We Are the Phoenix

“There are days that must happen to you.”

“I used to think I was tough, but then I realized I wasn’t. I was fragile and I wore thick f*cking armor. And I hurt people so they couldn’t hurt me. And I thought that was what being tough was, but it isn’t.”

When it’s over, leave. Don’t continue watering a dead flower.

We used to count the hours we spent together. I never thought they’d reach a total.

But no matter how mad I’ve been, I never for one second stopped wanting you here with me.

When you have a bad day, a really bad day, try and treat the world better than it treated you.

I like how sleeping next to someone means more than sex sometimes, the body’s way of saying ‘I trust you to be by my side at my most vulnerable time,’ you have no defenses when you are asleep, you tell no lies.

It’s such a shame to waste time. We always think we have so much of it.
