- the hardest part about walking away from someone is the part where you realize that, no matter how slowly you go, they will never run after you.
- hell is loving you in my sleep and waking up alone.
- but you’ve slipped under my skin, invaded my blood and seized my heart.
- she said, ‘i’m so afraid.’ and i said, ‘why?,’ and she said, ‘because i’m so profoundly happy. happiness like this is frightening.’ i asked her why and she said, ‘they only let you be this happy if they’re preparing to take something from you.’
- i still catch myself feeling sad about things that don’t matter anymore
- they say you don’t get over someone until you find someone or something better. as humans, we don’t deal well with emptiness. any empty space must be filled. immediately. the pain of emptiness is too strong. it compels the victim to fill that place. a single moment with that empty spot causes excruciating pain. that’s why we run from distraction to distraction—and from attachment to attachment.
- blowing out someone else’s candle won’t make yours shine brighter
- i aim to be lionhearted, but my hands still shake and my voice isn’t quite loud enough.
- do not be so sweet that people will eat you up. nor so bitter that they will spit you out.
- at the end of the day people won’t remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel
- i always find myself caught between saying too much and not saying enough.
- closing your eyes isn’t going to change anything. nothing’s going to disappear just because you can’t see what’s going on. in fact, things will even be worse the next time you open your eyes. that’s the kind of world we live in. keep your eyes wide open. only a coward closes his eyes. closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won’t make time stand still.
- i love you in waves, and lately, everyday has been a hurricane.
- do not make homes out of people. this will leave you homesick and sad, missing arms that cannot hold roofs, hearts with shaky foundations.
- the thing i’m most afraid of is me. of not knowing what i’m going to do. of not knowing what i’m doing right now.
- i’d choose you. in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, i’d find you and i’d choose you.
- certain kinds of knowledge rob people of their sleep.
- the bravest thing i ever did was continuing my life when i wanted to die.
- you need to realize that the way you are feeling now will not be permanent.
- it’s so hard to act like i’m over this when everything you said tore my heart out of my chest.
