“But it’s a lie. No relationship is perfect. There’s always an ugly story swept under a rug of happy pictures and smiles. ‘Cause when you find the one, it’s just too fuckin’ hard to give them up, no matter the pain, no matter the shame, no matter the cost. So we have to patch up that fuckin’ rift, and love with a broken love. And it will challenge us to love harder, stronger, with more faith. Love fierce enough to overcast that rift, to make sure it never breaks open again.”
― Cole Books, Keeping Jahleel

“The world was beautiful, yet so damn ugly. Life was astounding, yet so damn hard. Love was phenomenally precious, yet so damn painful. I wanted it all to end.”
