The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be.
Nicholas Sparks, The NotebookĀ |Ā @thelovejournals (via thelovejournals)
I know Iām still young and thereās a lot of time for things to happen, but sometimes I think there is something about me thatās wrong, that Iām not the kind of person anyone can fall in love with, and that Iāll always just be alone.
Lynne Rae Perkins (via purplebuddhaquotes)
Never leave a friend behind. Friends are all we have to get us through this lifeāand they are the only things from this world that we could hope to see in the next.
Dean Koontz (via purplebuddhaquotes)
It isnāt possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.
E.M. Forster, A Room with a View (via thelovejournals)
I think some people are just inexplicably bonded. Drawn by forces beyond their own comprehension, they have no choice but to gravitate toward one another. Destined by fate to keep crossing paths until they finally get it right.
L.B. Simmons (via purplebuddhaquotes)
What if we had a chance to do it again and again, until we finally did get it right? Wouldnāt that be wonderful?
Kate Atkinson (via purplebuddhaquotes)
Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul, there is no such thing as separation.
Rumi (via thelovejournals)
A beautiful spirit lifts others near it.
Bruce Adler (via wnq-writers)
Remember that no matter where I am or what Iām doing Iāve got a special place inside me thatās all for you. Itās been there since the day we met.
Sara Zarr (via purplebuddhaquotes)
I am different. And I donāt understand exactly how. And I donāt understand just why.
Ellen Hopkins (via purplebuddhaquotes)
I love being horribly straightforward. I love sending reckless text messages (because how reckless can a form of digitized communication be?) and telling people I love them and telling people they are absolutely magical humans and I cannot believe they really exist. I love saying, Kiss me harder, and Youāre a good person, and, You brighten my day. I live my life as straight-forward as possible. Because one day, I might get hit by a bus. Maybe itās weird. Maybe itās scary. Maybe it seems downright impossible to just beāto just let people know you want them, need them, feel like, in this very moment, you will die if you do not see them, hold them, touch them in some way whether its your feet on their thighs on the couch or your tongue in their mouth or your heart in their hands. But there is nothing more beautiful than being desperate. And there is nothing more risky than pretending not to care. We are young and we are human and we are beautiful and we are not as in control as we think we are. We never know who needs us back. We never know the magic that can arise between ourselves and other humans. We never know when the bus is coming.

Itās not just a feelingāitās an emotion that causes action
It is time to change the meaning of the wordĀ
ālove.ā
The word is mostly used according to the first definition given in the dictionary:Ā
āan intense feeling of deep affection.āĀ
In other words, love is what one feels.
After years spent speaking with couples before, during and after marriage; and of talking to parents and children struggling with their relationships, I am convinced of the partiality of the definition.Ā
Love should be seen not as a feeling but as an enacted emotion. To love is to feel and act lovingly.
Too many women have told me, bruises visible on their faces, that the husbands who struck them love them. Since they see love as a feeling, the word hides the truth, which is that you do not love someone whom you repeatedly beat and abuse. You may have very strong feelings about them, you may even believe you cannot live without them, but you do not love them.
The first love mentioned in the Bible is not romantic love, but parental love (Genesis 22). When a child is born, the parentās reaction to this person, who so recently did not exist, is to feel thatĀ
āI would do anything for her.āĀ
In the doing is the loveāthe feeling is enacted. That is why we often hear the phraseĀ
āyou donāt act like you love me.āĀ
We know in our bones that love is not a feeling alone, but a feeling that flows into the world in action.
Between human beings, love is a relational word. Yes, you can love things that do not love you backāthe sky or a mountain or a painting or the game of chess. But the love of other people is directional. There is a lover and a belovedāyou donāt just love, but you love at someone. And real love is not only about the feelings of the lover; it is not egotism. It is when one person believes in another person and shows it.
In Fiddler on the Roof, when Tevye asks Golde whether she loves him after a quarter century of marriage, her wry answer is exactly on point:
For twenty-five years Iāve washed your clothes Cooked your meals, cleaned the house Given you children, milked your cow She asks then,Ā
āIf thatās not love, what is?ā
Of course it is possible to perform all sorts of duties for someone and feel little or nothing for them.Ā
Love is not about being hired help. Love is not an obligation done with a cold soul. But neither is it a passion that expresses itself in cruelty, or one that does not express itself at all. The feeling must be wedded to the deed.
We would have a healthier conception of love if we understood that love, like parenting or friendship, is a feeling that expresses itself in action. What we really feel is reflected in what we do.Ā
The poetās song is dazzling and the passion powerful, but the deepest beauty of love is how it changes lives.

(via thelovejournals)
There is the great lesson of āBeauty and the Beast,ā that a thing must be loved before it is lovable.
G.K. Chesterton (via thelovejournals)
Itās hard to trust, when your hearts been broken times before. You pull the curtains and you lock the doors, swear youāll never go out anymore.
Matthew Perryman Jones

To whoever loves me next, Iām sorry if Iām afraid of you or if days of flirting turn to radio silence, without warning. Iām sorry if I make you say the words over and over and over until I believe them. (Iām sorry if I donāt believe them.) I will probably spend more time worrying about losing you than I spend trying to keep you. Trouble is, every single time Iāve ever thought something was too good to be trueā Iāve been right. Understand, I will know how to be vulnerable with you, but I wonāt know how not to regret it. And I have no idea how deep weāll be into this relationship before I admit Iāve never done this before. Not really. Not in any way that counts. Before I admit that I know how to put my body inside someone elseās but not how to make it beautiful. I probably wonāt be easy to love. Too many people loved me badly, Iām not sure I know how to do it right.
