What doesn't kill you...

“I fear I’ll never feel a love like yours again.”

“There are some things that I won’t forget no matter how much I try. Yes, I will remember your birthday this year and the year after that, and the year after that. I will think of greeting you but I won’t, I will force every fiber of myself not to. I will remember the exact day I met you, and the fact that I made it my PIN number because it’s the only thing I know for certain I won’t forget. I will remember the last day I saw you and how I realised that day that we’ve become two different people that no longer fit in each other’s narratives. Point is, even though it’s over it will still be a part of me because there are some things that won’t leave you no matter how much you try to forget.”

“I think we were meant to be but we did it wrong.”

“Listen closely: the only time it’s too late to change yourself is when you’re dead. Until then, you’re simply making excuses or lying to yourself.”

“Sadness has a way of settling into the deepest parts of your being. Once there, it morphs into something darker, something cruel, and if you aren’t careful it will turn you into someone you never thought you could become.”
