QUOTES

And in a blink of an eye, you were gone.

I hope you find someone you can’t live without. I really do. And I hope you never have to know what it’s like to have to try and live without them.

I’d been hearing my name for 16 damn years but you made it sound like it was worth something.

“It was probably nothing but it felt like the world.”

i’m sorry i get so jealous and that i get angry when i feel like someone else is better for you than i am i just got you back and i am so scared to lose you again because if i do i’ll lose myself and you’re the only one that makes me happy and i don’t want anyone else to see how you crinkle your nose at funny things or listen to you breathe while you sleep next to them or feel your heart beat when things get a little to hot between us and i want to be the only one that notices how safe your hugs feel or enjoy the way you smell like a place i’d like to call home i don’t fucking want anyone to ever think that they are lost and you are their compass home like i do. we have so much history and i want to be the last girl you have any history with i want to be the only one that gets to feel how soft your lips are or how rough you can be i want to be your only one and i want to be the girl you stay with until people ask when we’re finally gonna get hitched. i don’t want you to make anyone else feel they way you make me feel. god i’m so sorry for being such a mess. i know i don’t deserve you i get it i get it but i’m so in love with the way you are and how you make me feel. i need you more than you’ll ever know and i love you so much more than i’ll ever show but i need you i need you and i’ve never needed anyone else this much before and i’m so scared because everyday it’s like there’s more distance between us. you keep saying you don’t want to get hurt again so you’re being distant with me for your own good and that you still want me but i can feel you slipping away and it feels like no matter how hard i try i can’t stop it. i’m sad i’m sad i’m so fucking sad and i wish i could take back the days i hurt you so much. i just need you and i’m stupid and selfish and i love you. please stay.

Your name hurts.

If you look at the fact that you have a roof over your head, food to eat, that you are young and beautiful and live in a peaceful land, then no, you have nothing to be sad about. But the fact is, we are not only a physical body, we have souls too, and sometimes our souls get sick. If you break a leg you don’t just say ‘I have no reason to have a broken leg’ and ignore it; you seek help. It’s the same when your soul gets hurt. Don’t apologize for being sad.

You’re the first thing I remember when someone tells me: Make a Wish.

You can be lonely even when you are loved by many people, since you are still not anybody’s one and only.

1. Do not date a boy who does not care what your favourite song is. The boy who does not care what melodies ignite your heart strings with love and wonder while staring at passing street lights on the last train home, will not care if it’s 2 a.m. and your heart is breaking. 2. Do not let anyone fold you up like last winters tattered scarf and put you away with the others in a neatly labeled box. Even when there’s thunder and the sky is crying, you are your mum’s favourite summer dress. You are to wear yourself like you believe it. 3. We are all stories. Write yours how you want. Make today’s chapter about purposely taking the wrong bus and discovering a tiny blue tea shop, or folding origami paper hearts over and over on your window sill. Just make sure it’s something you’d enjoy reading. 4. I will always try to save you. 5. Someday you will be 19 and lost and heartbroken and you will think about a place you’ve seen on TV or heard or read about in a book or seen a picture of. You will feel your heart drop into your stomach. Go there. For a day, a month, forever, but it’s important that you go. 6. The world is so beautiful. Do not let the slumped over homeless man outside the convenience store or the stories of guns and bombs on the television let you believe otherwise. We are all so lost. All of us. We all show it in different ways. I write bad poems. Others start wars. There is no inherent evil, only good people searching too hard. 7. I love everything about you. 8. Money turns people into liars and emotional ghosts. School grades are an inaccurate representation of you. Measure your life’s worth in how many times you’ve nearly lost your life to laughter, how many books you’ve closed with happy tears in your eyes, people whose lives you’ve brought joy to, marshmallows eaten, or countries visited. 9. Don’t ever let anyone tell you to stop crying. Cry if you want to. It’s okay. You’re allowed. 10. My best friend once told me that the most important decision he had ever made was to love everyone and everything. He’s the only person I’ve ever known to have a viewable aura of light around him. Don’t forget to love this world, to love people. Be light. You are already mine.

Sometimes we expect more from others because we would be willing to do that much for them.

The thing is, we could have. We could have done anything, could have done it all.

Sometimes you meet someone and even though you never liked brown eyes before, their eyes are your new favourite colour.

When he decides he doesn’t love you anymore, here is what you do: Move on quietly. Love yourself loudly.

No matter how much you think you know a person - no matter how pretty they act, or how popular they seem, you can never know what their lives are really like.

Once you lose someone it is never exactly the same person who comes back.
