“Sometimes the hardest things in life are the things we have to do. And even when we feel it’s right, I never want to hurt you.”

“I knew he didn’t love me but I adored him anyway.”

“Promises are what heals you in the present, and what kills you in the future.”

“It’s true that nothing has the potential to hurt so much as loving someone, but nothing heals like it either.”

“If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there’s salvation in life. Even if you can’t get together with that person.”

“No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.”

“Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.”

“You can’t be strong all the time. Sometimes you just need to be alone and let your tears out.”

“Why didn’t I learn to treat everything like it was the last time. My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future.”

“When there’s a fresh wound in your heart, keep it open until it heals. Air it out. Understand it. Dive into it. Be fierce enough to become it. If you ignore it, it won’t be able to breath. If you ignore it, it will merely deepen, spread, and resurface later, wanting to release. And when later happens, it will hurt even more; because when later happens, you won’t know what you’re bleeding for … Remain open to feel free.”

“Here is the truth: It is hard to be in love with someone who is in love with someone else. I don’t know how to turn that into poetry.”

“If I could go back to the day we met, I would turn around and walk away.”
