"As much as it sucks, you need to force yourself to remember your very worst times together, his most irritating habits, and the hard truth that not only can he live without you…but he’d rather."

"I’ve been loved in life, but all that matters now is that I’m loved by you."

"Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water.
And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes you cannot even breathe deeply, and the night sky is no home,
and you have cried yourself to sleep enough times that you are down to your last two percent, but

not even loss.
You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day
you are going to find yourself again."

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any."

"But sometimes we get sad about things and we don’t like to tell other people that we are sad about them. We like to keep it a secret. Or sometimes we are sad but we don’t really know we are sad. So we say we aren’t sad. But really we are."

"I tried to drown my sorrows but they learned how to swim."
