together glue needs
sometimes we need all the glue we can get, just to hold ourselves together.
silence important conversation
Sighs and silences and avoided conversations are just as important as the things you do talk about.
stories ordinary persons
Every single ordinary person has an extraordinary story.
echoes empty empty-words
Empty words almost echo within themselves
facts ever-after happily-ever-after
Is not where I live happily ever after, or who with. It's the fact that I live happily ever after.
falling-in-love heart moon
Don't be afraid to fall in love again. Open your heart and follow where it leads you...and remember, shoot for the moon.
strong hurt fall
There’s something completely unnerving about seeing your parents upset. I suppose it’s because they’re supposed to be the strong ones, but that’s not just it. Ever since people are kids they use their parents as some sort of measurement for how bad a situation is. When you fall on the ground really hard and you can’t figure out whether it hurts or not you look to your parents. If they look worried and rush toward you, you cry. If they laugh and smack the ground saying “Bold ground,” then you pick yourself up and get on with it.
liars night thinking
It’s hard for everyone isn’t it? Anyone who says it’s easy is a liar. There’s this huge divide between me and Alex right now because I feel like we’re living in such different worlds, I don’t know what to talk about with him anymore. And we used to be able to talk all night. He phones once a week and I listen to what he’s been up to during the week and try to bite my tongue every time I go into another Katie story. Truth is I have nothing other to talk about but her and I know it bores people. I think I used to be interesting once upon a time.
heart giving mind
That was all part of giving someone a piece of your heart; they ended up taking a whole chunk of your mind and reserving it all for themselves.
moving somewhere-else one-thing
Everything in life has a place, and when one thing moves, it must go somewhere else.
love-is miserable rosie
Every small thing grows when you nurture it, Rosie. Love is just the same. But if that is making you miserable then, leave and find something else that brings you happiness you deserve to feel.
wall lying people
The more you try to simplify things the more you complicate them. You create rules, build walls, push people away, lie to yourself and ignore true feelings. That is not simplifying things.
feelings
Love was one of those feelings that you could never control.
lonely couple cutting
We have a long way to go to being the perfect couple, we certainly don’t live the fairy tale marriage, he doesn’t shower me with rose petals and fly me to Paris on weekends but when I get my hair cut, he notices. When I dress up to go out at night, he compliments me. When I cry, he wipes my tears. When I feel lonely, he makes me feel loved. And who needs Paris, when you can get a hug?
