“I’m attracted to intelligence. Don’t get me wrong, a perfectly crafted body will certainly get my attention, but i’ll get bored with it. I always do. I need you to outsmart me. Make me feel like I could learn from you, grow with you. Do that and you can have me forever.”
— A.R. Lucas
“You never forget. It must be somewhere inside of you. Even if the brain has forgotten, perhaps the teeth remember. Or the fingers.”
— Neil Gaiman
“Be mindful. Be grateful. Be positive. Be true. Be kind.”
— Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
“When there’s a fresh wound in your heart, keep it open until it heals. Air it out. Understand it. Dive into it. Be fierce enough to become it. If you ignore it, it won’t be able to breath. If you ignore it, it will merely deepen, spread, and resurface later, wanting to release. And when later happens, it will hurt even more; because when later happens, you won’t know what you’re bleeding for … Remain open to feel free.”
— Victoria Erickson
“If they don’t know you personally, don’t take it personal.”
— Khleo Thomas
Do you ever just want to sit next to someone and just listen to whatever they say just because you like their general existence?
“When someone is going through a storm, your silent presence is more powerful than a million, empty words.”

“The moment I met you I knew it would be impossible for me not to fall for you. I don’t love you, I know that to be true. But I do like you. I really like you. If I let myself, and if you wanted me to, I know I could fall in love with you. I could dive headfirst into you without a second thought, take your hand in mine and never let go. I could stare into those eyes and listen to you talk forever, be the happiest girl in the world and spend the rest of my life laughing with you. I could fall head over heels, deeply, completely, madly in love with you. I don’t love you, but if you knocked on my door and took my hand, I know I could fall in love with you forever.”
— I don’t love you, at least not yet. But I could. // m.e.k.
