Shoo. Away with you. It’s my fault for expecting the extraordinary from the ordinary.

Is it me you’re describing, or yourself?

When he comes for her, it’s only in her dreams where she has no control, no way to shut the door, and nowhere to run. That’s when she listens.

I have a deep appreciation for anything that challenges my morality. I tend to wonder which thing or person might overpower my beliefs and would I avoid it altogether in order to say, “It didn’t...

Don’t focus on her hiss. Remember her purr.

I didn’t sleep well last night because one of my ghosts came back, haunting with his presence, and when I woke up, the others weren’t here, haunting with their memory.

Leaving the familiar for unknown terrain is like a death – and feeling this level of finality should snap one back to life for life has greater meaning in the face of death.

Enchantment and fulfillment were on the gold and garnet horizon – autumn’s breath, a dormant dream reawakened, a yearning nearly satiated, a tender thank you with a brush of the lips, and a connection as...

If they don’t walk away, we have to walk away, and sometimes we do it crying.

No, we aren’t civilized, even in our business suits and high heels. People are as mean as ever, and as predictable. Underneath it all, we are not so different from what lurks in the wild,...

You may want the alpha, but the alpha has his pick.

Lovers are easy to find and easy to forget but finding an authentic connection is exceptional and limited. It rarely happens, which is why there are so many unhappy people out there.

Why do you think you deserve happily ever after? You were offered it before and tossed it away.

You see it everywhere and everyone seems to be doing it but you. You could have had it as well, and you know it, and that’s what bothers you. Your worst enemy is yourself, and...

She was told it was magnetism that kept them engaged, and how do you separate magnets? You force them apart.

She may be crazy but at least she isn’t you.

The most beautiful women I have known had one thing in common apart from beauty: humility. It’s a shame that those with less to boast about do it the most.

I think I figured out why I don’t have more friends. I find dead people more interesting than the living.

Strangers were a fairytale full of possibilities not yet corrupted by reality while caregivers were the reality – and everything that couldn’t be counted upon.

Fighting is easier than loving, just as giving in to anger is easier than self-control.

You love the word love but you don’t really love and you don’t want to love because love, which is really sacrifice, would prevent you from doing what you want to do.

Which is worse? Loving someone and not being able to be with them or not loving someone and having to be with them.

Never ignore the elephant in the room. That’s rude; play with it and introduce it.

Not only are the poorest people the most generous but they don’t expect anything in return, least of all recognition from others by means of showing off or posting a humble brag like so many...

Why is it you tell me the truth only when you’ve fallen asleep? It’s then that you visit me.

Only cowards cave. The brave get assassinated.

There’s the good girl leading a charmed life who secretly covets to be the rare and elusive femme fatale and the femme fatale who yearns to be good and then there is their nemesis –...

In our lives are special moments that live as their own, the rest is movement with the passage of time.

What an ambiance, and such a pity I’m alone: Candles giving off their glow, gusts of wind and the light tapping of rain on the windowpane – a massage for the mind. And a comforting...

If you have to speculate if someone loves you and wants to be with you, chances are they don’t. It’s not that complicated. Love, in most cases, betrays the one feeling it. Don’t waste moments...

People give up on each other long before they give up on themselves, and they do that, too.

Apathy. What’s hard to understand? They don’t care. Not until it affects them.

When it comes to men, I appreciate them, don’t bash them and never love them.

Do you keep silent to keep a friendship or do you try to lend your support unconditionally, even if what they are doing goes against everything you believe in? Will it be principles over friendship,...

She had hope in her heart but after a while, with each step forward, hope stepped back. And for the first time in months, the first time ever, she began to weep, and as she...

Some people live their lives being perpetual victims and finger pointers. To anyone who points a finger at someone else and lays all the blame at their feet instead of taking responsibility for their own...

You will know who the enemy is intimidated by because they’re the ones he targets and keeps beating down.

A relationship, of any kind, requires two. Some people want it all and expect it all, always looking outward, so often saying what they deserve, even more saying what they want, and all thinking another...

You can’t be in my world…You live in this one.

You’re sad but you hold everything back…

All the bruised lives, searching hearts…Everyone wants a love story but few will risk what it takes to live one.

I know you’re there. I can detect your presence each time it closes in on mine.

I’m not opposed to aging – even though society is kinder on men than women when it comes to getting old. How can I look at aging as the enemy? It happens whether I like...

I didn’t intend to go in that direction but strange things happen when the lights go out.

Envy, as distasteful as it is, has seeped into my mind on rare occasions, and those I’ve envied, although few in number, have only been those that live a life of leisure with peace of...

I don’t admire the person who does what they want to do. I admire the person who does what they’re afraid to do.

Known for leaving, she asked me who I would consider sticking around for. I said, “The one who asked me to and meant it.

I am sick of old ghosts and I just want to feel safe again without the haunts of old vulnerabilities.

You may wish to capture a wild thing as you covet their unbreakable spirit, but as much as you may wish to tame a wild thing, a wild thing, who may grow to love you,...

You’ve invaded my mind and I can’t get you out of it,” he accused with discernible disdain. She avoided looking at him and said, “Then you should forget.” “Forget?” he thundered,”EVERYTHING reminds me of you!”...
