Each cigarette was individually emptied and refilled with soil and forget-me-not seeds.

“you’re like a disease and i can’t seem to get rid of you”

“I hope you find yourself out there. I hope you figure out your heart. I hope you figure out your mind. I hope you learn how to be kind to yourself. How to embrace the journey you are on. I hope you learn to be proud of the person you are becoming. I hope you learn to be proud of where you are - even if it isn’t exactly where you want to be.”

“We never thought we’d get this far, but here we are.”

“Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts,rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt.”

“They say searching for love is like searching for yourself, when you find yourself you find love because they are the same.”
