"Realistically, I know I won’t feel this way forever. I won’t be hung up on you for the rest of my life. One day, our lives will stop intersecting on a regular basis. It will be hard at first. For awhile, you be the last thing I think about before I fall asleep and the first thing on my mind in the morning. I’ll keep a tally of how many days it’s been since I’ve see you and it will hurt more every day. I’ll dream about you every night until I don’t think I can stand waking up missing you anymore. Then it won’t be every night, and somehow that will be worse because it will be like I lost you all over again. But eventually, I won’t notice when I’ve gone a day or two without thinking about you and there will be someone else who makes me feel something. Still, a year later, when our paths cross again and you smile exactly like you used to and ask me how I’ve been, my heart will speed up and I’ll struggle for words. And for a few days after, I’ll wonder why things couldn’t have been different. But in that moment, I’ll just smile back and say that it’s nice to see you again. You’ll say it, too, and I won’t know if you mean it or if you were just being polite, but it’s a five minute conversation and I won’t dwell on it too much. I did enough dwelling on you already."

"At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy, that’s how we’re made. So you can waste your life drawing lines or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross. Here’s what I know. If you’re willing to throw caution to the wind and take a chance, the view from the other side… is spectacular."

"If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: We all want everything to be okay. We don’t even wish so much for fantastic or marvelous or outstanding. We will happily settle for okay, because most of the time, okay is enough."
