Ciara Love Quotes

History is who we are,” I say finally. “The past shapes us. Even the parts you can’t remember.

See, the thing about the falling in love montage," she said, her voice hoarse, "is that when it's over, the characters have fallen in love.

That was one of the hardest things about breaking up. It's not a pair of bookends, the beginning and the end... It's all the things we used to do that we'd never do again and all the things we'd never do for the first time together.

Just because something doesn't last forever doesn't mean it isn't meaningful

How about life's too short to be second-guessing yourself the whole way? You can only go with what you feel right now and if you feel like it might make you happy, even for a while, jump in with both feet, girl, and get wet.

Was this what being straight was like? A boy in your bedroom making a mess? Not for the first time, I thanked God I was a lesbian.

I don’t believe there’s one right person for everyone, and I spent fifty-one years with the same woman. But I do believe there’s a right person for you at different times in your life. Whether that relationship lasts a week or fifty years is not what makes it special.

If you truly love someone, if they were ever important to you, it doesn't disappear. What it looks like might change, but that's only the surface

Maybe that’s what a relationship means, carrying a part of someone around for the rest of your life.

I like having something that can't ever change. It's already happened.

Things felt more messy than ever. Could someone treat you badly and still love you? Someone could treat you badly and you still love them, so maybe the reverse was true too. But just because you loved someone it didn't mean you had to give them another chance. Or maybe that's exactly what it meant.

I wanted to tell her how much I liked her, how I felt this tugging feeling in my stomach that drew me close to her, but I couldn’t let the words out of my mouth because it felt like unleashing something I couldn’t control.

Nothing good starts with I hope you'll be happy for me. The phrase is loaded with the unsaid ending because you won't be happy for yourself.

She flipped her hair over to the opposite side. My stomach flipped over to its opposite side.

Love didn't just disappear did it? Mine didn't. It wasn't some light I could switch on and off. It was something that had grown inside me, its roots tangled around all the organs of my body.

I forgot what it was like to be kissed by someone who might want more than a kiss. I knew then that Ruby was definitely not experimenting. I should have been scared. I should have left the room. I should never have gone upstairs with a girl who made me wobble.

Look," I said in my softest voice. "you got your heart pulped. You missed someone and then you wanted to feel like they loved you again. that's not pathetic. It's your heart, it's soft and mushy and it's supposed to be and I'm sorry he thought it was okay to mess with it but that's his mistake, not yours.

Relationships change and the past isn’t some static thing you could keep forever like a photograph. No one else seems to understand that. Just because something happened, it doesn’t mean it will mean the same thing to you forever. It changes with you.

I'm just. A girl. Standing in front. Of another girl, asking her. To please accept. This grand. Gesture. As an apology for being an absolute gobshite.

When you truly love someone, it doesn't go away,

I thought about how amazing it was that this moment would exist forever. Perfect and unchanged. A moment where I always be madly in love with Ruby Quinn.

Was it possible to have your cake and then not be sad when your cake leaves you and smashes your heart into a mushy pulp?

The roller coaster here gives off the distinct aura of taking your life into your own hands, but I hear life-threatening circumstances bring people together, so why not?

You're a handsome one, aren't you?" she cooed. "So strong and sturdy. What a good hasp you must have; what a firm sense of your purpose. But you've been holding your place for so long. You can't be expecting to stay closed forever. Why, that isn't fair! The people who put you here don't appreciate you the way I do. They don't understand how difficult it is to be a lock, and do the things you do. I would appreciate you always. I would never leave you alone in the rain to rust." "Are we watching a woman try to seduce a lock?" asked Andrew. "I'm not objecting if we are -- your kink is okay and all -- but I just want to confirm that everyone else is seeing what I'm seeing, here." The lock clicked as it released, popping open. "No, we're watch a woman successfully seduce a lock, said Jeffery. "Fascinating." "Her love life must involve a lot of handcuffs," I said, earning myself a snort from Ciara as she reached out and removed the padlock from its place on the door. "Don't ask about mine and I won't ask about yours," she said, making the lock disappear into her pocket.

Instead of moving on, it felt like everything behind me was being wiped out, as though I had conjured it into being and when I wasn't looking it all disappeared.

I love you. But I’m not in love with you.” It’s such a cliché I didn’t even really know what it meant. How was in love different from love?

See, the thing about the falling in love montage,” she said, her voice hoarse, “is that when it’s over, the characters have fallen in love.

I suoi occhi mostrano la sua anima. E la sta mostrando a me. Ed io vorrei poterla abbracciare e prendermene cura, per tutta la vita, giuro.

That's how I was feeling too. Except when I started feeling that way it made me want to be close to you, to share things with you, not to pull away.

