    Anne Lamott
    “You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”

    Warsan Shire
    “You want me to be a tragic backdrop so that you can appear to be illuminated, so that people can say ‘Wow, isn’t he so terribly brave to love a girl who is so obviously sad?’ You think I’ll be the dark sky so you can be the star? I’ll swallow you whole.”

    Gaby Dunn
    “Maybe there’s a universe out there — happening now — where we end up together.
    Maybe there’s a universe where I’m the right person for you. Where I adore every nice thing you did for me without starting to resent you. A universe where you actually end up with someone who appreciates you. Where no one becomes a doormat. Where both of us can shed our baggage and curiosity and issues.

    If you think of it all this way, then it’s like neither of us did anything wrong.

    You just found me in the wrong universe. That’s all.

    Because you could have loved me forever. And maybe in another universe, I let you.”

    “If you don't want to-I mean, genuinely are not attracted to me, do not think of me that way, cannot stomach the thought of touching me-then I would understand and I would never press the issue again. But that's not how you feel.'
    'How do you know?' I snap.
    'Because I'm very pretty.'
    I whip my head around to glare at him; he's smiling like he couldn't be more amused. 'You aren't that pretty.'
    'I am to you...'
    'You are unbelievable.'
    'I am, aren't I?'
    'Unbelievable arrogant.'
    'Not arrogant. Confident. There's a difference.'
    'Which you clearly do not understand.”

    Rachel Havekost
    “What started as a longing to be loved and seen for my physical beauty digressed into the warped belief that the illness itself was what drew the attention I so craved. I towed the line between longing for perfection and longing for pity. Using my body as a signaling flag, oscillating between peacocking in times where I felt beautiful, and waving distress calls in the depths of my sickness.

    I never used my words, and I didn’t know how to. I used my body.”
    ― Rachel Havekost, Where the River Flows: A memoir of loss, love & life with an Eating Disorder

    Airicka Phoenix
    “It was torture to be starving and not being able to eat. All I could think about was my face and my chewing and how much food was on my fork when I brought it to my mouth. Eating in front of people was like stripping and standing there naked for everyone to judge. My mind was in a constant state of panic wondering if I looked like a pig when I was eating, or if I was chewing too loud. Or worse, what if I ate too much and everyone saw what my mom always saw: a fat sob that could do with losing a few meals? The thought always left me in cold chills.”

    Ranata Suzuki
    “…the sad part is, that I will probably end up loving you without you for much longer than I loved you when I knew you.
    Some people might find that strange.
    But the truth of it is that the amount of love you feel for someone and the impact they have on you as a person, is in no way relative to the amount of time you have known them.”

I don’t have enough time in any day to think about you enough...I don’t even think about women anymore. I think about you.”

    “Its been six weeks," he murmured. "Six weeks I've wanted you. I know how you move, and how the sunlight makes a shadow on the curve of your cheek, and the shape of your ear." He chucked harshly then turned his head on the pillow to look at her. "I'm dying," he said. He dropped his fist against his chest. "Right here, you're killing me.”
