“The ugly parts of love can’t lift you up.
They bring you
D
O
W
N.
They hold you under.
Drown you.
You look up and think, I wish I was up there.
But you’re not.
Ugly love becomes you.
Consumes you.
Makes you hate it all.
Makes you realize that all the beautiful parts aren’t even worth it. Without the beautiful, you’ll never risk feeling this.
You’ll never risk feeling the ugly.
So you give it up. You give it all up. You never want love again, no matter what kind it is, because no type of love will ever be worth living through the ugly love again.
I’ll never let myself love anyone again, Rachel.
Ever.”
― Colleen Hoover, Ugly Love

“Go be with your husband ... before he realises that he's still in love with me”
― Tarryn Fisher, The Opportunist

“If you only shine light on your flaws, all your perfects will dim.”
― Colleen Hoover, All Your Perfects

“Love is never supposed to hurt. Love is supposed to heal, to be your haven from misery, to make living fucking worthwhile.”
― Mia Asher, Arsen: A Broken Love Story
