Let your soul stand cool and composed before a million universes

things will remind you of him, like the restaurant you two used to go to or your song will play on the radio and all the memories you both shared will find themselves crawling back into your veins and into your ribcage and sometimes it will find its way into your mind and you will become blinded to everything else around you. but please remember that every ending is a brand new beginning it may take a month or it may take 5 years but one day that song wont make you clench your teeth while its playing and you will be able to eat at that restaurant and sit there without even remembering the touch of his body next to you and you wont be able to remember what it was like to be there with him. he will become a distant memory and as time passes the memories will fade and be replaced by the new guy who you share way more with than just a restaurant and a song but you share a life with him and he makes you a better you and he makes sure you never fall asleep crying and its not shut the fuck up but rather i love you so fucking much.

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive. Never surrender.

I liked the idea of living in a city- any city, especially a strange one- liked the thought of traffic and crowds, of working in a bookstore, waiting tables in a coffee shop, who knew what kind of odd, solitary life I might slip into? Meals alone, walking the dogs in the evenings; and nobody knowing who I was.

Don’t sit and wait. Get out there, feel life. Touch the sun, and immerse in the sea.
