1 " I’m not bright like you, but I promise, when your days are dark, I’ll be your light. "
― Micalea Smeltzer , The Confidence of Wildflowers
2 " But that’s life. It’s fluid, always moving, always changing. You either flow with it or you drown. "
3 " Wildflowers are strong. Resilient. They can grow under most conditions. I want to be like that.” I let my hair down, his eyes watching my movements. “I want to have the confidence of wildflowers—to never give up, to flourish, and thrive. "
4 " The house is quiet as I bake, but I don’t mind it. I like being alone, crave it. When I’m alone I don’t have to fake anything, paste a smile on my face if I don’t feel like it or participate in conversation when I’d rather be silent. "
5 " We are chaos. Unrestrained passion igniting with a single spark. "
6 " Everyone deserves to have someone who’s there for them. I want to be your someone. "
7 " You’re my girl,” he says it so surely, like it’s a fact already known, “and no one talks about my girl like that. "
8 " Love is like wildflowers; It’s often found in the most unlikely places. "
9 " Who we used to be doesn’t matter, it’s who we are now, what’s in our hearts that matters most. You’re sunshine, Salem, but even the sun doesn’t always shine.” His hand moves to cup my cheek. A sigh passes through my lips as I lean into his touch. “I’m not bright like you, but I promise, when your days are dark, I’ll be your light. "
10 " Who we used to be doesn’t matter, it’s who we are now, what’s in our hearts that matters most. You’re sunshine, Salem, but even the sun doesn’t always shine. "
11 " Time is a precious treasure, limited in quantity, and it can be squandered so, so easily. "
12 " You’re allowed to be upset, Salem.” His voice is soft, more gentle than usual. “You’re allowed to feel. Don’t let anyone ever let you think otherwise. "
