“The Darker The Night, The Brighter The Stars. The Deeper The Grief, The Closer Is God.”

First and last time. 😌

I didn't fall in love with you because I was lonely or lost, I fell in love with you because after getting to know you, I realized that I wanted to make you a permanent part of my world.

Sometimes, carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achivement.

Albert Camus

But it's true, you can fall in love with people's souls. With peoples gestures, hearts and morals. With people's smiles and with people's minds—without exchanging a single kiss. and without saying a single word.

r. m. drake

In giving kindness, one finds healing; in expressing gratitude, they discover their strength.
