Reminders of Him

by Colleen Hoover

There was before you and there was during you. For some reason, I never thought there would be an after you.

There are people who find peace in forgiveness, and then there are others who look at forgiveness as a betrayal.

Maybe it doesn’t matter whether something is a coincidence or a sign. Maybe the best way to cope with the loss of the people we love is to find them in as many places and things as we possibly can. And in the off chance that the people we lose are still somehow able to hear us, maybe we should never stop talking to them.

sometimes we do things for people we love, even though we wouldn’t choose to do those things for ourselves.”

Now that I’ve forgiven myself, the reminders of him only make me smile.
