A Thirst For Existence

There is no greater discovery than seeing God as the author of your destiny.

How was it possible to miss something you no longer wanted?

Night does not cover our troubles, it brings them to the mind.

I was born lost and take no pleasure in being found.

The fact is that five years ago I was, as near as possible, a different person to what I am tonight. I, as I am now, didn’t exist at all. Will the same thing happen in the next five years? I hope so.

I will never say the things that I want to say to you. I know the damage it would do. I love you more than I hate my loneliness and pain.

You are never stronger… than when you land on the other side of despair.

Letting go. Everyone talks about it like it’s the easiest thing. Unfurl your fingers one by one until your hand is open. But my hand has been clenched into a fist for… years now; it’s frozen shut.

We need, in love, to practice only this: letting each other go. For holding on comes easy; we do not need to learn it.
