"I'm not thankful for being fucked over, I'm thankful for what I took from it. What I learned. What I taught myself in that particular moment. I'm grateful someone was able to take me there and let me be in that moment - not with them, but with myself. How my emotions could surrender to someone and make me feel everything I felt. It destroyed me, but I made my way through; and I look back years from, and I still love him, I do."
"He was my entire world. He still is. My best friend, lover, partner in crime and my other soul. But he didn't agree. A person isn't supposed to be your entire world, he said. But he's wrong. When you love yourself, you love others. When you find yourself, you find others. When you create your world and it's thriving, you create others. And I built an entire world for him. For us. As he once built for me."
"There was no unknown. He loved me and I loved him. There was no question, no doubt, no uncertainty, which perhaps caused us to lose ourselves indefinitely and enter a void so permanent. One where we stood with such confidence, which sounds lovely; but when you believe you have everything, you simply lose everything."
"Looking back and wondering if it could have worked eventually hurts more than trying and failing."
"It takes awhile, but eventually you realize they lost you. You didn't lose them."
"People love the facade of a perfection relationship because perfection seems alluring. What they don't realize is perfection is terrifying."
"The fact that neither of us made sense was the beauty of it."
"I gave him my heart without thinking how it would feel if he returned it."
"We can't be afraid to dismiss the unappreciative."
"Your intuition speaks on a higher plane than anything you'll ever grasp."
"You have to grow. You have to be. You have to love yourself unconditionally."