That was one of the hardest things about breaking up. It's not a pair of bookends, the beginning and the end. It's the unraveling of the future.

A man-stealing, failed wannabe New York fashionista

The fence is as strong now as it was the day we met. Barbed wire strewn between white picket fences and roughhewn poles.

I heard a plea for absolution in those words. I saw it on his face. Tell me I'm not a terrible person.

In fact, a whole ex-girlfriend themed ghost train sounded genuinely terrifying. You'd get in and instead of a mummy mannequin covered in toilet roll popping out, it's her and you look down and you're wearing a baggy old jumper with a stain on the front. You turn the corner and you find yourself being forced to scroll through her Instagram and there are replies from a girl with tattoos and she looks exactly like the celebrity your ex fancies most. Right at the end, they play a video on a loop that's just screenshots of all the pathetic texts you sent when you were too heartbroken to have any dignity.

There's good news and bad news. The good news is, we've had a lovely time. The bad news is...we'll be back.

Cedes was about to get to the bottom of this Ciara mess.

I’ve tried committing suicide in this apartment over two times but each time I attempt, I keep seeing Ciara’s and Allison’s faces and I just stop altogether” Porsha cried. This

Lisha still had the Ciara situation on her mind. She rushed across town from St. Anthony’s to the Olive Garden in Greektown.

I got the shock of my life when I looked and saw that Ciara had the powder from the candy lined up on the little table that was in the den and then started sniffing it up her nose as if it was cocaine. When

Lisha’s ears perked up at the mention of Trigga’s name. She was ready to knock Ciara’s bird brain out.

It finally came down to killing Ciara. She was a threat to her family and Cedes didn’t need a snitch bitch on the loose.

There stood Trigga and a beautiful pregnant woman. She would’ve started cussing him out if it weren’t for the death stare he was giving her. Trigga knew Ciara was the type to act belligerent in public.

Ciara was trying to get a rise out of Cedes. Even though she wasn’t heavy set, she was thicker than Ciara.

I could feel Rick’s eyes on me the whole time as I drove. I already knew what he was thinking about, but I hoped that he didn’t try to start any mess in this car, especially while my kids were with me. The weather was terrible outside, making it extremely hard for me to see. “Where you get that cash from that I saw in your purse?” Rick asked me. I cursed myself for leaving the money that Antonia had given me the other day in my purse. When we had gotten to the register so that I could pay for the groceries, I reached into my purse to retrieve my EBT card, and Rick caught a glimpse of the fifty-dollar bill that I had lying in there. “Antonia gave it to me, okay?” I told him, hoping that would be the end of this conversation. “So, you hiding money from me now, Gina? Is that what we’re doing?” he asked me. “Rick, I’m not hiding anything from you because this isn’t yours to begin with! The girls are going on a field trip next week, and it’s to pay for it!” I yelled at him. Right now, the rain had begun to pick up even harder and loud sounds of lightning and thunder were rumbling outside. “I don’t give a fuck about no damn field trip! Give me that money!” Rick yelled, trying to reach over my lap. I slapped his hands away, which caused me to swerve in the next lane and a car to blow the horn at me. “Rick, can you stop, please! You’re scaring my babies!” I yelled at him. It happened so quick. I was so distracted that I ended up running the red light and it was too late to brake because at this point, the eighteen wheeler came crashing into the right side of my little beat up Honda Civic which didn’t stand a chance. All I remember was looking in the rearview mirror and I noticed that neither Allison nor Ciara was in a seatbelt. It took seconds and their little bodies went flying out the front window and the truck had pretty much crushed into Rick and I, leaving everything to turn to black.

What course are you on, then?" she asks. "History." "So you want to read about people who died before you can even remember," she teases, nudging me in the arm. I take a moment to think about what it means to me so that the words come out right. "History is who we are," I say finally. "The past shapes us. Even the parts you can't remember

You're able to talk about your feelings, even when it's difficult. Even if the talking is sometimes shouting." He smiled at me again. "How'd you grow up with so much emotional intelligence when you have a dad like me?" "I guess I get that from my mum

Ruby leaned in and kissed me. A big movie kiss that should have had swelling music and soft lighting and a torrential downpour. But it happened in a garden, in broad daylight, and then Oliver turned the hose on us. "Does that count as kissing in the rain?" Ruby asked. "Let's debate that after we murder him.

YOU'RE A WANKER, NUMBER NINE!" I yelled the famous line from Imagine Me & You

I do," she said. "I don't want to forget what we had. Ever. In the past, we're perfectly preserved, best friends, in love forever. I like that." She looked at the ceiling. "Everything is moving so fast. Before long everyone we know will be scattered across the country, the world even. Our lives will look completely different to what they've always been so far." She put her hand on mine. "1 like having something that can't ever change. It's already happened.

