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.”
Ranata Suzuki

Stephen Chbosky
“I am both happy and sad at the same time, and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.”
Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
