“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”

“Don’t depend too much on anyone in this world because even your own shadow leaves you when you are in darkness.”

“I want to forget everything you told me. I want to wash away how uncertain you made me. How scared I was of losing you. How I lost you anyway. I don’t want to know how your hands feel or what makes you smile. I don’t want to see you in photos, familiar like a dream I had once or a book I never finished.”

“Maybe there’s a universe out there — happening now — where we end up together.
Maybe there’s a universe where I’m the right person for you. Where I adore every nice thing you did for me without starting to resent you. A universe where you actually end up with someone who appreciates you. Where no one becomes a doormat. Where both of us can shed our baggage and curiosity and issues.
If you think of it all this way, then it’s like neither of us did anything wrong.
You just found me in the wrong universe. That’s all.
Because you could have loved me forever. And maybe in another universe, I let you.”
