A guy can tell a girl he's in love with her until he's blue in the face. Words don't mean anything to a woman when her head's full of doubt. You have to show her.

Colleen Hoover
Image
Sometimes you have to choose between a bunch of wrong choices and no right ones. You just have to choose which wrong choices feels the least wrong.
Colleen Hoover
Image
I need someone who is willing to watch me brave the ocean and then dare me not to drown.

Find a balance between head and heart.
Colleen Hoover
Image
We try so hard to hide everything we're really feeling from those who probably need to know our true feelings the most. People try to bottle up their emotions, as if it's somehow wrong to have natural reactions to life.
Colleen Hoover
Image
This thing about you that you think is your flaw - it's the reason I'm falling in love with you.
Colleen Hoover
Image
It's not just lies they're referring to. It's life. You can't run to another town, another place, another state. Whatever it is you're running from-it goes with you. It stays with you until you find out how to confront it.

Some secrets should never turn into confessions. I know that better than anyone.
