“A song that wrenches the heart finds a knowing ear and a liking heart.”
“Less is less. Heartbreak is heartbreak. You think I m sitting here gloating. Telling myself that my suffering beats yours? Hurt is hurt. You don t measure these things.”
“It hurts to love. It s like giving yourself to be flayed and knowing that at any moment the other person may just walk off with your skin.”
“My heart is kerosene, my mind a match. I’m seconds away from igniting.”
“Sometimes you get everything you ever wanted, only it doesn t look like what you wanted anymore.”
“There is no Kodak in the world that could sear an image to memory like a heart when it is broken.”
“Could you really love two different people at once? Could you split your heart in half?”
“Strange, how we often hate the ones who save us and love the ones that are like poison.”
“Heartbreak was the worst. It was worse than a cord wrapped around the wheel on you computer chair.”
“I was even a little glad that if it wasn’t going to be me she wanted, it was going to be someone who really deserved her.”
“My heart was broken so badly last time that it still hurts. Isn t that crazy? To still have a broken heart almost two years after a love story ends? ”
“...I told him a story of two people. Two people who shouldn t have met, and who didn t like each other much when they did, but who found they were the only two people in the world who could possibly have understood each other.”
“If I love you more than you love me, I’m as good as dead. Yet I can’t make myself take it back. I can’t just walk away from you, because every time you pass by me without smiling, without touching my hand, or at least making eye contact, it feels like I’m dying inside.”
“So it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.”
“In an undertone, I murmured, This isn t over. I won t give up on you. I ve given up on you, he said back, voice also soft. Love fades. Mine has.”
“When you re missing a peice of yourself, aching, gut wrenching emptiness begins to take over. Until you find the link that completes your very soul, the feeling will never go away. Most people find a way to fill this void, material possessions, a string of relationships, affairs, food...I bare my soul, with words, for all to see.”
“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you re going to mess up sometimes, it s a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you re going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they ll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they re your true best friends. Don t let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they ll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can t give up because if you give up, you ll never find your soulmate. You ll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn t mean you re gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don t, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life s a beautiful thing and there s so much to smile about.”
