“I know you might think that you’re just sitting there, looking at some random book, reading some stupid words and maybe the world has told you who you are for so long that you’ve started to believe it. But, please, remember that you’re so much more than this.
Remember who you really are.”
“THE COMPLICATIONS START WITH YOU
Here is the simple truth about people: Love the ones you want to keep.”
“I hope one day you get to love someone like you love breathing air or drinking water. Like they are fundamental to your existence, needed and necessary.
I hope you get to love like gravity loves, like the sun loves the earth.”
“THE AMBASSADOR OF BAD THINGS
When something really, really bad happens to you, people will say to you, “I am sorry,” even if they had nothing to do with what happened.
And it’s because sometimes things happen that are so bad that what they really mean is, “I am acting as an ambassador and on behalf of everything that must hurt so much right now, I say sorry.”
Because sometimes things are so bad, someone just has to say it.”
“...everyone in the world deserves every chance they can get to find the things and experiences and people that make them happy. So give all of them another chance. Please, spin the world again.”
“The world is hard because you will have to fight for the things you love or worse, fight the things you love.
The world is hard because the things you love will kill you.”
“THE PURPOSE OF LOVE
When I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel, you’re the only person that can remind me.”
“THE PAIN UNFELT
I have told myself you are not allowed to hurt me anymore. That’s what hurts the most.”
“You’re wrong.
The question is not,
“How many times can your heart be broken?”
The question is,
“How many times can it heal?”
“THE WORDS ARE ALL IN LANGUAGES I DO NOT SPEAK
And yet, when you get here, you are not given instructions. No one tells you that heart A is meant to slot into heart B. There are no diagrams about how you are meant to live each day or directions on how to assemble some semblance of happiness. You are not even told what colours to paint your feelings or, given a purpose and a reason for your life.
You have to make all of it up. You have to make all of it, yourself.”
“Stop telling me to follow my heart. It once led me to you.”
