“You are part of my existence, part of myself. You have been in every line I have...”
– Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
I am surprisingly forgiving. In fact, throughout the past few years I’ve realized that I’m almost entirely incapable to stay mad or to hold a grudge. I am not easily angered; I let most things roll right off my back. But even when I am upset, I have a hard time holding on to these negative emotions for very long.
Sometimes I see this as a flaw. It seems as if I am constantly setting...
How the hell does a broken heart get back together once it’s torn apart? You have to teach yourself to start beating again…
“Some people bring out the worst in you, others bring out the best, and then...”

“Jealousy is a disease; love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often...”

I’m afraid of moving on because I hate the way the past tense sounds. I keep changing because I’m so afraid of not getting it right. I fake apathy because I don’t want anyone telling me that something’s wrong with me. I act impulsively because nothing makes enough sense to think over. I don’t talk about it because I don’t want to disappoint anyone.
Here comes a feeling you thought you’ve forgotten.
I’m so in love with the memory of what you once were. I’m only tolerating what you’ve become.
I’ll make sure to keep my distance- say “I love you” when you’re not listening. How long can we keep this up?
I’m really an open book, but that doesn’t mean that everyone knows the true me. To tell you the truth, I’ve come to notice that most people don’t really like to read anymore. They just skim the pages as fast as they can. They spit pieces of my plot back at me without really understanding the moral of it all. And then they gain the satisfaction that’s associated with...
I’m absolutely sure that the stars haven’t looked like this since February of 2010. I haven’t felt this way in two years.
There’s something about longing for someone that really lights up the sky. You definitely miss people more deeply than you love them.
If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, if you’re gonna be somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time - baby, be mine.
You regularly acknowledge the fact that I’m still in love with you, audaciously pointing it out yourself from time to time. I do not deny it, nor do I attempt to justify my feelings. You don’t deserve to be lied to or patronized. Still, after all this time, I don’t think you have the slightest idea of what my love means.
I would drop anything if you asked for me; leave any...
“The idea of getting dressed is to look more beautiful.”

Go.
At least once a year, to a place you’ve never been before.
I can’t break her, I can’t break her fall. She’s lying in the back room, crying on the bathroom floor singing “I can’t take it, I can’t take any more”. She says today’s gonna be the last time, but I know there’s never gonna be an easy way out.
I firmly believe that we are the direct byproducts of each of our influences. Though sometimes without realizing it, we take something from every place we spend any amount of time in. We use pieces of others to build who we are. We grow because of the learning experiences of our past.
It’s important to remember, then, that everywhere we go, we leave something behind. We lose a part of...
“I guess relationships are just funny like that. It’s impossible to figure out...”

They compared her to a caterpillar - a mediocre being, unaware of how magnificent it was about to become. Promising her it would take nothing but time, they built her a cocoon of confidence and safety. And, of course, she emerged just as spectacular as promised. She floated through life, catching the eyes of all those she passed. But a butterfly cannot see its own wings - so the creature...
