152 Quotes by Jacqueline Simon Gunn

Nothing looked the same, and everything looked the same.

This may sound like a bunch of psychobabble, but the truth is that we are all filled with contradictions; personality is fluid not black and white. And, well…we are all both strongand weak.

I suffer from chronic nostalgia. Looking back makes me dizzy, queasy, and I yearn for it, ache for it. I want it back; maybe the homesickness will leave then.But it’s not the way I remember it.

Tell me your arms are long enough to reach me across oceans. Tell me someday we will be together, somehow, some way. Tell me that this love we have can survive being together as well as we’ve survived being apart. Tell me we are more than the chasm of our divide.

You have been with me all along, even when it hurt like hell you have been with me, because I love you. And when you love someone they are with you forever.

He was the quiet after the storm.
