Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Mental illness doesn’t make you a burden. Only a weak person would think that of you.”
Because if I’ve learnt anything from this it’s that sometimes to truly love someone you have to let them go.
Despite what ended up happening between us and how much she hurt me, I still feel something akin to homesickness when I think of her. Nostalgia is a funny thing.
Hearing that Summer-Raine is suffering only causes me pain and it’s pointless. Because the truth of the matter is that there’s nothing I can do about it anyway.
Over time, the absence of him from my life got easier to manage, so long as I didn’t see him unexpectedly on social media
Our worlds may have changed, we may not know each other anymore, but that magic that was always between us is still there. We don’t belong to each other anymore, but our souls still reach for each other as if we do.
We’re strangers and soulmates and ghosts from our pasts. I’ve moved on from her, yet I’ve loved her every single day since she left.
“Babe is a word men use when they forget the name of the girl they’re fucking. It’s easy. It’s impersonal. It lacks intimacy. Babe isn’t the name you use to refer to the love of your life.”
“You really think that you’re the only one who wears the bruises from that day?” He laughs. “Well, what the hell am I supposed to think? You left me, remember?
“Pretty girl, listen to me. There is no one else in this world for me but you. It has always been you. And I will wait as long as you need me to until you show up on my doorstep and tell me its time. I’ll wait forever, baby. Forever.”
So funny Bc this looks cute but my one ex said this to me and I got the ick 😋
“How?” she screams, drawing the curious eyes of city goers as they pass us on the sidewalk, but I don’t care. “How could you do this to me?”
It’s easier to pretend it’s not real when I don’t have to see them together. I can just go about my life, pretending that he’s still waiting for me to show up at his door someday. But maybe Max is right. I won’t be able to move on until I’ve faced my new reality. That’s how grief works, right? You work through the stages until one day, you finally reach acceptance. I’m not sure I’ll ever get there, that I’ll ever accept that Auden’s heart doesn’t belong to me anymore and never will again, but I have no chance if I keep allowing myself to live in a fantasy world and pretending that none of this

He married her, that’s the important thing. He put a ring on someone else’s finger when he was supposed to be waiting for me. And that’s betrayal enough.
Because it’s so much easier to be angry with him for betraying me than it is to accept that he had a good reason for breaking my heart.
Holy ain’t this the truth
I might understand his decision, but it still tears me apart. I still hate him for it. And truthfully, I don’t think I’ll ever forgive him,
“I want you to choose me.”
They never do sista no point in begging
To have had just one more magic moment out here before I return to life without her. To the life that makes me miserable because every day I wake up without the woman I love by my side.
Oh blah blah blah
I hate him because despite everything, I still love him with every shattered shard of my soul.
“You chose her over me,”
second-best, inferior, maybe even worthless.
“And what? You thought that you could just show up and I’d take you back like that?” I snap my fingers. “As if you haven’t picked another woman over me, not once, but twice?”
He’s told me pretty words before and then chosen another woman.
REEEEEETWEEEETTTTTTT
