“Do you know what it’s like to like someone so much you can’t stand it and know that they’ll never feel the same way?”
― To All the Boys I've Loved Before

“The hardest part of letting go is the "uncertainty"--when you are afraid that the moment you let go of someone you will hate yourself when you find out how close you were to winning their affection. Every time you give yourself hope you steal away a part of your time, happiness and future. However, once in a while you wake up to this realization and you have to hold on tightly to this truth because your heart will tear away the foundation of your logic, by making excuses for why this person doesn't try as much as you. The truth is this: Real love is simple. We are the ones that make it complicated. A part of disconnecting is recognizing the difference between being desired and being valued. When someone loves you they will never keep you waiting, give their attention and affection away to others, allow you to continue hurting, or ignore what you have gone through for them. On the other hand, a person that desires you can't see your pain, only what they can get from you with minimal effort in return. They let you risk everything, while they guard their heart and reap the benefits of your feelings. We make so many excuses for the people we fall in love with and they make up even more to remain one foot in the door. However, the truth is God didn't create you to be treated as an option or to be disrespected repeatedly. He wants you to close the door. If someone loves you and wants to be in your life no obstacle will keep them from you. Remember, you are royalty, not a beggar.”

“Do you want to know why you don't meet my standards?" he asked.
She shook her head in mortification.
"Too late," he replied. "Here's my most important rule: Never have intercourse when one of the parties is in love with the other. It won't end well."
She gasped. "You arrogant cad! I'm not in love with you."
"I know." He didn't look away from her. "Isn't that what I said? Only one of us is in love, and it isn't you."
Violet stared at him. Her ears appeared to be working; her brain seemed to function. Tentatively, she added two and three and verified that they still made five.”

“we met one strange summer
in a regular tangle of sticky webs
you had the air of angels sweet but I--
drowned with the damned spirits
in lava oceans fearing your--
foreign static frequency
and grey-green eyes
(I swear they are even if you--
think otherwise): storms
calm ones, calmer than my--
raging coals, empty and dead
you speak of souls like you believe
always an optimist in pessimistic
skin of ivory and titanium mesh...”

“Any relationship (friend, romantic or business) that's one sided isn't one; it's a one way street headed in one direction... nowhere. Cultivation requires input from willing participants.”

“Never forget we live in a reality where someone can be having an ongoing imaginary conflict with you in their mind. The whole time it’s completely one-sided and you are utterly oblivious to it.”

“If anyone had ever dared to suggest to Rosamund that Matthew Lovelace and Aubrey Blithman had anything in common, she would have dismissed them with sharp words for having the temerity to compare chocolate to bilge water.”

“Even as his affection for me remained assumed and confined to his head (If Any), his persistent skepticism regarding my efforts to express love always left me questioning where I fell short.”
