“I was nearly pathologically afraid of abandonment and so I’d repeatedly picked people who were absolutely incapable of giving me what I needed, to ensure I was never really at risk of substantial loss.”

“No matter what happens, how much of a mess you are by the end of the day with nothing to good to offer, there is still something left of you for me to love. No matter what happens to you, there will always be room for me to love. Always.”

“I could tell from the way you hugged me. Years had passed since we saw each other last. After saying a polite hello, we hugged like friends do. But then you squeezed me a little tighter right before you let go. I almost rested my head on your chest out of habit, because it suddenly felt just like old times. I thought I’d never be in your embrace again but there we were. I wanted to hold on tighter but I knew we were different now. The years changed us and you probably had someone else back home waiting for you. But I could tell from the way you hugged me, from the way you held on just a little longer, that somewhere, deep down, you missed me too.”
