They looked perfect together, like somehow, they were always meant to find each other. That’s the way life went sometimes. You suffer and you heal and you love. You find people who have been waiting their whole lives to meet you. You soak in every moment you can, taking in every drop of joy life gifts you. You live and you live until you can’t anymore.

“ When you fall in love that young, being in love is enough to warm every corner of your world. But then you get older, and grow wiser, and suddenly you want more. You want more than love and you feel selfish for even asking. You want someone who pushes you, someone who inspires you. Someone whose capacity would take a lifetime to explore.”

“ Life moves on, and love doesn’t go away. Sometimes the only thing you have to show for it is how much you’ve changed yourself.”

“ Loving a dog is proof alone that actions speak louder than words. You exist together, a back and forth, a give and take, as fluid and reliable as the land a wave along a shoreline. You sleep together, eat together, walk together, love together, and your commitment to each other never has to be stated. It just is.”

“Hard things happen to make the good moments even better, a shining light to lift the darkest shadows.”

“I think people expect my foster dog experience to have been perfect too. But the truth is that both were with cute, needy boys who I secretly couldn’t wait to get rid of.” Hahahaha
