24 Quotes by Crystal Cestari

This got me thinking about endings and how the final moments of a story can color our entire perception of a narrative. But endings aren’t the epitome of a story; they are just how it stops. The real story is the middle: the ups and downs, the lefts and rights. There are so many directions a story can go, and it’s that meaty middle that gives us insight in what is truly going on.

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.

If you are lucky enough to find love, you should celebrate it. You should shout it from the rooftops, or sing it in a song, or compete in a reality show to make your dream come true. You shouldn’t let love pass by unnoticed, especially because there are many who will never experience it.

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

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

It’s kind of hard to properly work up a full-blown crush when you know you’ll never be the endgame.
