I Know Who You Are

by Alice Feeney

Knowing a person’s name is not the same as knowing a person.

The lies we tell ourselves are always the most dangerous. It was a fight, that’s all. Everybody who has ever loved has also fought.

But lust is only ever a temporary cure for loneliness.

We used to say that it was just me and him against the world, before it changed to me and him against each other. We never said the latter, we just felt it.

Sometimes it only takes one person to believe in you to change your life forever. Sometimes it only takes one person not believing in you to destroy it. Humans are a highly sensitive species.

You can’t allow the past to steal your present, but if you siphon off just the right amount, it can help fuel your future.

I know I need to slow down, but sometimes the advice we give ourselves is the hardest to hear.
