He was one of those people who made you feel like they either didn't know or didn't care that you were in the room and if they ever did acknowledge your existence it was bizarrely score one to you, and twenty years later they'd tell you they'd always had a crush on you but never had the courage to say anything and you'd tell them, What? I didn't even think you liked me? and they'd say, Are you crazy? I just never knew what to say!
Cecelia AhernNobody can pretend to know what people want to read or hear or see. People rarely know it themselves; they only know it after the fact.
Cecelia AhernOften when we realize how precious those seconds are, it's too late for them to be captured because the moment has passed. We realize too late.
Cecelia AhernThere's no limit to what you can dream. You expect the unexpected, you believe in magic, in fairy tales, and in possibilities. Then you grow older and that innocence is shattered and somewhere along the way the reality of life gets in the way and you're hit by the realization that you can't be all you wanted to be, you just might have to settle for a little bit less.
Cecelia AhernLove can change us beyond recognition, we become love-sick, soft-eyed jelly-bellied fools.
