"Have patience with everything that remains unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language."

"So say yes. To coffee in the morning. Or tea. When he asks you for a second time, after you’ve already said no, you should be getting home, please just say yes. It may amount to nothing. It may be just what it is, a cup of coffee or a cup of tea. Or it may be the beginning of everything. Say yes to the shower offered. Say yes to a man’s fumbling attempt at kindness. Say yes to saying what you’re afraid to say. Say yes to being bold and appearing uncool and revealing just how deep you’re in it. Say yes to the full power of your femininity–to the full extent with which you’re capable of love. Let him pull you in close and nestle in the slope of his neck. Kiss him that second time even if he’s already late and rushing out that door. Make him a little bit later. Say yes to what is so damn pregnant with potential that it utterly terrifies you. Say yes to anything that might count as experience or adventure–even if the adventure at hand is navigating the long, grueling road of heartbreak. Say yes to letting the guy help you get the dresser in the apartment–self-suffiencieny don’t make you more of a woman and it doesn’t protect you from the good, the bad, the ugly. Accept love when you want to accept it, accept help when you can, and accept that it’ll be the second photo–the one you didn’t plan for–that’ll give a certain shape and meaning to everything that comes after."

"

I was so good at seeming fine. Seeming detached. As though the thing between us wasn’t terribly important. As though he himself wasn’t terribly important and never was there a thing more untrue.

If I could go back, if I could do it again, I’d look at him as myself–as my totally naked and in-love self. I’d look at him with all that I felt and all that I could not say.

"I need words that mean more than they mean, words not just with height and width, but depth and weight and, and other dimensions that I cannot even name."
Lois McMaster BujoLd
"Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions."
Susan Cain
"Try not to confuse attachment with love. Attachment is about fear and dependency, and has more to do with love of self than love of another. Love without attachment is the purest love because it isn’t about what others can give you because you’re empty. It is about what you can give others because you’re already full."
