❝ you’re the only good thing in my life. ❞

❝ i had this whole dream life that i envisioned for myself. ❞

❝ give me the magic phrase to say, to make you feel better and i’ll say it. ❞

❝ i don’t just want you to believe it. i want you to know it. ❞

❝ there is not a single day that goes by where i don’t think of what i’ve lost. ❞

❝ i took the sourest lemon that life has to offer and turned it into something resembling lemonade. ❞

❝ i’ll make you a bigger laughingstock than you already are. ❞

❝ i care what everyone thinks. you know that. ❞

❝ truth is, i never thought i’d have anything to care about again.   ❞

❝ i need to know that i can move forward. ❞

❝ i don’t know if you have some problem with that arrangement, but also, i don’t really care. ❞

❝ i did everything wrong by you. and you’ve done everything right. ❞

❝ i should’ve been there. and i’m going to be there, okay? ❞

❝ your enemies will see you exactly as you want to be seen. ❞

❝ what happens when you die? uh, is.. you die. ❞

❝ you do that a lot. doubt yourslef.  ❞

❝ they look at me like i’m a joke, right? which makes me start to think that i am a joke. ❞

❝ i’m not gonna stand for anything changing between us. ❞

❝ life is full of color. and we each get to come along and we add our own color to the painting.  ❞

❝ people will die. in our lives, people that we love. in the future. maybe tomorrow. maybe years from now. ❞

❝ there’s no dying. there’s no you or me or them. it’s just us.  ❞

❝ it’s the only thing i have left. and at first i didn’t want to wear it. i wouldn’t even look at it, but now it’s all i have and i can’t take it off now. ❞

❝ what am i doing? i’m supposed to be comforting you, not snotting all over you. ❞

❝ what happened is my ___ died. and i hated them for it. ❞

❝ i couldn’t eat for a month. and i used to wake myself up crying, so i could cry myself back to sleep again. ❞

❝ why do you push all that away? you can’t just kill the feelings like they’re some creature you’re afraid of. ❞

❝ that pain is apart of you. i can feel it. ❞

❝ i need you to know something. i want you to stand out. ❞

❝ that was a midlife crisis. but just a little one. ❞

❝ you treated me like a dog. and just like a dog, i kept coming back again and again, just hoping for a scrap from you. ❞

❝ there’s no one in this world i’d rather be too hot or too cold with. ❞

❝ when you’re a grown up, you don’t have to do the stuff you hate. ❞

❝ if i let up for a moment, i will remember that i am unwanted. and then what’ll happen to me? ❞

❝ i know you’re making fun of her, alright? that’s not cool. ❞

❝ that was real. those feelings were real and i know you know that. ❞

❝ and it doesn’t shock me that you’re scared, right? you’re horrified and you’re trying to sabotage it. ❞

❝ what might be worse than that, is that i’m not sure you’ve experienced anything real you’re entire life. ❞

❝ you have robbed me of the feeling of trust. do you understand how that feels? ❞

❝ as you get older, you might start to find that things get harder. ❞
