"[...]But…I think in order to be happy like
I’m happy, you need different things. And I want you to have whatever those things are.”

"You can’t control another person. It doesn’t matter how much you
love them. You can’t love someone back to health and you can’t
hate someone back to health and no matter how right you are
about something, it doesn’t mean they will change their mind."

"You can’t control another person. It doesn’t matter how much you
love them. You can’t love someone back to health and you can’t
hate someone back to health and no matter how right you are

"If a friend lied to me the way I lie
to myself, I’d say, “You’re a shitty friend.”"

“For everyone hung up on somebody or something.”

"[...]If this is
what love is like, maybe I don’t want it."

"Because I thought love was this thing that was
supposed to tear you in two and leave you heartbroken and make
your heart race in the worst way. I thought love was bombs and
tears and blood. I did not know that it was supposed to make you
lighter, not heavier. I didn’t know it was supposed to take only the
kind of work that makes you softer. I thought love was war. "

"You have to have one person in your life that you know would
never do anything to steer you wrong. They may disagree with
you. They could even break your heart, from time to time. But you
have to have one person, at least, who you know will always tell
you the truth."

"Handsome men that tell you what you want to
hear are almost always liars."

"Acceptance is a powerful
drug."

"Women will crush you, you know? I suppose everybody hurts
everybody, but women always seem to get back up, you ever notice
that? Women are always still standing."

I can't explain why rn but when I read this i immediately thought- cats always land on their feet. Maybe I'll explain it better later. But for now...it's jst put there...and you've read it...and now you know...

""And no matter where we are, no matter
what time of day it is, the world is dark and we are two blinking
lights. Flashing at the same time. Neither one of us flashing
alone.”"

"I’m saying that
when you really love someone, sometimes the things they need
may hurt you, and some people are worth hurting for."

"When you find that rare person who really knows who you are
and they still don’t love you…"

"That really tripped me out,
that everyone’s life was that precarious. That there wasn’t some
all-knowing mechanism in place that stopped things that shouldn’t
happen from happening.

That’s something that had always scared me."

"Just how honest do we have to get here? I know I told you
I’d tell you everything but how much “everything” do you really
want to know?"

Folks, I think the fourth wall just shattered 😮

" I had everything is because I had all the
things you can see.
I had none of the things you can’t."

"Which is what we all want from art, isn’t it?
When someone pins down something that feels like it lives inside
us? Takes a piece of your heart out and shows it to you? It’s like
they are introducing you to a part of yourself."

"She’s going to be the girl
bleeding in a beautiful dress until it kills her."

"It hurts to care about someone more than they care about
themselves."

"[...]I’d believe your soul mate
was somebody who had all the things you didn’t, that needed all
the things you had. "

"“It’s like some of us are chasing after our
nightmares the way other people chase dreams.”"

"When you have everything, someone else getting a little
something feels like they’re stealing from you."

" It seemed like a beautiful thing to
have, somebody giving you their lime wedge."

"“Shut up,
I’m reading.”"

I wonder of whom this reminds me 🤔 💀

"Music can dig, you know? It can take a shovel to your chest
and just start digging until it hits something."

"Something tells me men don’t do that same thing. When they
are standing there, threatening a woman, I doubt they count every
wrong step they made to become the asshole they are. But they
should."

"I wore what I wanted when I wanted. I did what I wanted
with who I wanted. And if somebody didn’t like it, screw ’em."

"[...]it felt like me but it didn’t feel like me and I had no
idea whether it was brilliant or awful or somewhere in between."

I can never explain what this means but I can feel it

"[...] if I didn’t start
trying—I mean being willing to squeeze out my own blood, sweat,
and tears for what I wanted—I’d never be anything, never matter
much to anybody."
