Mother says it's easy to fall in love but hard to love, and that they are two largely different things. She said she never fell in love with me; she just loved me, and I understood exactly why a mother's love persists in all the places where others subside.

I stumbled upon you by accident and now, with a minute and half, I love you?
Your words are what I will look for in everyone from now on to stumble across love.
Thank you so much for writing this! This means a lot. Wish you a great day/night ahead <3
And as you dive deeper into love you get to know how standing by someone is far more consequential than falling for them.

Darling, when you look at the moon or count the stars in the night sky, notice the gentle breeze fluttering your hair, the raindrops pattering on the rooftop, or relish the redolent aromas invading your nostrils, do these simple instances not tell you that you can still love things desperately even if you don't own them? That there can be love beyond possession, intervals, and distances—a love that assures that even if we cease to belong to each other, we can still come back as the moon, the stars, the breeze, the raindrops, the aromas and exist to be loved desperately by one another without the apprehension of losing.

My mother always says, "If ever you feel like life's way too unfair to you know that even one as this is a far-flung dream for millions".

What made me fall for fall is that it revealed the only ways to romanticize letting go. 🍁

Don't fall for someone who won't pull you up.

They misconstrued my softness as weakness, perhaps oblivious that even the softest of waters can burn, break, cut and freeze people to death.

We aren't afraid to suffer; we're scared of suffering alone.

To be criticised demands far more talent than to criticise someone else.
