“Dear Life, I am slowly falling in love with you again”

“There’s really no shortcut to forgetting someone. You just have to endure missing them everyday until you don’t anymore.”

“She understood that the hardest times in life to go through were when you were transitioning from one version of yourself to another.”

“To the hardest year of your life… when you didn’t crumble. When you refused to break. When, on the worst night, you shispered into the dark: Challenge accepted.”

“I think you still love me, but we can’t escape the fact that I’m not enough for you. I knew this was going to happen. So I’m not blaming you for falling in love with another woman. I’m not angry, either. I should be, but I’m not. I just feel pain. A lot of pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt, but I was wrong.”

“I learned not to trust people; I learned not to believe what they say but to watch what they do. I learned to suspect that everyone is capable of living a lie. I came to believe that other people - even when you think you know them well - are ultimately unknowable.”
