“I’m going to love her in all the quiet ways, the slow ways, the loud and obnoxious ways.”

“And isn’t it silly, to love the way someone’s things look like next to yours? Little bits and pieces of a life lived in parallel.” ― B.K. Borison, Lovelight Farms
“Leaning on other people doesn't make your achievements any less yours, La La. You can trust me to help you carry the load. You don't have to do all of this alone. I know you can take of yourself. You've been doing that as long as I've known you. But let me hold your hand while you do it, okay?” ― B.K. Borison, Lovelight Farms
“People get too caught up in how things look instead of how things feel,” ― B.K. Borison, Lovelight Farms
“It’s hard to love someone without restraint. To give yourself over to the swell and pull of it without fear of what might happen. I think it’s only natural to hold a part of yourself back and protect what you can.” ― B.K. Borison, Lovelight Farms
“It’s okay if it takes you some time to find it again. And it’s okay if you find it just to lose a bit of it here and there. That’s the beauty of it, yeah? It comes and goes. Not every day is a happy one and it shouldn’t be. It’s in the trying, I think.” I clear the cobwebs out of my throat. “Trying to be happy?” “No.” He shakes his head once. “That doesn’t work. Trying to be happy is like—it’s like telling a flower to bloom.” He crosses his ankles and drags his palm against his stubble. “You can’t make yourself be happy. But you can be open to it. You can trust yourself enough to feel it when you stumble on it.” I” ― B.K. Borison, In the Weeds
“Luka filled the empty places in my life slowly, carefully, with his easy smile and stupid jokes. He brought me back to myself. And it’s been that way ever since.” ― B.K. Borison, Lovelight Farms
“Let it be known that telling a woman to relax has never once resulted in said relaxation.” ― B.K. Borison, Lovelight Farms
“I know you came back here because you were looking for your happy. But Evie, you gave me mine while you were looking for yours and I think it's only fair if I try to return the favor.” ― B.K. Borison, In the Weeds
“But that’s the thing about happiness, I guess. You can show whatever you want to the world and not feel a lick of it inside yourself.” ― B.K. Borison, In the Weeds
“We should remember those who have left us with fondness. Speaking of them keeps their memory alive.” ― B.K. Borison, Lovelight Farms
“Why are you giving these guys your time? Why are you settling for crumbs when you deserve the whole damn cake?” ― B.K. Borison, Mixed Signals
“I know I can be too much, but I think I’m just enough for you. I have no interest in forcing you into anything,” he continues. “But I want you to know that this past month with you has been the very best I’ve ever had. I should have told you that last night, but I was overwhelmed and nervous and everything came out wrong. Arrangement or no, everything I’ve felt with you, everything I’ve said to you—” He shakes his head slightly, that smile finally tripping from his eyes to the curve of his cheeks. I get the barest hint of a dimple before it’s gone again. “It’s been the most honest—the most real thing I’ve ever felt.” ― B.K. Borison, Mixed Signals
“I'm starting to think I made a mistake. When I taugh you how to love.If you think love means having to sacrifice bits of yourself to make someone else happy. If you are afraid to ask after what you want. Maybe I did something wrong.” ― B.K. Borison, In the Weeds
“You keep showing me pieces of yourself that I want to collect like seashells.” ― B.K. Borison, Mixed Signals
“You’re not always going to know what the right thing is,” he had said. “When that happens, you continue.” ― B.K. Borison, Lovelight Farms
“SEASONS CHANGE AND SO DO WE” ― B.K. Borison, In the Weeds
“Moments frozen in time throughout the years, always just for a second or two. But it has always been enough to make me feel like maybe he might want me the same way I’ve always wanted him. More than a friend.” ― B.K. Borison, Lovelight Farms
“If kissing him in the snow was magic then this is—this is sugarplum fairies and toffee brittle crunch on top of dark chocolate cupcakes.” ― B.K. Borison, Lovelight Farms
