Sometimes, the negative voice you have to ignore is your own.

Penelope Ward, The Crush

You are where you are supposed to be. If your parents do not understand that, stop listening. Distance yourself. You are not a kid; you are a grown man.

I expected tears, screaming, his pain... but instead, he was still and silent, and that actually worried me so much more because I understand how deep this pain was. To just be crushed so completely that your brain has to shut down in order to spare you from feeling.

I understood the sentiment of constantly feeling like you had to put on an act to appear like you had it together, when on the inside, you really felt like a million little needles were poking at your most soft and tender spots. It was exhausting to constantly try and fool others into thinking you had it all together. It was even more tiring to trick yourself into believing it when you were bleeding from a hundred invisible wounds.

Humans are the same across the board. Always unhappy. Always searching for more. Never satisfied with what they have.

You are only confined by the rules you set for yourself. Live your life.

I’m afraid of getting hurt. I have a deep-seated need to feel free—to have an easy escape. I don’t ever want to trust another person again who might let me down.

Carian Cole, Don't Kiss the Bride 

Marriage—being in love—is a choice to stay every day, and keep staying, no matter what. You don’t lie, you don’t cheat, you don’t leave, and you don’t give up. You stay.

My nana used to say that broken people love the hardest because they appreciate the things that make their heart beat.

She said I have commitment issues, and hell, she’s right about that, and part of me knows it goes deeper than just people betraying me and using my success for their own gain. All of my feelings of insecurity can be traced right back to Mama and Harvey. Love means making yourself vulnerable; it means giving power to someone to hurt you. Who needs that?
