I was stepping off the path, away from the safe and comfortable and known, and that was the scariest thing of all.
Love is scary: it changes; it can go away. That's the part of the risk. I don't want to be scared anymore.
True love isn't easy, but it must be fought for because once you find it, it can never be replaced.
Sometimes it’s the same moments that take your breath away that breathe purpose and love back into your life.
You have to stop running scared, Isla. Someday, you're going to have to take a leap of faith.
Love can't be explained. It can only be felt and experienced.
Every moment we’d spent together, even those filled with anxiety and fear, had been perfect, too.
I’m not sure anyone knows what they’re looking for until they find it.
The best love is unexpected. You don't just pick someone and cross your fingers it’ll work out.
Sometimes the right path isn't the easiest one.
Love is hard, and it’s scary, and it’s a goddamn mess. But it’s worth it. It’s worth every fight.
The more you know who you are, and what you want, the less you let things upset you.
