Kindle Notes & Highlights
If I don’t respect myself, I’ll be left with nothing.
Those men think that their fancy suits and fancier cars can hide the fact that they’re nothing but medieval, unenlightened Neanderthals.
Of course. I feel sooooo protected and taken care of right now, fuck you very much.
He claimed I was being a greedy jerk who was jealous of him. Ludicrous, since it’s impossible to be jealous of somebody that inferior.
“My policy is never explain, never complain. Just makes things worse.”
“Watch your tone if you want to keep your teeth. Nobody talks to my wife with disrespect.”
“Talk to my wife like that again, and I’ll make sure you never talk at all.”
I wasn’t kidding about destroying him if he doesn’t stay away. Actually, I’m going to go ahead and do that anyway,
“Only the people who are close enough to stick a knife in your back can betray you.”
The truth will set you free. That’s a lie. The truth is jagged shards of glass you breathe in, shards that shred you until you think you’ll never recover.
The tears fall silently and endlessly. Her breathing is even too. It’s like she knows nobody’s going to comfort her—she’s alone in her grief.
It’s as though the world has finally crushed her. But I know better. It wasn’t the world. It was me.
She isn’t crying because she’s too much in pain. She isn’t crying because she believes she’s truly alone.
She was sad and lost, and I told her to fight. To even the scales. She must’ve taken that advice to heart. And she fought hard and valiantly. Did everything to defend her kingdom. And then I destroyed all her effort. Left her kingdom in ruins.
Sometimes there can’t be another chance.
I don’t hate him. I’m not even bitter. I’m disappointed and heartbroken.
“I don’t want something you have. I want you.”
I can only imagine how embarrassing it would be to get caught wondering if my soon-to-be-ex-husband was in love with me.
“I’m worthy of everything. I’m worthy of love. I am enough.
I don’t have to be anything I don’t want. I don’t have to meet any expectations except my own.
“You’re the moon in my night sky. I’m just putting a few stars around you so you can shine even brighter.”
“I have faith in you. You should, too.”
