I have my mother’s mouth and my father’s eyes; on my face they are still together.

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

“… and we are in bed together laughing and we don’t care about anything.”

Do you know what happens when you hurt people? When you hurt people, they begin to love you less. That’s what careless words do. They make people love you a little less.

When a thing has served its purpose, it will go away. If you try to hold on to something that has already fulfilled its purpose in your life, you are going to hurt yourself. If holding on is disturbing your peace of mind, it makes sense to let go. Surrender all attachments to people and things that you have been struggling to hold on to.

and the gentleness that comes, not from the absence of violence, but despite the abundance of it.

Want something to chase you? Run.

When you’re upset cry, your heart out, and then will come a point when your tears dry up and you can’t cry anymore. Nothing will affect you anymore. That’s the point; your weakness will equal your strength, and from that point you can only grow stronger; so never stop yourself from crying out loud.

Can you imagine if someone sent you a list of all the reasons why they love you?

What a terrible feeling to love someone and not be able to help them.

You tried to fix me, when I wasn’t completely broken. I was chipped and cracked but I still held together just fine. You wanted to help because that’s who you are, you fix things that are broken. I just wanted you to love me for my imperfections, that’s all, but I guess not everyone can love damaged goods.

And then there was a beautiful time when I still adored him…

Your words are like knives, they sharpen through my back, they shiver through my veins, they pump through my blood and drive me insane.

“All these ‘I mean’s’ and ‘sort of’s’ and ‘you know’s’ are important because there are characters who find it difficult to lay their tongues on what they mean the first time, and I think this should be indicated.”

Death has this much to be said for it: You don’t have to get out of bed for it. Wherever you happen to be They bring it to you—free.
