“And God said "Love Your Enemy," and I obeyed him and loved myself.”

“I believe that when you lose someone you don’t necessarily learn how to live without them. You don’t have to. You build your life back up around the cracks they left. Around the gaping abyss in your heart. We’re so scared of letting go and moving on, of finally being happy - even years later - because a tiny part of us still thinks we’re supposed or expected to be grieving. The best thing we can do is to look for traces of the people we lost in every place we can think of, in their favourite songs, in photos, in everyday life - whenever we feel like they’re close. Don’t stop looking for signs. In the end it doesn’t matter if they’re really signs or coincidences. As long as we feel their presence in these signs, there is no reason to stop believing in them. We can choose to remember the beautiful memories. The funny ones. Those who make us forget we were ever sad in the first place, only lucky to have had them. To have had the chance to spend a fraction of our lives with them. We can keep them alive through conversations. Maybe we don’t have to let it all go in order to move on. You can always keep the parts that matter.”
