falling down

“i have to choose recovery every single day for the rest of my life and sometimes it’s a tough decision to make and it is okay to struggle.”

“you left. why did you have to leave?”

“There are two kinds of love…in the safe kind you look for someone who’s exactly like you. It’s what most folks settle for. But then there’s the other kind of love. Everyone’s born with a ragged edge, and some folks crave that piece that’s a perfect fit. You’ll search for it forever, if you have to. And if you’re lucky enough to find it, it looks so right, you start to tear at your own seams, thinking, maybe I could look just as perfect. But then, of course, when you try to get close to their other half, you don’t fit anymore. That kind of love…you come out of it a different person than you were when you started.”

“There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds.”

“The wrong person makes you beg for attention, affection, love and commitment. The right person gives you these things because they love you.”

“the only constant when people leave is me. it must always be my fault they leave.”
