“To Jasmine. From your best friend, Jasmine.”

:)

“Honest to God, cross my heart and hope to die, I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Or ever again. Whatever you thought you felt, whatever excuses you’ve talked yourself into believing to justify the way you treated me… live with it. Deal with it. If you know me half as well as you think you do, you know I’m not ever going to forgive you.” (…) “I could have forgiven you.” (…) “But I’m not that good of a person.”

“I didn’t want someone to pat my cheek and tell me everything was going to be okay. I wanted this man who would never take my shit, who would never let me quit, and I had a feeling would never quit on me. Not ever. Not if I screamed, not if I kicked, not if I told him to go eat a thousand mounds of shit.”

“I’m not in a bad mood. I haven’t taken anything out on anybody. You can’t call it being in a bad mood if I’m not being mean to other people.”
“All right, then what do you call it when you’re only being mean to yourself?”

“Love to me was honesty. Being real. Knowing someone’s best and worst. Love was a push that said someone believed in you when you didn’t.”

“I’m a catch.”
“A catch and release.”

“There was something wrong with us.
And I didn’t hate it. Not even a little bit.”

“No one loves me the same except the people I’ve let down over and over again.”

:(

“Knowing it was the right thing.”

I ain’t gonna be the person to tell a woman what she should or shouldn’t feel, but… what?

“For a moment, I thought about apologizing for changing my mind, but fuck that. I didn’t want to show Ivan of all people my naked body. I’d bet nobody else here would want to either. It was my choice. My decision. My body.
I wasn’t about to say I was sorry for being an inconvenience, because I wasn’t.”
