“Give me two weeks to show you that there is more to live for, more to be alive for. Give me two weeks to make you fall back in love with life.”
Beauty is also within the darkness. It’s within misery and solitude, even if it’s masked.

How do I tell someone who’s suicidal that I’ve already found my happiness, and it will leave right when she does? How do I tell her that she is my happiness, that she is bringing light to my life? How do I tell her that she is my joy, everything that brings me satisfaction, that she is my euphoria… without sounding like I want her to stay alive for me?
you ever find someone that makes you want to rip your heart out and hand it to that person on a silver platter. If you ever find someone that warms not only your bed but also your heart and soul… hold on to them forever. They’re your sun. They’re what’s bringing light into your life. If they can ease your pain with just being there, lighten your mood, brighten up your days by simply being in your life. Colin, Eira, el o ella es tu sol.”—he or she is your sun.

Throw it on the streets and let a car run it over, step on it, I really don’t care, as long as you’re the one breaking me.”
It’s not very healthy to hold on to a person, to allow one single person to keep you alive, but for now, that’s far better than the alternative. I will learn to choose myself as motivation to live. I’ll learn that life is more than dark clouds and empty alleys.
