"You make lists in your head about what you want in a lover, like brown hair and a sweet voice. A sharp mind and a soft heart, a sense of humor that actually makes you laugh like you mean it. This and that. And it’s all bullshit. Because people aren’t lists. And I’ve always wanted to be the person who made someone realize that. I want to come across someone with a list in their head that is nothing like the person I am, and I want to show them what they didn’t even know they were looking for. People who think they know what they want are fooling themselves. Nobody really knows what they want.
Not until it’s right in front of them."

"If you care about someone, choose them. Choose them every single day. Make time for them, listen to their worries, pay attention to their needs and their wishes. Talk to them - not only when it’s easy, but especially when it’s difficult. When life gets in the way and when everything around you seems to come crumbling down, show them that you will stay at their side and be there to pick up the pieces. Don’t just text them when you’re bored, don’t tell them what they mean to you without backing up your words with actions. Don’t make empty promises - do it. Prove you’ll be there. Show them. Choose them. And watch them choose you too. And if they don’t, you’ll let them go. Because really, love, you deserve nothing less than a person who’d drop everything just to see you. So don’t settle for less."

"Healing is when you become something else, something better, and not something you were before."

"I’m that person who falls apart but tries to keep everyone else together."

"I want to have experiences. I’m so tired of preparing for life: I want to live it now."
