• Scream & Shout

  

  Don’t hold onto anything that doesn’t want to be held.

  
  

  The miracle of life itself – why people live and die, why they hurt and  get hurt – is still a mystery. We want to know the reason, the secret, the answer at the back of the book because the thought of us being all alone down here is just too much for us to bear, but at the end of the day, the fact that we show up for each other in spite of our differences, no matter what we believe, is reason enough to keep believing.

  
  

  The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they’re alive.

  
  

  You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

  
  

  Sometimes people write the things that they can’t say.

  
  

  It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime.

  
  

  I like how sleeping next to someone means more than sex sometimes. It’s the body’s way of saying ‘I trust you to be by my side at my most vulnerable time.’ You have no defences when you are asleep, you tell no lies.

  
  

  I just broke up with someone I spent my entire life with. I don’t have a heart anymore. I’ve lost my life.

  
  

  If someone wants to be a part of your life, they’ll make an effort to be in it. So don’t bother reserving a space in your heart for someone who doesn’t make an effort to stay.

  
  

  You are going to lose people in your life. I realize that no matter how much time you spent with them, or how much you appreciated them, it will never seem like it was enough.

  
  

  It was one of those times you feel a sense of loss, even though you didn’t have something in the first place. I guess that’s what disappointment is; a sense of loss for something you never had.

  
  

  I don’t know why we all hang on to something we know we’re better off letting go of. It’s like we’re scared to lose what we don’t really even have. Some of us say we’d rather have that something than absolutely nothing but the truth is, to have it half way is harder than not having it at all.

  
  

  There are moments when it’s too quiet. Particularly late at night or early in the mornings. That’s when you know there’s something lacking in your life. You just know.
