  • Bahiyah Patelhas quoted3 years ago
    Happiness does not happen. Happiness must be uncovered, separated from the skin of pain. It must be claimed. Kept close.

    Protected.

    “I love you, Ella,” I whisper. “I will love you for the rest of my life. My heart is yours. Please don’t ever give it back to me.”

    “Have you ever heard of Blue Streak?”
    I blink at him. “That’s the name of a movie?”
    “Romeo Must Die? Bad Boys? Rush Hour? Rush Hour 2? Rush Hour 3? Actually, Rush Hour 3 wasn’t that great. Tangled?”

    She kisses me again, crying again, and suddenly I don’t recognize myself. I don’t recognize my hands, my bones, my heart. I feel new. Different.

    “You asked me to marry you,” she says softly.

    “Yes.”

    “Wow.”

    I want to remember to celebrate more. I want to remember to experience more joy. I want to allow myself to be happy more frequently. I want to remember, forever, this look on Aaron’s face, as he’s bullied into blowing out his birthday candles for the very first time.

    This is, after all, what we’re fighting for, isn’t it?

    A second chance at joy.
  • Gungunnnhas quoted8 days ago
    Because how can we stand against tyranny if we ourselves are filled with hate? Or worse—

    Nothing?

    “I love you, Ella,” I whisper. “I will love you for the rest of my life. My heart is yours. Please don’t ever give it back to me.”
