She’s nothing I’ve ever wanted in a girl. And absolutely everything I need.
How is it possible that I’m already falling in love with you?
She deserves so much better than what I can give her. I don’t, however, think she deserves better than me. I think she would be perfect for me and I would be perfect for her, but all the bad choices I’ve made in my life are what she doesn’t deserve to be a part of.
But for the first time, I don’t feel like the English language has developed enough letters in the alphabet to adequately express the words I want to say to you.
Why didn’t you tell me that the foundation you taught me to stand on is made from quicksand?
I think we all just got to a point where we were waiting for someone else to initiate it, but no one ever did. Maybe that’s the root of a lot of family issues. It isn’t actually the issues people are hung up about for so long. It’s that no one has the courage to take the first step in talking about the issues.
Confrontation leads to action. Avoidance leads to inaction.
If silence were a river, your tongue would be the boat.
But sometimes you can’t control where your mind goes. You just have to train it not to go there anymore.
It’s easy when we’re on the outside to believe that we would walk away without a second thought if a person mistreated us. It’s easy to say we couldn’t continue to love someone who mistreats us when we aren’t the ones feeling the love of that person. When you experience it firsthand, it isn’t so easy to hate the person who mistreats you when most of the time they’re your godsend. Ryle.
I’ve never loved someone I hate so much, and I’ve never hated someone I love so much.
Apologies are good for admitting regret, but they do very little in removing the truth from the actions that caused the regret.
I don’t even want to be with anyone if there’s even a remote possibility that there’s a third party at play. Love should be between two people, and if it isn’t, I’d rather bow out than take part in the race.
Shouldn’t there be more distaste in our mouths for the abusers than for those who continue to love the abusers?
I know is if you’re going to cheat on Silas Nash it had better be with Ryan Gosling.
We’re branded. You and me. We are so in love, Charlie. You feeling it yet? Do I make your hear go pitter patter?
So whether or not you can find it in your heart to love me again, I needed to thank you for saving me. And if there is any part of you capable of forgiving me, you know where I’ll be. Tonight, next year, the next, for eternity. The choice is yours.
Cycles exist because they are excruciating to break. It takes an astronomical amount of pain and courage to disrupt a familiar pattern. Sometimes it seems easier to just keep running in the same familiar circles, rather than facing the fear of jumping and possibly not landing on your feet.
I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I can’t wait to shine light on all your perfects.
I want to feel that again. I want to remember what it feels like to love someone like that. And not just anyone. I want to know what it feels like to love Charlie.
