“May this heart learn to break quieter this time, as I let you go again tonight. May these bruised hands learn to tremble less, as they find their way out of the silhouette of your ghost. This time, may this soul learn to fill the void in these veins, as I look for you no more when the Sun comes.”

“Most of life is so dull it is not worth discussing, and it is dull at all ages. When we change our brand of cigarette, move to a new neighborhood, subscribe to a different newspaper, fall in and out of love, we are protesting in ways both frivolous and deep against the not to be diluted dullness of day-to-day living.”

“We tell our stories differently, don’t we, you and I?”

“It was not until the day where you slowly slipped through my fingers like grains of sands, that I realized the mist of an autumn is no different from the sad blue hues that resides at each corner of the sky.”

“I am slowly learning that some people are not good for me, no matter how much I love them. I deserve someone who is gentle and kind, because my soul is getting tired. Realizing that I deserve something good is one of the first steps.”

“A lot of people think that in order to let go of a person and to move on you have to forget. You have to carefully loosen your grip on the memories, untangle your fingers and slowly forget the colour of their eyes or the lines to their favourite song. You have to act like they never walked alongside you, like they never made your heart beat faster or your chest tighten. You think you have to burn their photos, delete their messages and erase every trace they left behind. But you don’t. You can let go and still remember. You can move on and still keep the memories close to your heart. It’s the way you remember them that’s important. Can you think of them with a smile on your face and accept that there’s no returning or do you give in to the sadness that grips your heart and twists, searching for a way to go back?”

“Growing apart doesn’t change the fact that for a long time we grew side by side; our roots will always be tangled. I’m glad for that.”

“You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate. If you want to control things in your life so bad, work on the mind. That’s the only thing you should be trying to control.”

“Loving you meant loving every part of you, the good and the bad, the easy and the hard.”

“Don’t waste your love on somebody, who doesn’t value it.”

“Sometimes you are going to miss a person who was an almost to you. And feel sad because there is no name for that feeling. You just feel it in a way that makes you tired to your very bones.”

Yesterday was a really painful day. I don’t know how I went through it, I don’t know how I could still wake up this morning. But in the midst of the pain, I found passion. My little passion for everything.