I really don't think that's true at all. If you truly love someone, if they were ever important to you, it doesn't disappear. What it looks like might change, but that's only the surface.

And I knew what kind of person she was. Even if things changed, if she took up knitting or deep-sea diving or she got married or she adopted fourteen cats and lived in a lighthouse, some things would never change. The years of petty squabbles and sleepovers, first loves dissected, notes passed and secrets shared. It hadn't disappeared because they were over, and it couldn't be undone.

Relationships change and the past isn't some static thing you could keep forever like a photograph. No one else seems to understand that. Just because something happened, it doesn't mean it will mean the same thing to you forever. It changes with you. The friendship you cherished, the wife you adored, the child you raised. It can all become meaningless so easily, which means it was always meaningless from the beginning and you just didn't realise it.

Sometimes I forget that I'm a lesbian. As in I forget that it's statistically unusual and that some people have strong feelings about it. Even though I've encountered a few thoughtless comments or downright cruel ones, especially at school when I first came out, for the most part, the people in my life don't care. But people still looked. I saw it when Hannah and I walked down the street. People would glance at our clasped hands. Briefly. Sometimes they smiled, occasionally they frowned, mostly they just moved on to noticing the next thing, but it always made me feel watched. Sometimes it's the little things. Being noticed doing something that would be invisible if I were with a boy.

There was a surprising amount of overlap between cute rom-com disaster scenes and your average horror movie disaster. Of course in rom-coms there is only sexual tension; in horror there's a knife-wielding serial killer, so the tone is subtly different, you know?

It's a pet peeve of mine when straight women call their friends "girlfriends." They are not your girlfriends. If you are not getting up close and personal with the lady garden then there are words for that: friends, mates, buddies, pals, etc, etc. Leave us our word, OK?

chpping

some post-sex sapphic haze,

I wasn’t nervous. I mean, we’d kissed before. So why would I be nervous? I tried to say I wasn’t nervous, but nothing came out.

When you fall out with someone, you grow to hate the same things you once loved.

But in the intervening months I'd learned a neat trick for managing all those pesky feelings. I pretended it never happened and focused on something else.

It's not like the movies where you storm out and never speak again or you have a huge meaningful conversation and work it all out. You just get on with it until it isn't so raw any more.

1. No acting like a sap. So if I catch myself gazing longingly and thinking things like 'she's the most beautiful girl in the world', I'm in trouble. 2. No we-ing. As in 'we love this', 'we are cat people', 'we are going to live happily ever after'. 3. No daydreaming. Fantasies about a future we're not going to have is a major red flag. 4. Absolutely no serious conversations. That means conversations about Mum or not wanting to go to Oxford or my complicated feeeelings about things like Dad or the wedding. 5. No fighting and especially no making up. Fighting about stuff implies you have some kind of investment. Making up after a fight is protecting that investment.

I’d never been broken up with before but the scene was so familiar that I knew my lines. Do scenes like this happen so often in real life that they end up in the movies, or are the movies giving us a convenient script for inconvenient conversations?

Ciara has confirmed every single one of my suspicions about Opate Match and their clientele. Like so often when you market something for the elite, this is what you get. Shallowness and superficiality. Certainly not true love.

That was one of the hardest things about breaking up. It's not a pair of bookends, the beginning and the end. It's the unravelling of the future. The flat we would never move into together, the cat we would never pick up from the shelter. It was all the times I wouldn't hear her go on and on about some boring film I couldn't sit through, or the way I wouldn't see her do that silly tap dance she does when she's trying on new shoes. It's all the things we used to do that we'd never do again and all the things we'd never do for the first time together.

You're the uptight one and I'm the carefree spirit who has to teach you how to loosen up, chill out, break the rules." "Excuse me? I'm the one who scaled a wall and bought you a star. I'm obviously the carefree one," I said, although the bit about breaking the rules was a little close for comfort. I didn't have rules because I was uptight. I had them because I was afraid of what I might do without them. That's not being a control freak. It's not.

I didn't want to go but I pulled my T-shirt over my head anyway and I watched Ruby put hers on too. There was something more intimate about seeing her putting her clothes on than taking them off. For a second, I saw us in our imaginary flat in our imaginary future again. Waking up beside her and getting dressed before going downstairs. It was the kind of moment you only shared with one person and most people probably didn't think about it much at all.

Seeing Ciara and the detective had her on edge. Suppose Ciara told him who injured her, she and Cedes would go to jail and she hated the color orange.               “What’s

How could he be giving what was hers, away? Before Ciara could put the head of his dick in her mouth, he pushed her off.

