Tell Me Something Happy

“The bravest thing you could ever do is let someone hurt you and still talk beautiful about them.”

“Tormented by remembering, tortured by forgetting.”

“The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. To dig for treasures shows not only impatience and greed, but lack of faith. Patience, patience, patience, is what the sea teaches. Patience and faith. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach—waiting for a gift from the sea.”

“We must accept the end of something in order to build something new.”

“You always used to say, “…until next time,” instead of goodbye. Those three little words a happy little reassurance that even though you mightn’t be around for a little while, you’d always come back. One day, you didn’t utter those three little words. Their absence rung in my ears for days; like an infection slowly working its way into my heart. You never did come back; a silent goodbye and a broken heart was all I had left to hold in trembling hands.”

“Some relationships are meant to heal you, some are meant to teach you how to build yourself up and some are meant to show you how to trust your own intuition”

“Being with the wrong person is lonelier than being on your own. Or it’s as lonely, in a different way”

“Your affection cost me the moon. It is time to reclaim the stars I once had the courage to waste upon you.”

“Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.”
