Book cover for This Is Me Letting You Go
Just because someone is not around to appreciate the complexities of who you are does not mean that you deserve anything less than pure joy.
Derek
Implication here is that the person who will perceive these complexities has to be someone else. That this pure joy will be external, so it has to come from another person. How about recognizing that joy in myself?

Jim  Butcher
“You.... tapped that ass. Presumably it was, phat?”
Jim Butcher, Changes

John  Green
“So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.”
John Green, Looking for Alaska

Neil Gaiman
“Sometimes we can choose the paths we follow. Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all.”
Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 4: Season of Mists

George R.R. Martin
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

Stephen  King
“The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are things you get ashamed of, because words make them smaller. When they were in your head they were limitless; but when they come out they seem to be no bigger than normal things. But that's not all. The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried; they are clues that could guide your enemies to a prize they would love to steal. It's hard and painful for you to talk about these things ... and then people just look at you strangely. They haven't understood what you've said at all, or why you almost cried while you were saying it.”
Stephen King, The Body
