Kindle Notes & Highlights
I will love you even if we don’t end up together. Even if you walk away from me, I will still love you. I will love you even if you marry someone else and on the coldest days of the year you spend your nights wishing you had married me after all, because no one knows how to ignite the fire in your soul quite the way I do.
I hope you find someone who never makes you question your own self-worth. I hope you find someone who chases your happiness as much as their own.

And I count all the days you say I love you and I die on the days you don’t. Thinking maybe you might leave and praying that you won’t.

Change is not going to sit you down and ask if you are ready. Change is not going to knock on your door and hand you notice. Change is not going to hug you in the middle of the night and tell you it can wait. Change does not wait. Change doesn’t care if you aren’t ready. It will happen anyway.

Why are all the flowers gone? I have looked for them everywhere In the garden and along the street In my bedroom and behind Grandma’s chair But the flowers are nowhere to be seen Why are all the flowers gone? Have we done something wrong? Do we no longer act on what we mean? Do we no longer care enough To write about flowers in our songs? Why are all the flowers gone?
Make a list. Write down the most important things. I will give you the first: You.
