“Perhaps it’s just easier to smile and pretend everything is fine, rather than admit my heart’s a little swollen from losing something that wasn’t even mine.”

“People should fall in love more. Fall in love with the way your coffee swirls as soon as you pour the milk in. Fall in love with the look your dog gives you when you wake up. Fall in love with the rare moment when your cat doesn’t ignore you. Fall in love with the person who tells you to have a good day. Fall in love with the waiter who gives you extra chili fries. Fall in love with sweaters in winter and cold lemonade in summer. Fall in love with the moment your head hits the pillow. Fall in love with talking to someone until 4 a.m. Fall in love with the days you can hit the snooze button over and over again. Fall in love when a lover stares at you for five hours. Fall in love with the stars when they look at you. Fall in love with the sound of someone breathing. Fall in love with the bus if it’s on time or the train if it comes early. Fall in love with everything possible.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“Is that why you play the music so loud? A beat to drown out the thoughts, sound so high you cannot think, lyrics so close to home you don’t even blink.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“The tragedy of what could have been is nearly as crippling as what once was but can never be again.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“But the world is exhausted, and the only wealth we have left is love.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“Be kind to yourself, the way you would be to someone you love.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“If you were a novel, you’d be an adventure of sadness and happiness and love lost in between.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“Before we begin, I’d like to share a story. Once upon a time there was a jellyfish. We’ll call it You. You became lost sometimes You could be a little unsure You tried very hard But sometimes it didn’t feel like enough. I hate to spoil the ending But You is fine You is still here You is going to make it.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“You spend your whole life convincing yourself you are a chapter worth following, and then someone comes along and doesn't want to read the ending, and suddenly the whole story falls apart” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“Life is unpredictable, and I’d rather play every card as honestly as I can than have a deck full of regrets and what-ifs.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“I understand why people take flight from bridges, I understand why a girl holds a blade to her wrist, I understand why a grown man cries counting all his lists. What I wish for the world to understand is that in these fragile moments, patience and love are needed most.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“Of all the tragedies on this earth, there is none more tragic than a person who cannot see their worth.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“People grow apart. Distance doesn’t always mean miles. Sometimes it means two friends going separate ways. The person you poured your heart out to, traveled through new cities with, called at three in the morning just to get ice cream, suddenly becomes someone who can’t even text you back. So, you start to wonder what happened and where it all went wrong. How can this person who was once your lifeline now be a stranger who holds all your memories? But people change and become caught up in their own lives. They may not even realize they are doing it. Sometimes friends disappear and we don’t know why. But you don’t deserve to be ignored. The things you have to say are important; you should never allow someone to make you feel as though they aren’t. You should never tolerate someone who can’t acknowledge the news you have to share. You don’t need this in your life. Let go of people who don’t make you happy.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts II: Healing the Heart
“I am no more the person that you left than you are the person I miss.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“When you take a lover who uncovers all your flaws, listens to the very essence of who you are and embraces you rather than judges you, hold on to this love for a lifetime, as you will never find a love quite as pure.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“They say don’t fall in love with writers because their poems are messy and their letters are empty words dressed up to look pretty. But I say fall in love with me because underneath the mess and in between the lines is a heart too full of love that would follow you to any city.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“I loved what we had too. The only difference was that I saw it as forever and you saw it as just for now.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“I tried to stop loving youso I built walls around my heartand found other namesto whisper in the night.But you carved yourself into my veinswhether you meant to or not.And sometimes I wonderif you remember the way we looked at each otheror maybe you just forgot.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
“Life is too short for games unless it’s a game of cards. Don’t text back right away; if you like them, pretend you don’t; and don’t you dare say I love you first. Well screw all that. I will text you back in three seconds; I will tell you that I like you; and if I love you, I’ll tell you every chance I get. Life is unpredictable, and I’d rather play every card as honestly as I can than have a deck full of regrets and what-ifs.” ― Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts
