“Just be fucking honest about how you feel about people while you’re alive.”

“You don’t know distance until you’ve shared your bed with someone who’s falling out of love with you.”

“Distance doesn’t separate people. Silence does.”

“If I have learned anything over this last year it’s that you have to live your own life too so that if something we hoped for doesn’t work out, you still have two legs to stand on, you still have your own path.”

“Only those who care about you can hear you when you are quiet.”

“No one is afraid of heights, they are afraid of the fall. No one is afraid of the dark, they are afraid of what’s in it. No one is afraid of love, they are afraid of the broken heart.”

“It’s so difficult to describe depression to someone who’s never been there, because it’s not sadness. I know sadness. Sadness is to cry and to feel. But it’s that cold absence of feeling— that really hollowed-out feeling.”

“I need to stop fantasizing about running away to some other life, and start figuring out the one I have.”

“Do you think it’s possible that some people are born to give more love than they will ever get back in return?”

“I want to talk about what happened without mentioning how much it hurt. There has to be a way. To care for the wounds without reopening them. To name the pain without inviting it back into me.”
