“There’s a Japanese phrase that I like: koi no yokan. It doesn’t mean love at first sight. It’s closer to love at second sight. It’s the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don’t love them right away, but it’s inevitable that you will.”

— Nicola Yoon, The Sun is Also a Star (via youngadultquoted)

“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.”

“1. Your skin may never be perfect, and that’s okay. 2. Life is too short not to have the underwear, the coffee, and the haircut you want. 3. Everyone (including your family, your coworkers, and your best friend) will talk about you behind your back, and you’ll talk about them too. It doesn’t mean you don’t love each other. 4. It’s okay to spend money on things that make you happy. 5. Sometimes without fault or reason, relationships deteriorate. It will happen when you’re six, it will happen when you’re sixty. That’s life.”

It was exhausting, the way you kept dragging me through your mess. All your back and forth, your mixed up emotions, your complete inability to ever know exactly what you want, and being completely ignorant to who you hurt - it was just too much. Loving you was tiring and even through all that, when you finally decided what you wanted, it wasn’t me. Now you want to know if we’re okay, but how do you think that made me feel?

“We were just friends that hooked up every time we saw each other. We never went into details. I never told you that I wanted anything. You never told me that you wanted anything. We just talked about the old flings we had and we laughed. We talked about how you loved mountains but I loved skyscrapers. Sometimes we were silly and played 21 questions at 12am while we sat in your car. I never thought too much about it when you asked me what I wanted in a soulmate. I answered and you laughed and then I asked you another stupid question. We were just friends that hooked up every time we saw each other. I never really thought of you as anything. But it took a few months and distance and another girl taking you away from me for me to realize that you weren’t just another friend I wanted to hook up with.”

I don’t know what you’re thinking, but you do - and if you’re thinking you don’t want this or me, then please go. I don’t need you to stay because you think I’ll be hurt if you leave. I’ll be okay. If you don’t want to hold on, then let go.

It’s funny how some feelings never go away. It’s easy to bottle them up and pretend they aren’t there. Sometimes enough time goes by that you actually think they’re gone - but when you walked into the room last night, everything spilled out. It was like you never left, like nothing between us ever changed, and I still loved you.

a gentle reminder that you did well this year. you met new people, learned new things and felt new feelings. you did so many things that made you scared. you picked yourself up off the floor after feeling completely defeated or heartbroken. there were some really tough nights but you survived them all. you made people happy just by existing. you accepted many goodbyes but the serendipitous meetings made up for them. it was your own hard work that paid off but you always downplay it or compare yourself to others. that’s not fair on yourself. you’ve come so far from the first day of this year. you have more wisdom and strength now. yes, other people seem more “successful” but does that even matter? please don’t think so lowly of yourself to only think about your failures. 2018 was your year of growth. I hope you take a moment to be kind to yourself, and believe that 2019 will be even better.
