- "don't let someone's emotional inconsistency make you addicted to temporary highs." and when we say temporary highs, we mean the ones that exist only to compensate the lows. it shouldn't be like that. consistent highs don't mean they're happening all the time. it means they are significant enough to leave no doubts on your emotions. i know it's hard to believe healthy love exists but please don't give it up just yet. <3

- A Bookmark Near the End He loves history. He wanted to write a biography of John Quincy Adams. I, shamefully, knew almost nothing about John Quincy Adams, so I went online and bought every biography of him I could find. One day, he called me, claiming that we wouldn’t work out long term. He said he loved me but that we had different interests. “What does love mean to you?” I said. “That’s an impossible question,” he replied. I, however, find love to be quite simple. Love is the stack of biographies on my nightstand with a bookmark near the end. — Julia Nicole Camp
- Open Water “You’re like a pair of jazz musicians, forever improvising. Or perhaps you are not musicians but your love manifests in the music. Sometimes, your head tucked into her neck, you can feel her heartbeat thudding like a kick drum. Your smile a grand piano, the glint in her eye like the twinkle of hands caressing ivory keys. The rhythmic strum of a double bass the inert grace she has been blessed with, moving her body in ways which astound. A pair of soloists in conversations so harmonious, one struggles to separate.” — Caleb Azumah Nelson
