Your body is more than just a graveyard for those who could not love it. Your heart is more than just a cemetery for those who disappeared.

I'm sexually attracted to all the red flags you're giving off. Please ruin my life

At what speed must I live...to be able to see you again..?"

- Takaki Toono

We have all fallen for temporary people

We don’t need to curse and resent and forget the people life didn’t let us hold onto. We don’t have to rid ourselves of their impressions and shelter ourselves from their impact. We’re allowed to let them in. We’re allowed to let them matter. We’re allowed to engage in the temporary foolishness of falling for someone who is not going to be left holding our crippled, wrinkled hand fifty years down the road. Because some people simply are not meant to stay forever.

I love you. I can’t remember when I fell in love with you but very naturally, I had fallen in love with you before I knew it.

The things I had to tell him...The things I hoped he would listen to...There were so many of them.

“Over the past few years, I’ve wanted to move on, I’ve wanted to take hold of something I couldn’t reach. What that is, I have no idea.”

Makoto Shinkai

I wonder when I got into the habit of writing messages to nobody.

I'm doing just fine now it's over. I've been moving on and living my life but occasionally I lose composure and I can't get you out of my mind

I’m texting you this because I’m glad I met you. Because before you came along things were okay but something about you injected color into my world and I don’t want it to fade out just yet. Because you reminded me that something as simple as human interaction could change a shitty day into a good one and a bland thought into a fascinating argument and you make me feel like I’ve had ten hours of sleep and a coffee even when I’m exhausted straight through to the bones. I’m texting you because the rhythm of your mind has gotten stuck inside of mine and I would like it to stay there for a while.

We have all fallen for temporary people. Because love doesn’t need to last forever in order to make a lasting impression.

- How To Love Someone You Cannot Hold Onto, Heidi Priebe

We have all fallen for temporary people. They come as swiftly as they go from our lives; with their reeling minds and striking bodies and genuine, wide-open hearts. They are hurricanes and madness and wrecking balls; they’re sunshine and blissful surrenders.

We are advised not to fall for these people. And yet we do, knowing full well we can’t keep them. How could we not, after all?

- How To Love Someone You Cannot Hold Onto, Heidi Priebe

We lose something we love and it seems natural to try to reconstruct it – mulling over memories, sorting through missteps, bleeding our expired hopes and habits onto paper, hoping some part of what we’ve loved will still be salvageable.

One day you’ll wake up and you won’t be haunted by the memories

- Rania Neim

In a world that seeks connection, we oddly avoid eye contact, we time our text responses in order to protect ourselves from seeming too eager or too interested, and we hold our feelings back because we don’t want to seem overly emotional or unreasonable. We silence our instincts, and at the end of the day instead of feel-ing good about ourselves, we feel alone, we feel mis-understood. Remember—it is okay to be emotional, to seek help, to confidently tell someone you enjoy be-ing around that you are infatuated with them. There is nothing wrong with vulnerability, with being human, for that is what creates depth within our relationships, and that is what ultimately unifies us.

-Bianca Sparacino

Words like "tomorrow" or "future" or "fate". No matter how far they extend their hands. We breathe, we dream, we raise our love. In a timeless land that is far out of reach

But I must admit I miss you quite terribly. The world is too quiet without you nearby.

— Lemony Snicket
