&&. a ticking timebomb.

&. if you’re still bleeding, you’re the lucky ones ‘cause most of our feelings, they are dead & they are gone        We’re setting fire to our insides for fun.

               i can’t control their fear,                               only my own.

you have never been fearless, only BRAVE, you learned to pick your battles, plan your attack, but the WORST war you waged was with your own heart

“I usually like a little more romancing.”

“Would you put day drinking under ‘Experience’ or ‘Special Skills’?”

“I’m scared for you.”

“I’ve been asking the impossible of you, I see that now.”

“Now, that sounded like flirting to me.”

“Don’t… have feelings, okay?”

“Hey, last night was fun, but that doesn’t mean I want your opinion.”

“Again, I don’t flirt, I just say what I want.”

“Yes, you are a paragon of mental health.”

“I’m tired of missing you.”

“You think you can take your shit and dump it one me? You don’t get to do that. So you take your goddamned pain, and you live with it, asshole!”

“Knowing it’s real means you’ve got to make a decision. One, keep denying it. Or two, do something about it.”

“We get it, you’re a real gift to humanity.”

“You still get points for doing good.”

“I want you to know, I forgive you for everything. I’ll say it every day. For as long as you need to hear it.”

“If this is a booty call, I like your chances.”

“God damn you. Just had to be a hero, didn’t you?”

“You are a hard-drinking, short-fused, mess of a person. But you are not a piece of shit.”

“When you wake up, I won’t be around to screw up your life anymore.”

“I don’t get asked on a lot of second dates.”

“I can’t risk you.”

“You’ve been keeping tabs on me?”

“You shoot at me, I’ll pull the bullet out of my ruined jacket and shove it up your ass with my pinky finger, and who do you think that’s going to hurt more?”

“Don’t apologize. I don’t want that from you.”

“I was never the hero that you wanted me to be.”

“You’re exactly the hero I wanted you to be.”

“I don’t give a bag of dicks about what kinky shit you’re into, just be into it quietly.”

“It’s people like you that give people like you a bad name.”

“I let you fight my battles for too long.”

“The way I see it, most people go both good and bad going on. Just depends on which part wins that day.”

“They say that talking about a trauma… that it helps.”

“You help people. That’s who you are.”

“I thought about you. I knew it wouldn’t happen. I couldn’t help it. Picturing us.”

“You’re the first person I ever pictured a future with.”

“They say everyone’s born a hero. But if you let it, life will push you over the line until you’re the villain.”

“I’m life threatening. Steer clear of me. Please.”

“You’ve never loved anyone. You’re not even capable of it.”

“I hate feeling this way, I don’t know how you handle it.”

“ Wait, just tell me that no one’s trying to stop a wedding, run a Ponzi scheme, give anybody fake cancer, or turn into a justifiably vengeful townie.”

“ I haven’t been this bored since I believed in Jesus.”

“ Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go get drunk enough to make you all seem interesting.”

“ I want to see all the parts of you, even the ones you are ashamed of.”

“ You look like you just got a trust fund.”

“ Since when do you like Scrabble? ”

“ Great leaders only need three hours of sleep! ”

“ Thank you for saving me from a Valentine’s Day even more depressing than the movie I was going to watch about it.”

“ It’s okay to date below the line. Madonna and Julia Roberts paved the way for girls like you.”

“ This is real life, not some Hollywood chick flick where a girl with a scrunchie gets a makeover and triumphs in the end.”

“ Here’s my advice: Have a little faith, and if that doesn’t work, have a lot of mimosas.”

“ I know you disapprove of me, but can’t you at least do so in a tuxedo? ”

“ Relax, man. Girls know that when a guy says that during it doesn’t mean “I love you,” it means “I love having sex with you.”

“ Okay, it’s just sex, and a one-time thing at that! Or, maybe a five-time thing. Or, let’s be honest, I’ve lost count how many times. ”

“ Do you forget what happens to you on vacation? There’s a reason you never get a tan line. ”

“ Just because you broke up with me doesn’t mean we can’t be friends.”

“ Who knew it would take tons of hate sex and a public takedown to finally get here?”

“ What have we here? Bed unslept in. Hair in missionary disarray. Yesterday’s dress with today’s shame all over it.”

“ When Prince Charming found Cinderella’s slipper, they didn’t accuse him of having a foot fetish.”

“ I miss you. I just want things to go back to the way they used to be.”

“ I always knew you were a whore. I never took you for a liar, too.”

“ Unless you have a reason to be here, I’ll have to ask you to wait on the curb with the rest of the trash.”

“ I’m not a stop along the way, I’m a destination.”

“ Sex is meaningful, like art. And you don’t rush art. ”

“ You’d think all of the money we spend on this private school, they could at least give us a comfortable spot to make out.”

“ I do believe all your years of underage boozing and womanizing have finally paid off. Truly, I am proud.”

“ There’s nothing wrong with having Chinese food on Thanksgiving. Jews have been doing it on Christmas since forever.”

“ It’s so hard finding obedient minions.”

“ I love you. And not just because I thought you were pregnant. And not the way you love some random guy who picks up your lit paper or some girl who likes your hair.”

“ Whoever said that money doesn’t buy happiness didn’t know where to shop. ”

“ The most important parties to attend are the ones you’re not invited to.”

“ Haven’t you heard? I’m the crazy bitch around here.”

“ I wasn’t aware that robots got jealous. Did they update your software while I was away?”

“ We don’t do prom queen; that’s for suburban high schools and the lame romantic comedies that are set at them.”

“ It’s just sometimes that my thoughts come so fast that I get confused.”

“ I’m glad you’re not wearing that raccoon makeup anymore, because you looked like one of the Incredibles.”

“ Three words, eight letters. Say it and I’m yours.”

“ You can tell us anything. We don’t judge. We’re the non-judging Breakfast Club. ”
