If I had to sum it all up into one sentence, the reason why I love you, you, Vitor Braga Lara, so much, so raw, and so selflessly is because you made me a MAN.

Daniel’s proposal to Vitor

“You are the sunrise and sunset in my life. You’ve always been and will always be the wind that pushes me to greatness. You’re the Moon that causes my endless sea of emotions to rise and settle. The soft grass which I lay on for comfort. The Tree standing tall and strong, giving me the strength to carry on when I fall. You are the brightest star in the sky to me. You are the greatest gift I’ve ever received. For this, and more, I ask you to roll the dice and swear your eternal love for me.”

There’s no such thing as the perfect soulmate. If you meet someone and you think they’re perfect, you better run as fast as you can in the other direction. ‘Cos your soulmate is the person that pushes all your buttons, pisses you off on a regular basis, and makes you face your shit.
Madonna, as quoted by Vitor Braga Lara