Good thing Ciara didn’t notice him standing here. She was on the phone, being loud.

Everything was saying killing Ciara was what it had to be. That’s the only way she’d be able to live in peace. She only hoped there was enough time before Ciara’s gums started bumping. __________

You can’t help who you love, Ciara! And sometimes it isn’t the right person… and sometimes it isn’t the person you marry!

although we barely knew each other I felt like there was some kind of intangible connection, a grabbing, reaching, searching feeling that meant I hadn’t so much chosen to come here as much as I found myself pulled in her direction.

There I am, sitting across the table from Hannah. It’s a cute café with gingham tablecloths and twee pictures on the wall that say things like Baking: where the fondant stop. All I’m thinking about is how pretty she is. I don’t realize she’s about to ruin my life.

It’d be like climbing up the rope in PE with Kristen Stewart at the bottom looking disappointed in you. I mean she’d look like that anyway, that’s just her face, but you know what I mean.

It wasn’t like kissing those other girls. The ones who were tentative and giggling or the ones who went full force on my mouth but left their hands limp at their sides because my body didn’t interest them. I forgot what it was like to be kissed by someone who might want more than a kiss. I knew then that Ruby was definitely not experimenting. I

But even though I’m certain Dad believes I’m the one who pulled away from him, he’s the one who put these huge boulders between us. I couldn’t climb over them if I tried. And I didn’t have the will to try.

See, I think love isn't this fixed thing that can beat all the odds. It fades or changes and it can twist into something else. So, I've believed for a while now that there was no point in being in love. Not if it's all going to go away and leave you kind of broken. I thought it wasn't worth my time. especially if for me, time might be shorter than everyone else's.

That was one of the hardest things about breaking up. It’s not a pair of bookends, the beginning and the end. It’s the unraveling of the future.

Drama is stories and ritual and performance and theatre. It's a way of understanding the human experience.

That was one f the hardest things about breaking up. It's not a pair of bookends, the beginning and the end. It's the unravelling of the future. The flat we would never move into together, the cat we would never pick up from the shelter. It was all the times I wouldn't hear her go on about some boring film I couldn't sit through, or the way I wouldn't see her do that silly tap dance she does when she is trying on new shoes. It's all the things we used to do we'd never do again and all the things we'd never do for the first time together.

See, the thing about the falling in love montage is that when it's over, the characters have fallen in love.

Oh, wisht. You think you can work in the business of love this long and not get some of the gaydar? I've known some brides in my day who shouldn't have been marrying grooms, that's for sure. You still get the odd one here and there who doesn't know it yet, poor dears. I try and give them a hint, you know, subtle, would you not like a nice pantsuit, dear. That sort of thing.

Sometimes the best feelings in the world don't last forever. They're explosions in the body or the heart or both at once, and you know that you'll never be the same as before, but it's OK because you can always build something new in the wreckage.

I don't really watch those. They give people unrealistic expectations of love

It scares the life out of me. Literally, I'm avoidingg having a normal life because I'm afraid of it all being taken away. And I really have to work on that. But I was so wrong about love, about us. Just because something doesn't last forever doesn't mean it isn't meaningful.

Doesn't that give you unrealistic expectations of how likely are you to be stabbed by a knife-wielding maniac?

You're not the guy. That's the whole point. Neither of us is the guy. In the lesbian rom-com, we would discuss all of our feelings until our throats dry up and our bodies shrivel.

We were crunching along the gravel drive now and a set of motion-sensor lights lit up. I ground to a halt, realizing Meabh was trapped with Mrs. Something. She couldn't run. But then in a blur, like a sprinting knight in shining armor, Kavi appeared, racing around the other corner of the house towards Meabh. He didn't slow down as he barreled towards her and threw her over his shoulder. 'Keep going,' he shouted at me. Mrs. Something began chasing after us, shouting. 'GET BACK HERE, DANIEL.' into the dark night air Daniel shouted back. 'BYE, MAM, I LOVE YOU. I'LL SEE YOU AROUND THREE.

Distracted, I opened the door with the phone cradled between my shoulder and my jaw. Sure enough, Beth was standing there with a bottle of wine.

Oh, they’re definitely not the same. If this was a lesbian film, unfortunately, one of us would have to kill ourselves at the end.” “Drastic.

I used to love her penchant for bursting into song, but when you fall out with someone, you can grow to hate the same things you once loved.

That was the thing about breaking up. You think you’re over it and then something happens and you feel the loss all over again.

I don't know. I guess it's nice to know that there are people out there who remember her. Who are living better lives because they knew her.

I can't think of any more but that's because I love the way you're not just a random collection of quirky traits.
