I am half afraid to hope for what I long for.
Emily Dickinson
By your side I am most quite and most unquite, most inhibited and most free.
Franz Kafka
Well, let it pass; April is over, April is over. There are all kinds of love in the world, but never the same love twice.
~F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Sensible Thing
"I knew that someday you would find me. I waited for you, calmly, with boundless impatience. Consume me."
~Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959), Alain Resnais
His heart was nothing but a drought land, and she came like a rainstorm.
"Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are a bourbon biscuit.”
~ Frida Kahlo
Healing taught me that honesty wouldn't ruin a real thing. Speaking about your feelings won't lose you anything worth having. Setting boundaries won't scare off proper people. & authenticity won't cost you genuine relationships.
I'd rather sit in silence with you than have thousands of conversations with other people.
When Tahseen Anam said,
" And we fall for those who are not even there to hold us"
I felt it through and through.
