“You can still start over again and do it much better the second time around.”

“There are people we meet in life who miss being important to us by inches, days, or heartbeats. Another place or time or a different emotional frame of mind and we would willingly fall into their arms; gladly take up their challenges or invitation. But as it is, we encounter them when we are discontent or content and they are not. Whatever they are, we are not and vice versa. Two trains going in different directions that pass for a few powerful moments at full speed, blasting noise and wind but then they are gone. Whatever serious chemistry might have been possible if, isn’t.”

“Always be kinder than you feel.”

“I pretend nothing has happened because nothing has happened that I can explain.”

“Cutting people out of my life doesn’t mean I hate them. It simply means I respect me.”
