“Let it hurt. Let it bleed. Let it heal. And let it go.”

“It hurts every day, the absence of someone who was once there.”

“I think that this time, this is it, I really do. I think you are the one to stay, and the memories we are making are those that we will tell our children when they are old enough to understand. It’s so strange; I’m looking at you, and you are smiling at me and everything is perfect. And this is it, this is the moment. Right now, you are the only person I could ever imagine falling for. I can picture it so well: you and I, a family, a loving home, forever. But there’s no way of knowing whether you and I, looking at each other, will always stay this perfect moment in my mind, or whether it will be coated with the feeling of loss, of missing someone I loved so deeply, of having to let go when all you want to do is hold on, of trying to forget when that person has done everything to be remembered for.”

“and no matter how much you miss a toxic person for fuck sake please don’t call don’t write letters don’t buy flowers don’t stop the wedding don’t get into a relationship. allow yourself to heal. travel. find yourself. consider counseling. true love will find you someday.”

“I didn’t want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that’s really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you’re so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.”

If we attempt suicide and fail, we’re just looking for attention, but if we succeed, suddenly everybody loves us.
