“In the real world, happy endings are a rarity. For the most part, endings are indifferent, and occasionally they come so suddenly and unexpectedly they can scarcely be considered endings at all. Some of the things you love most will disappear without a trace and you’ll never really know where they went off to. You won’t always have the answers. You won’t always find closure or receive compensation for the hurt. Sometimes, you’ve just got to take a breath, make peace with yourself, and do your best to move forward.”

“That’s it, I’m done. With you, with us. With words that mean one thing and actions that say another. With every moment of dishonesty and indecision. I see clearly now that if you genuinely wanted to give me your time and affection, then you wouldn’t make me beg or bleed for them.”

“I’m not the type to cycle in and out of relationships. I experience true connection rarely and would never dare settle for less. I’d rather wait a lifetime in isolation for something that genuinely captivates me, than rush into something shallow or ordinary just to feel needed.”

“How sweet it is,
to rest easy at last,
to breathe a sigh of relief
in your arms,
to carry in us
the comfort of knowing
that every misery
and challenge
and difficult choice we ever faced
was simply a point
on a map to each other.”

“You have always been a good and devoted friend to me. We speak the same language. You elevate my spirits, and embrace me despite my many shortcomings and demons. My affections for you are unyielding and true. You are family to me. And I am family to you.”

“I think the beating in our hearts
was put there to remind us
that even when we feel alone in the world,
a part of us marches on.
That even at our lowest we carry
something inside us
that we can lean on and turn to.
That even when we have no one else,
we always have ourselves.”

“It’s a tough thing to let go without any hate to hold onto. Without betrayals of trust or irreconcilable differences to help you break the bonds. Dropping dead weight is easy. It’s learning how and when to say farewell to the good things that’s hard.”

“The final moments of a love are an awful lot like the end of a life. Your chest grows tight, memories flash before your eyes, and the world around you dims and wanes as you fight desperately to keep a dying thing alive. But peace does come eventually. When it arrives, let go. Walk toward the light.”
