24 Quotes by Crystal Cestari

Or maybe our paths will diverge someday, taking us in separate directions, making our relationship a brief but beautiful spot in a series of unforgettable encounters. Either way, it will be a journey worth taking. Either way, it will be a love story.

...aren't the memories worth something? Does it all have to be swept under the rug of regret?

Where does anyone come from? We're all just individuals trying to get through our days.

...a life - and a story - cannot be defined simply by the way one says good-bye. It's the introductions, the mistakes, and the triumphs that create a clear picture of who we are and where's we're going. Appreciate the journey, because when you get to the end, you'll only be able to look back and hope you don't regret what you see.

I'm not saying that people can't be happy or fulfilled on their own; of course they can. But being open to the possibility of love doesn't make you weak; it actually makes you strong.

You never know what you're getting into when you fall in love, but that doesn't mean you avoid the jump.

Stupid would be denying my heart something it wants just because it's afraid. I'm not going to live in life in fear just because of the unknown.
