“Nostalgia runs so deeply in my veins, that I’m not quite sure I’m ever living in the present. I’m always reminiscing of a time gone past, a moment already lived, a memory slightly forgotten. I’d wish on all my stars to live a couple moments twice, to love a person more, to smell a childhood home, to feel their touch again, to walk a familiar route. I spend so much time wishing that I could have been more present back then, that I don’t realise that I’m not being present right now.”

““We are torn between nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.””

Más recuerdo la magia que teniamos, más extraño la felicidad que parecia interminable.
Más son las ganas de buscarte y olvidar que me rompiste el corazón.
“Por primera vez en mi vida quiero que el tiempo se detenga, no quiero cumplir años, ni siquiera que se acabe la semana, siento que todo pasa tan rápido que no me alcanza la vida para realmente vivirla.”

It’s totally okay to say “you know what, this isn’t making me happy” and to walk away from whatever or whoever is keeping you from the happiness you deserve
Being able to find someone you click with so naturally is the best feeling ever. You feel like you’ve been best friends you’re whole life, it feels like you’re coming home. You’re so comfortable with them. Maybe that’s what a soulmate is. Not someone who shares every single thing in common with you, but someone who feels like home.
