A love like yours is rare, and something like that doesn’t disappear over time.

Remember? I loved you first.

I think the part I’ve been saving for you died.

Some days, the hurt is screaming in my throat.

My friend is concerned & I wanna tell her not to be,
meaning, I’M FINE, I SWEAR!

If I don’t pet this dog, I am literally going to die.

Google inspirational quotes. Roll your eyes at all of them.

I go back to the coffee shop and make eyes at Grayson. He remembers my order. I want to faint.

So maybe it’s a little worse for wear and tear. Maybe it’s black and blue and not working quite the way it used to. Maybe it’s beating, but just barely.

We don’t always write about the people who flatter themselves thinking we do. We don’t always shine a spotlight on every story.

Defensiveness is just vulnerability in different clothing.

You’re not even disappointed when they cancel plans. Sometimes you’re relieved.
