Beau Taplin QUOTES

1 " Self love is an ocean
and your heart is a vessel. Make it full,
and any excess will spill over
into the lives of the people
you hold dear. But you must come first. "

― Beau Taplin

2 " Some people are magic, and others are just the illusion of it. "

― Beau Taplin

3 " Hearts aren't handcuffs and people aren't prisons. When you feel it's time for you to leave, you leave. You neither need to wait to be released, nor ask for permission. "

― Beau Taplin

4 " The act of you leaving was just the full stop at the end of a terrible sentence. Fact is, I lost you long before you ever left. "

― Beau Taplin , Buried Light

5 " I learned much too late
that what you called love
was nothing but a
desperate and irrational
fear of a life lived alone. "

― Beau Taplin

6 " In the night, I am kept awake by the endless chatter of my inner self. I hear it speak softly of old hurts and fondly of past loves, while its demands and anxieties resound throughout me in multitudes.
I could be calm and composed all day long, but the moment it is dark, my mind riots. "

― Beau Taplin

7 " I cannot stand the words Get over it. All of us are under such pressure to put our problems in the past tense. Slow down. Don’t allow others to hurry your healing. It is a process, one that may take years, occasionally, even a lifetime — and that’s OK. "

― Beau Taplin

8 " No, I do not want to be loved unconditionally. I want to be shown when I am treating you less than you deserve. I want you to leave if I ever start making you promises I do not see through. Love me for my flaws, yes, but don’t you dare ever allow them to hurt you. "

― Beau Taplin

9 " Kiss me until I forget how terrified I am of everything wrong with my life. "

― Beau Taplin

10 " I am deathly afraid of almosts. Of coming so very close to where I want to be in life that I can almost taste it, almost touch it, then falling just a little short. "

― Beau Taplin

11 " While maturity may bring you wisdom and strength, it is the playful, curious child in you that makes the world magic, that makes a life enchanting and worth living at all. "

― Beau Taplin , Here at Dawn

12 " Some goodbyes are not ends but releases. "

― Beau Taplin

13 " I never wanted a quiet, sensible sort of love. I wanted to be devoured. "

― Beau Taplin

14 " It's interesting to note that the most kind and courageous souls you meet in life tend to be those who've faced the most cruelty and conflict. This vicious world might sharpen us like a blade, but whether we use that power to protect people or cause them pain is always our choice. "

― Beau Taplin

15 " The difference between an ordinary life and an extraordinary life is only a matter of perspective. Pull the blinds. Look around you. It is a mad, mad world and you do not require ten digit bank accounts to immerse yourself in it. Travel down dusty roads without a destination in mind. Climb a mountain and scream out into the void. Kiss the hell out of a stranger. Skinny dip in a lake. Get lost and lose yourself (they are two separate things). Explore the wilderness (especially the one within). Think less of destiny and more of the moment right here. Because when you are old and ill with your loved ones around you, fame won't matter, nor will the extent of your wealth. You are the sum of the stories you can tell. "

― Beau Taplin

16 " One day, whether you are 14, 28 or 65,
you will stumble upon someone who will start a fire in you that cannot die.
However, the saddest, most awful truth you will ever come to find––
is they are not always with whom we spend our lives "

― Beau Taplin , Hunting Season

17 " The one thing I know for sure is that feelings are rarely mutual, so when they are, drop everything, forget belongings and expectations, forget the games, the two days between texts, the hard to gets because this is it, this is what the entire world is after and you’ve stumbled upon it by chance, by accident––so take a deep breath, take a step forward, now run, collide like planets in the system of a dying sun, embrace each other with both arms and let all the rules, the opinions and common sense crash down around you. Because this is love kid, and it’s all yours. Believe me, you're in for one hell of a ride, after all––this is the one thing I know for sure. "

― Beau Taplin

18 " It is a frightening thought, that in one fraction of a moment you can fall in the kind of love that takes a lifetime to get over. "

― Beau Taplin

19 " Listen to me, your body is not a temple. Temples can be destroyed and desecrated. Your body is a forest—thick canopies of maple trees and sweet scented wildflowers sprouting in the underwood. You will grow back, over and over, no matter how badly you are devastated. "

― Beau Taplin

20 " She was unstoppable. Not because she did not have failures or doubts, bit because she continued on despite them. "

― Beau Taplin
