Chapter 21🖤

“You’re not in love with me, not really, you just love the way I always made you feel. Like you were the centre of my world. Because you were. I would have done anything for you.”

“Overthinking is the biggest cause of our unhappiness. Keep yourself occupied. Keep your mind off things that don’t help you. Be optimistic.”

“Books are the ultimate Dumpees: put them down and they’ll wait for you forever; pay attention to them and they always love you back.”

“Sometimes you change your mind about a person. Or your feelings for them change, or they change, or, I don’t know, you just want to make a different decision. And that’s always okay. You don’t owe anyone anything.”

“Nobody wants to hear this, but sometimes the person you want most, is the person you’re best without.”

“It’s just this strange thing I do where I allow myself to briefly fall in love with another human being that I see on a train, or the sidewalk, or in a warm café.”

“You are going to break your promise. I understand. And I hold my hands over the ears of my heart, so that I will not hate you.”

“The sun watches what I do. But the moon knows all my secrets.”

“The scariest thing about distance is you don’t know whether they’ll miss you or forget about you.”

“You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”

“Other people’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality.”

“Never allow loneliness to drive you into the arms of someone you know you don’t belong with.”

“I wanted nothing more than to feel something, but I didn’t know how to deal with what came after the feeling.”

“I think it’s important to realize you can miss something, but not want it back.”
