“When it comes to relationships, I have only one rule: give me truth, however cold or cruel or hard it is to hear. I would rather have my heart broken if it means I can then release the hurt and move on, than waste a single moment of my time being fooled by a lie intended to preserve my feelings.”

“A soulmate is a meeting of mind, spirit and body with someone whose strengths, flaws and energy perfectly complement your own. It is steady ground, a shelter in a storm, a point on a map when you are wayward and lost–the promise of a place to come home to for as long as you are here in the world.”

“The most important thing you will ever do in your life is learn to embrace your unique, honest self. A boundless, infinitely populated universe and there is nothing else here quite like you. This is your power. All those things that make you strange and different are what make you irreplaceable.”

“I am not afraid of an argument. Get emotional. Get angry. Spit language venom. Be unrelenting and cruel with your words if you feel you have to be. Because above all else I am terrified of the silence. Of things becoming so passionless between us there is no longer anything left worth fighting for.”

“I need to move around a bit. To shuffle my surroundings. To wake up in cities I don’t know my way around and have conversations in languages I cannot entirely comprehend. There is always this tremendous longing in my heart to be lost, to be someplace else, to be far far away from all of this.”

“Remember always to move at your own pace. When you attempt to hurry yourself through a loss you don’t escape the grief, you bury it, and one day it will find a way back to the surface. Only you can know the distance of your healing and only you can know when you have arrived.”

“I don’t do detached. I won’t play hard to get or act cool for the sake of appearing elusive. If I like you, I’m all in. If you have my attention, then it’s because I genuinely care for you. But hurt me and, without even thinking twice, I will burn that bridge and never look back.”
— Beau Taplin, Bloom

“Often, when we have a crush, when we lust for a person, we see only a small percentage of who they really are. The rest we make up for ourselves. Rather than listen, or learn, we smother them in who we imagine them to be, what we desire for ourselves, we create little fantasies of people and let them grow in our hearts. And this is where the relationship fails. In time, the fiction we scribble onto a person falls away, the lies we tell ourselves unravel and soon the person standing in front of you is almost unrecognizable, you are now complete strangers in your own love. And what a terrible shame it is. My advice: pay attention to the small details of people, you will learn that the universe is far more spectacular an author than we could ever hope to be.”

“I believe what so many of us call compromise is more like consented confinement — a shared, illogical fear that if we don’t enforce a strict set of restrictions on each other we will inevitably lose one another to something more thrilling. That is not what I want for us. I will never ask you to sacrifice a thing in exchange for my heart. And if you ever feel the need to spread your wings, I will gently let you go.”

“One day, whether you 
 are 14, 28 
 or 65 

you will stumble upon 
someone who will start 
a fire in you that cannot die. 

However, the saddest, 
 most awful truth 
 you will ever come to find–– 

 is they are not always 
with whom we spend our lives.”
