“Denial can be confusing because it resembles sleeping. We’re not really aware we’re doing it until we’re done doing it. Forcing ourselves—or anyone else—to face the truth usually doesn’t help. We won’t face the facts until we are ready. Neither, it seems, will anyone else. We may admit to the truth for a moment, but we won’t let ourselves know what we know until we feel safe, secure, and prepared enough to deal and cope with it.”
― Melody Beattie, The Language of Letting Go: Daily Meditations on Codependency

“Love won't be tampered with, love won't go away. Push it to one side and it creeps to the other.”
