“And what that stupid book doesn’t talk about is that after you dig down to find out the things that make you this way, after you flick out the seed that everything grew from, there’s still a hole there where the seed was. You still have to do something about the hole.”

Crying.

“Mum?”
“Yeah?”
“I do miss him.”
“Me too.”

😭

“Cleopatra was alone. So she put her hand in the snake’s basket to end the pain. The alone-ness. It’s not the same as loneliness. Alone-ness is an abyss. It’s being alone even when you’re surrounded by people. It’s vast and empty and silent.”

Don’t mind me. It’s just raining on my face! 😭

“When we stumble and fall, we pour so much energy and attention into the fact that we fell, and less on how we get back up again. Don’t you think?””

Painfully true!

“Autumn.

Her name, the answer to my heart’s every question.”


I’m fine. EVERYTHING’S FINE! 😭😭😭

“...the pain in the marrow of my being, in my soul, howled with unending force, even in the dark.”

My heart! Dear god, my heart! 😭😭😭

“This isn’t goodbye,” I vow. “This is until later. Goodbyes are only for things we can bear to lose.”

Don’t mind me. It’s just raining on my face 💔😭

“I’ve travelled the world these last few years, and you’re still in every flower I see.”

Excuse me, I have to go sob my heart out now!!

“Galen is going to be a star.
But I’ll still be a flower pushing my way through the cracks in the pavement.”

Okay, enough feels for me! Stoppit 😢

“Life has taught me a lot of things. I’ve learned there is much more to people than what meets the eye. People you think you know, turn out to be nothing more than complete strangers, and the people who you’re supposed to trust, who are supposed to stand by your side… well, let’s just say they are the first to stab you straight through the heart.”

Painfully true! <3

“I was sick of hope. It was too damn cruel.”

Okay, stop now. I can’t handle all these feelings 😭

I wasn’t falling and waiting for him to catch me. He wasn’t either. We jumped into this together, holding hands. And if we crashed, we’d crash together.

This book!!!!!! I cannot. I. Can. Not! Sam and Derek are just EVERYTHING!

“...Staying mad at someone is easy. To walk away and never look back is easy. It takes strength to put aside that anger and forgive someone. It takes courage to keep trying, not knowing if you’ll succeed.”

Just stop getting me now please, Jeannine! Jeez! 😭

“...Do the right thing as best you can, but don’t deny your feelings. Or tell yourself they’re wrong. Because as far as I’m concerned, as long as you’re not taking advantage of the woman, all you have to do is love her. If you can treat her well and love her, what other reason does there need to be?”

I love Nevada SO hard! This book is just... GAH!

“Things that once mattered become second thoughts, distant memories, and you quickly learned the only reason why life was so precious was because it ends.”

This book! Gah! 😭

"This was the real story. This was how it started. Not with locked eyes during romance and sex, but with blood. With locked eyes in a crisis. With I am here. Helping even though it hurt. Making your fingers let go even as your heart was breaking. To do what you had to do to survive so the story could go on being told."

My heart!

"He had no desire to leave this space, and yet within it, he was free. He could sit with her and feel what he was feeling, with no need to explain it, dismiss it or joke it away. Every time he looked up at her and thought, I love this, she looked up too, and her eyes seemed to nod at him."

<3

"I nodded, my body screaming for his, while the realization of what just happened was seeping into the cracks of my broken heart, and I didn’t know if it was harming or healing them."

“It hurts, right? It’s messy and complicated and it’s like a tattoo that never ends. A million needles inking something on your heart that isn’t even beautiful.”

I just... sigh. <3

"But my most personal thing was too much. Too dark. Kacey Dawson was luminous and I couldn't stand the idea of watching my deepest truth settle over her like a shroud, dimming her light with its awful finality." The words. Oh, God, the words!

"The music carved open my chest, flayed my ribs and showed the world everything inside." And I'm there!

"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground." Oh, Ned... :(

"Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?" "That is the only time a man can be brave." <3

"It feels unfair to move on when the ones we love can't." This. So much this. 3

"It's amazing how you can feel so lonely without ever being alone." Love this. <3

Okay, I'm so mad at Garrett right now. He's seriously pulling the "I paid for you" shit after he was the one who kidnapped her in the first place?! Is he hoping for some sort of Stockholm syndrome to kick in?? That's completely sick!

"You want the pope to exorcise a porn star? I mean, the dude's pretty liberal as far as popes go, but I don't think he'd go for that." Love the humour in this!

*Headdesk* You're friend tells you a guy forced sex on her in a furniture store and you think it's awesome? I'd kill the bastard if he did that to my best friend!

Okay, I'm getting cross now. This guy needs to learn the concept of no means no. Coercing somebody into having sex in public when they clearly aren't comfortable with it by threatening their job, isn't hot, it's bullying.
