You see yourself as very average, ordinary. And there is nothing ordinary about you, Rachel." (Something Borrowed)

In the final seconds before sleep, I wish I could go back and undo everything, give those little girls another chance.

We are in love and meant to be together.

But I have learned that you can't just create your own timetable and will it to come true.

Really-nothing is unforgivable if you truly love someone.

When you are in a relationship, you are aware that it might end. You might grow apart, find someone else, simply fall out of love. But a friendship isn't a zero-sum game, and as such, you assume that it will last forever, especially an old friendship. You take its permanence for grandted, whuch might be the very thing so dear about it.
