“I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists: one where my heart is full, my body is loved, and my soul is understood.”

“I wanted to break your fingers for the way they touched me, for the way they tore me apart like I was made of paper. However, I realized, it wasn’t you that hurt me. It was me, myself. And it wasn’t you I wanted to punish; it was me.”

“There is more to loving someone than just making yourself happy. You have to want him to be happier than you are.”
