Silent Suffering

You must understand that there is more than one path to the top of the mountain

When I text you it means I miss you.

Someday you’ll find someone special again. People who’ve been in love once usually do. It’s in their nature.

I am sorry someone loved you badly, and that they made you feel like you take up more space than you deserve. I am sorry they abandoned you when you need them the most and it has made you believe that love is an awful thing that hurts.

I guess that’s just part of loving people: You have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up.

Who wrote the book on goodbye? There’s never been a way to make this easy When there’s nothing quite wrong but it don’t feel right Either your head or your heart, you set the other on fire

I considered suicide, but I felt a strange fondness for my body, my life. Scarred as they were, they were mine.

No one deserves secondhand love. We all deserve someone who thinks we’re the first choice —not just that we’re the best possible option or that there was no other choice. A person’s heart isn’t a consolation prize.
