that mattered. (…) it wasn’t the end that mattered, but every word leading up to it.“

“Maybe, in some stories, the ending didn’t matter as much as the journey. It was a romance, after all.
They all had happy endings eventually.“

“because nothing could ever stay in stasis. Nothing ever stopped. Nothing was permanent. Art lived and breathed, like love, like friendship.
Life—like works of art—was transformative.
It persisted.
And through them, so did we.”

“Because even after the people were gone, there were still stories. There were always stories.”

“You’re allowed to be cared for, too. You don’t have to do everything alone.” 😭😭♥️

“I l lost myself in the process. And lost what I really wanted-a partner, not someone I had to take care of.”

“Time changes you. Stories change you. The people you meet change you. I’m simply not the same man that I was before.”

“Not all love happens at first glance- sometimes, it takes a reread at the exact right (or wrong) time in your life. And sometimes, it takes a little help from your friends.” ♥️
