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

“Do not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves.”

“There are some things about myself I can’t explain to anyone. There are some things I don’t understand at all. I can’t tell what I think about things or what I’m after. I don’t know what my strengths are or what I’m supposed to do about them. But if I start thinking about these things in too much detail the whole thing gets scary. And if I get scared I can only think about myself. I become really self- centered, and without meaning to, I hurt people. So I’m not such a wonderful human being.”

““I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.” Agatha Christie”

“I still catch myself feeling sad about things that don’t matter anymore.”

“We try to hide our feelings but we forget our eyes speak.”

“Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider.”

“If we are the same person before and after we love, that means we haven’t loved enough.”

“I know what it’s like to be afraid of your own mind.”

“You’re so calm and quiet, you never say. But there are things inside you. I see them sometimes, hiding in your eyes.”

“Be brave enough to be bad at something new.”

“Sometimes we need someone to simply be there, not to fix anything or do anything in particular. But just to let us feel we are supported and cared about.”

There’s something beautiful about keeping certain aspects of your life hidden. Maybe people and clouds are beautiful because you can’t see everything.
