Random Ramblings of a Big Dreamer

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."

"Loneliness leads to nothing good, only detachment. And sometimes the people who most need to reach out are the people least capable of it."

"It hurts to let go. Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold on to something, or someone, the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt, for having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you, because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small because it’s so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesn’t come back. You’re left so alone that you can’t explain. Damn, there’s nothing like that, is there? I’ve been there and you have too. You’re nodding your head."

"I think I love him, but I also think that you can love people who aren’t good for you."

"What is more humiliating than finding the object of your love unworthy?"

"He wanted to draw out the moment before the moment—because as good as kissing feels, nothing feels as good as the anticipation of it."

"It’s one thing to fall in love. It’s another to feel someone else falling in love with you."

"The trick of it, she told herself, is to be courageous and bold and make a difference. Not change the world exactly, just the bit around you."

"And I began to let him go. Hour by hour. Days into months. It was a physical sensation, like letting out the string of a kite. Except that the string was coming from my centre."

"Just marry your conscience. Marry the one who makes you want to be a better person."
